What's your attitude to sick leave?

Not on topic, but omg nai, your avi!!!

Lol, I noticed it too..very nice

I'm casual, so don't get sick days. but I do usually go in when I'm sick not because of the pay factor (I can make up my hours at home through the week) but because I feel like it impacts badly on me if I'm not there
and it's reallly hard if the kids are sick - Pie is coming down with every sniffle atm, and there have been comments made about my time off - keeping her home so as not to spread it - then I go into FDC & there are kids there with a runny nose
Sorry, bit of an OT vent

I very rarely take sick days. I work 0.5 so I swap days sometimes. When I left my last job, I left months and momths of sick leave. That was a bummer. But the upside was, that when I was preg with DS I took a faor bit of time off coz of morning sickness, and I had a heap of leave so it was no problem.

when my dad retired he left behind something like 600 ish sick days!!!
When my mum got cancer, she had something like 5 months sick leave, so you never know when you will need it

I guess my thinking on sick days is that mental health counts as well as a cold.
