A cold cannot be compared with a nasty virus that specifically targets the lungs, now, can it?Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostNever been out with a cold? For someone with a crap immune system catching it could lead to pneumonia and death.

1. I'm in an office all by myself - admittedly no biosecurity / air changing but all I need is here (including coffee
))
2. Am now symptom-free, and have been for 48hours (last week was a symptom-fest, this week not so)
3. Not a permie therefore don't get paid when not at work
As a fellow SAS-head (even though you're an EnterpriseGuide user
) I'm not going to make a big deal out of it, but do us a favour and model from available data, yeah?

You are paid on the basis you are providing a service, not to go in and fill a seat... that is permie thinking.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostOh stop being such a permie!!
At least if a contractor goes to work whilst feeling crap he gets paid to feel crap.
If you are hiring a builder to build you a garage and he turns up sick and does shoddy work or spends most of the time sitting about, would you be happy when he bills a full days' work?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
