Got the flu. The routine the last several days has been, drag tired butt out of bed, work and plop back into bed. How many of you work when sick or hurt? People will see your answers on the poll.

And the poll is where?

Anyway painted on bum knee all year last year, had it replaced in Dec. now gonna paint a bedroom Sat. too give it a try.

It's there now. (at least on my screen) Or I am really really sick!

I had the flu last week and missed one day of work. Couldn't get out of bed.

Its there, my answer is, Couldn't get out of bed due to flu symptoms. What multi choice would that go under?

I won't meet with customers if I'm really ill. I don't think it's wise or polite. But I'll go to the office or work at home. Most of what I do is either meeting with customers or on the computer, so even if I'm not feeling well I can usually still accomplish something.

When I was in the field a sick day meant I only worked 8 hours.

I am stymied! You are right. Don't know how to edit the poll, but that could be a good one. "Who cares, it's all I can do to hug the porcelain convenience!"

I felt like that today, but sat on a five gallon bucket sanding shelves and doors, while others worked. That lasted till 2:30.

Dude my whole body was in pain, it even hurt while taking a shower. I'm talking about the water beating down on my body......man, I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy.

I was sore all over, but not that bad. Hope you are feeling better.

The thread wants to know if you worked while sick or injured. Did you?

 

[DW Custom Painting]

That would be a long time out of work, of course I worked.
Actually I missed this Mon. due to flu.

:yes:
Although, I don't have an office.

If the job is a new construction site, I might push it, but for repaint work if it much more than a cold, I would try not to work in a repaint customer's home. Does not seem professional or courteous.

 

[JNLP]

Better to be miserable at work. Save the sick days to go fishing!

I hate to miss work. I usually suck it up & go in. Atleast try for a half day. Then if I need a day off for something in the future I don't feel bad taking it.

 

[EricTheHandyman]

I'm a one man show, so if I'm not swinging a hammer or paintbrush, I'm not making any money, so I usually try to put in at least a partial day if I can.

 

[Rich]

man, you guys are troopers!...when I was in biz and I got the flu, I was curled up on the couch acting like a helpless little kid....if I wanted something, out came the puppydog and whimpering, lol

a cold or sore muscle means I was working a full day

 

[ProWallGuy]

To me, it would depend on how important the job is. If its just an average paper or repaint, I'd stay home. If its a high profile/high $$$ or extreme deadline, I'd be there.
