That's one reason. Protecting my sanity by not having the same people asking me every half hour how I am.
A bad cold or a cut that's wrapped up isn't going to improve that fast.

I would stay at home as I would with a heavy cold, flu etc. I won't claim any moral high ground, generally if I'm infectious I don't want to be around people.
I think people's attitude varies very widely. My ex boss wouldn't dream of missing a day s work for a cold.........and would pass it on to the whole office.

Sadly some work places have quite strict sickness policies now and some people don’t always have the option. I know our work was getting like that. They introduced some sort of formula which meant that sick days very quickly added up to verbal then written warnings and could even end up in sacking.
It’s a real pea souper here and I’m not sure if it’s to lift all day. The warm spell is breaking down and we are back to cooler weather from tomorrow.
Off out for a wander soon.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Cooooeee. 14 degxl here and we have a bit of mist over the hills. There are weather warnings here for stormy weather, so a day of pottering.
Stay safe peeps

I can imagine this is happening. I only worked for small companies who were generally quite understanding. It does seem large employers are becoming less and less tolerant of any sort of absence.

I have risen!
We had an almighty storm here overnight, heavy rain, chunder and blunder, the works.
After I was badly assaulted on duty I had time off for operations. After the 2nd op HR (Human Remains) tried to start the disciplinary process over my absence levels. Suffice to say the Fed made light work of that and the force settled with me before the tribunal date rolled around. A-holes.

Good day out isn't it.
I went to 2 Lfc legends games. One was a present from my Bro and was a full hospitalty job....... Really good
I have had fish and chips. I bought yum yum as well, but I'm too full at the moment to eat them.
I only had a few chips and a piece of fish but I'm still full. Mr WD says that I am a disappointment and a wuss
I meant to ask....... What is yum yum.?
Some questions.
1) I thought you said you had a night nurse, if so you are not alone.
2) how do I apply for one?
3) can I get one on the NHS?
Not fussed on hair colour, so long as she has some.
Figure!!! Do I get any choices?

Good day to you all. It's grey, damp and drizzly, you know the sort that makes one really wet! 😲
I think we should bust this myth. ALL rain makes one really wet. It's a question of how quickly and whether or not one is daft enough to stand out in it. 🤣 Me? I'm not daft, I'll stay indoors.
That's that sorted then. Today #1 son has invited the family to lunch for Mrs P's birthday. I'm both looking forward to and dreading this. If the inevitable how are you question comes up???? I feel it will be a good day.
I should say things are going well. We are not sad, we laugh every day and do whatever. I've noticed Mrs P doing a few things she feels need sorting while she can. Like yesterday's request for a nice picture with her granddaughters while she still has her hair. That's understandable and I say nothing. Don't misunderstand me here. Things are good.
Now. I have the dishwasher to unload, washing to tumble dry, ironing etc. First though I need to do my stretching, physio and exercise bike. This rehab business takes a lot of effort.

When I got covid (5?) years ago we thought it was flu (my Doc told me she wasn't convinced long covid actually existed) ....... So when I felt better after several weeks I went back to socialising. It was many months later that the hospital decided it was actually long covid. So, no idea if, sadly, I passed it on to others (I know I passed it onto Sue).
