I won’t tell you
not to work when you’re ill.
You SHOULDN’T work
when you’re ill.
You should rest and recover
and not f*ck with your health.
But the brutal truth
is
many of us
are stubborn a$$es
and we WILL work
when we’re ill.
Ensure that work
doesn’t involve
other people.
Draft messages
but don’t send them.
Look at contracts
but don’t sign them.
Try not to talk to people.
Because you might be
out of your mind
with fever
and
decisions made while ill
could bite you in the a$$.
Isolate yourself
physically
AND
communication-wise.
Sick days
are no contact days.
