Quiet, please!
I went to work this afternoon for the following reasons:
1. I had a couple of meetings I wanted to get over with rather than reschedule.
2. Pride.
3. I needed to prove to myself that everyone believes I'm sick.
4. Boredom.
In fact, by the time I was done I felt more energetic but my throat felt much worse. I'm not going back tomorrow or Friday. (And everyone's hoping for snow on Friday anyway.)
Depending on who asked me why I was there I said,
1. Because I had a meeting and wanted to just try coming and seeing how well I did.
2. Because I couldn't stand hearing my inner voices anymore.
My kids were very happy to see me and gave me a get well card that made me want to cry.

As I get older, I realize I need to actually stay home when I'm sick or I'll get worse. I also find that if I feel OK at home but go into the office I end up feeling worse. Perhaps it's the canned air in my office building, or some psychosomatic thing, but I regret going in nonetheless.
