If you're sick, take the sick day, Perkins.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Er, bullshit. Not that it isn't in the policy, but if you're sick, stay home.

Um, yeah. Vacation days, okay, but then why not just make those kick in at six months or whatever if it's something you're that worried about. Sick days? Whatev. What are you, six? Your own judgment as to what's best can't be relied upon? If they think their employees are just chomping at the bit to start using their sick time to goof off, they've got bigger problems. If they don't, then why would they treat genuinely sick people like that and make them struggle in to infect everyone else?
Whoa. Rantypants this morning, apparently.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm with them -- if you're sick (and you are) take the sick day.

or, as an alternative, go in and throw up on either your boss or the head of HR.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Three months is a pretty common rule for allowing a sick day -- I'd say nearly three is perfectly reasonable if its at your discretion.

BAH. I thought I had put together a decent if snacky lunch, only to find that the carrots I left in the fridge are now frozen and the peanuts I bought are honey roasted. Hmph. There's no way the carrots will thaw in an edible manner, is there?

I think 3 months may be a common rule for allowing paid time off for being sick, but if you are sick, stay home anyway. If their rules say you'll get paid, you should get paid.
Of course, this is from a woman who's been fighting a migraine for 4 consecutive days, so I'm a little biased.
