when my stepmom retired from the job she had for 25 years she had aquired something like 500 unused sick days, she took those days off consecutively and retired when they were up.

i on the other hand work for a small family run business, i've been sick for a few days and took the last 2 off.....there is a big project waiting for me to return which needs to be done by friday, i also do not get paid sick days which suck......but if i'm actually sick i'm a mean bastard and don't want to put my coworkers through it......so i keep my ass at home.
