Okay, so I should make up my own mind. But I would appreciate some opinions anyway ...

This week I have been 'bad' and not gone to work ... and have taken 2 sick days.

I have done some work at home (both to 'catch up' and because I got a call this afternoon asking me to do a couple of hours work on something this is quite an urgent project, from one of our contract researchers. I didn't mind at all cos I feel bad I have not been there this week).

But I have taken 2 sick days plus a bit of Friday ... I do semi have my flatmate's 'bug' but being honest it is because of the crap that is the reason I post on these forums ... heh.

Because of stupid company policy anything more than 2 days sick leave requires a medical certificate soooo ... I went to dr (hate hate hate doing so) and just said why I hadn't gone to work (he saw me a couple of weeks ago to get meds) and he was soooo nice (I was pathetic and blubbery).

I just said I didn't want my boss to know why and he was very reassuring about how it is none of their business as long as you have the certificate.

Anyway he said he would happily give me the rest of the week off but I DON'T have the time, I can't ... there is too much to do, for my colleagues too.

Oh damn this is blabber but - my dilemma:

I said ok well maybe you could write me the cert to go back to work Thursday (is Tuesday here now). And he was cool an stuff with that and said to call if I wanted any longer etc.

SO

I have another day I could take off. And as far as I understand work would have to be OK with that. My boss is really understanding but - I still feel like I am really letting everyone down by NOT going to work.

But I also don't wanna blubber and be a mess.

But if I don't go I feel like I am creating more work and stuff.

What do I DO?????
