It has been a long time since I have had a cold but I have one now. Feeling tired, sore throat, stuffy nose, sleeping a lot. Still need to work though if I want to keep enough vacation time to go to Thailand later this year (assuming that the company starts allowing vacations longer than 1 week).
My company gives us a set allotment of paid time off, both vacations and being out sick count against that allotment. Whether I spend that time enjoying myself or being miserable in bed, they do not care.
