OK, I admit, it's not really National - more of a local initiative! I have the lurgy - sniffle, cough, sore throat and strange temperature fluctuations. I toyed with the idea of struggling into work, but then thought nope - sickness management policy is there to discourage you from taking days off when you're well, not when you actually are sick. The idea of sitting on the train getting evils from closely-packed fellow commuters every time I cough or sneeze, followed by a whole day at w*rk, making mistakes all over the place and not being able to have a sleep (last night I had one of those nights where you FEEL like you've not slept at all, although you're sure that can't be right), plus, as this title suggests, the likelihood of infecting my co-workers, seemed like a rather bad idea.
As it happens, I've been serving a useful purpose as my husband's message centre, as he left his personal mobile at home this morning. My telephone voice is a bit suspect though ...
