To not go to work today?

[fairynick]

To start with I don’t have an important job. I work in an outbound sales position in a call centre so won’t necessarily be missed.
Only came back yesterday from Christmas and have had a really shitty cold over the Christmas period. I’m in no way too ill to go to work but been up all night tossing and turning and blowing my nose.
Am I an awful person to pull a sickie? I just really can’t be bothered and feel rubbish? How often has anyone pulled a sickie? Last time I did was a couple of years ago when I was hungover

My workplace is a really nice environment and I do like going into work most days, I just have had an off day like everyone does from time to time!
I’ve never actually been in a job that DOES offer sick pay, I thought that was the norm! never done agency or temp work, I have a contract etc. I’m only entitled to statutory after a week or however how long it is.

If your not paid then you're just selfish.
If you get paid and you're not actually sick then youre a thief.
