When you're sick you should rest

True but not true

As an adult being sick is different

You still have to work

Unless pto can be used

    It's not fun working sick. Hope you're feeling alright

    This is unfortunately true. There have been plenty of times in which I've come to work when I probably should have been resting at home getting better.
