it's not just a responsibility to myself.
it's also being responsible to the kids, and my colleagues.
i thought i could still work with minor illness. and i still think i could.
but other parents might not think the same.
they'll be worried their child could get infected too.
they'll think it's me who passed the virus to their child even though it could be mutually exclusive events.
and they'll hold me responsible for working even though i was down with cold.
to me, if i'm still useful to the team and the kids, then i'll come in to work. and i know my body best. i know my limitations. and i don't think a minor sore throat and runny nose will affect much of my work.
i didn't consider the fact that my being sick could potentially infect others too. which, i admit, is unfair to the kids and my colleagues.
still...i'm not that kind of person to take leave for flu. i'll just take more precautions to prevent my kids or colleagues from falling sick.
and i'll just make sure that i won't have flu in the future.
