Sick

I had to call out of work sick today, I have a fever, cough, cold symptoms. One of my coworkers texted to check up on me and I told her I'm ok, she said "just making sure it's not a bad flare up" which I know she meant well by. My response was no, just regular sick with a fever. I haven't started a...
