    Watch Star Trek in bed. Or more realistically listen to Star Trek as my eyes will be closed.

    I always lay in bed and play Minecraft when I’m sick. I didn’t grow up with Minecraft, and I really don’t understand the intricacies of it, but a few years ago I had pneumonia and Minecraft was the only game I could figure out through the brain fog. To this day I always pick it back up and start a new game whenever I’m under the weather. It’s just so peaceful and charming. It cheers me up right away.

    Just play low-stakes casual games. I swear I associate getting sick with playing Bejeweled 3 in bed now.

    Take the day off work. Knowing that I can just be under the bed covers and I don’t have to even hear about a work issue.

    Mint tea and thin mint Girl Scout cookies… I don’t really either at any other time, but if I’m under the weather, nothing sounds good to eat. I do my best to drink water and stay hydrated, but guzzling water all day when I do t feel good is a chore. So I’ll have tea and cookies instead.

    I’m so habituated that it’s frequently when I realize that I AM sick, because I’ll find myself looking in the cupboard for thin mints.

    Work. It takes my mind off being sick if possible. I also like working while sick because it means I can use my paid sick leave as extra holiday.

      Then you run the risk of getting other people sick that way. Unless you can’t afford it, and/or don’t have the sick time, you should never go to work sick unless you work alone. If you do anyway, you’re not being smart, just irresponsible.

          If that is the case, then yeah you’re totally cool. Though I would argue that it did not seem, all that obvious judging from your comment text.

          There are a lot of assholes out there after all.
