I'm sick

Hey good morning ladies! It's been a while for me. Anyway I was hoping to get an opinion from some of you re: my current icky situation. I started feeling sick yesterday. I feel hot, runny nose, and a sore throat. I am still able to function but I do feel a bit more weak then usual. I didn't have a fever last night, at least I don't think I did but I didn't have a way to check it at the time. I am about to start a 10hr shift. I was wondering, should I just stick it out? or should I let my boss know and go home and try to rest this off? I've never went home early before and would feel like a giant boob leaving my co workers, but then again I don't want to push myself too hard. What do you think? Thanks girls :

    I don't think it should be a big deal to go home if you are feeling sick. Listen to your body and rest.

    Well, while I'd normally say go rest, I also have been dealing with whatever you're describing for about 2 weeks now. Just saying that one day of rest might not get you back to feeling better.

    You are pregnant and under the weather, I would kick your feet up and relax and stay hydrated. Working 10hrs isn't going to make you feel better.

    I actually had what I thought was just a cold and ended up going in when it kept gettin worse. It was actually strep so I would go in and get checked out if you continue to get worse. Better safe then sorry!

    Personally, I don't stay home or go home early unless I am throwing up or it is coming out the other end. ;) However, I don't think it is wrong of you to ask to go home early especially if you feel like you need the rest.
