I've had this conversation with more than one girlfriend, typically talking about the conflict between having a migraine, taking medication to not hurt and the boss wants her at work pronto (45 minute commute by car).

(I'm sick -- and infectious -- and too nauseous to walk without meds) + (boss wants me at my station) is also an expression that has seen action from time to time.

Imagine going to work with a migraine.

Being surrounded by Americans online really makes me appreciate German employee protection laws.

Wait you don’t have to go to work sick in other countries?

Wait until you find out about European minimum vacation day laws.
