Some advice on being sick

So most people stay home when they get sick. If you live at the office; however, then staying home means being at work.

Obviously, when you are sick, you are miserable and everyone knows that misery loves company.

Here is some advice on how to get that company and to make your employees notice your generosity as well as your respect for their health since you're sick at work.

1. Go over to the employees desk.

2. Stand as close as possible

3. Cough - sound like you might 'cough up a lung', maybe gurgle some phlegm in your throat, do NOT cover your mouth during any of this. Aim for the top of their head since you are standing almost directly over them.

4. Apologize for being sick - afterall, it isn't your fault you live at the office and your illness makes you cough so violently that a mere hand could contain the germs so you don't even bother pretending that your hand could contain such powerful germs - and the sleeve sneeze is just another ploy that could not contain your super germs.

4. Repeat a few hours later.

Your employees will thank you, especially if this coincidences with a long weekend so that they can have plenty of time to stay home and rest up when their throats start to get sore and they catch your illness. In someways it is better than an annual bonus.
