So yesterday I started feeling nauseous, and then around dinner time started getting soreness and chills. Was going to tough it out and go to work anyway because I don’t want to deal with “you need to get a covid test” (never have, don’t plan to) “or stay out of the office for 10 days per state rules” (I have stuff to do there next week).

After a shower got a wave of hot and nausea and Decided today would be miserable in the office and that id call in. What would you tell your boss in this situation? I already had food poisoning this summer so don’t want to lie about that. Was going to go with lack of sleep but was wondering if you guys had anything better?
