Yes.
When I was skipping school, not in the slightest. Imagine my surprise, many years later (I'm 37 now) when my Mum told me that she always knew when I was faking it but figured I had my reasons and let me get away with it. Thanks mum =D
At work? Sometimes I suppose. But I never took a day off because I just didn't feel like it, just when I didn't feel right but didn't necessarily have a symptom that I could describe.

hnnnnn....yea a few times back when I was still catering salad and ranch dressing to overweight southern Georgians with a slew of incredibly irritating managers at just slightly over minimum wage.
Hell I went through having five or so trainees under me before I finally decided to quit that job, which speaks loads about how enjoyable of a job it is...

Yeah, and I have felt a wee bit guilty sometimes and not at all some other times. I just deeply, intensly deteste my job. I really have to leave this mess behind me and get back to school.
Man you must loooooove your job. What do you do?PeePantz said:
Of course I have. I just needed a day to myself to watch animu.
And I never felt the least bit guilty over it.

I do, I feel I have one of the best jobs in the world. I bartend at a busy bar and it's like going out every time I work. With long hours and a smallish staff, I believe that calling out would be a let down to everyone else. A couple other employees and myself serve as examples and other co-workers think twice about calling out. Makes for a good work environment.Cowabungaa said:
Yes, I have called in sick when I really wasn't sick. And no, I didn't feel guilty. I did that several times after I was stuck as the only cart pusher on the lot of a super center/store (a very big, very busy lot) for five to six hours with almost no help from inside (and having to push back breaks and lunch). So my work owed me an extra day off.
Yes, I called in sick at a previous job while I just didn't feel like working.
About 90 minutes later there was someone from a job inspection agency at my door to check if I was really ill, and after a little talk he sent me to a docter who told me to stay home for a month and he would write my boss a note that he shouldn't contact me for at least 2 weeks to give me time to find some mental stability.
No, I didn't feel guilty, and after that month at home, I managed to work there for 6 more weeks before I resigned and found a much nicer place to work.

I did, and didn't feel guilty.
However, I don't want to miss school because if I do it's not computer or video games for the day.
