What a nice boss. More bosses should be so compassionate. It's not like you
were contagious and about to infect everyone.

I was only sent home once in all the I worked. Hell, I remember once when I was
working part time in a department store feeling something awful coming on,
which turned out to be food poisoning from the meal I ate in the store
restaurant. They wouldn't let me leave early.

One day during the summer before I retired, I started feeling dizzy. I had
fallen in the shower that morning, which was probably because I had a short
dizzy spell. It got so bad that I went home. As soon as I got home I was fine,
so I went to work the next morning and we had a meeting at the office. We all
stopped for a coffee on the way to the office and while walking across the
parking lot I had another spell and was stumbling around like a drunk, but I
got over it. When I got to the office the boss asked me how I was doing and I
said "Fine" and while we were talking I suddenly ran down to the washroom and
threw up. He sent me home.
