I try and work through it.  If I'm infectious, though ie with a cold, I'll try and stay away from people so I don't infect them (I *hate* catching a cold or flu through work colleagues!).  Even if I'm feeling like death, I'd probably come into work first, check email, do urgent things (if I have any) and then go home and die!

I have worked for people that, even if you are dead on your feet, they will not notice and act very surprised if you have to go home early.  I've aso worked for people that, if you so much as clear your throat in the cold and flu season, they will ask after your health and try and send you home.

I must admit, I much prefer to be sent home rather than phone in sick!  Guilt is a powerful motivator that can drag you out of bed when you're at death's door!
