    I’ve had this conversation with more than one girlfriend, typically talking about the conflict between having a migraine, taking medication to not hurt and the boss wants her at work pronto (45 minute commute by car).

    (I’m sick – and infectious – and too nauseous to walk without meds) + (boss wants me at my station) is also an expression that has seen action from time to time.

      Imagine going to work with a migraine.

      Being surrounded by Americans online really makes me appreciate German employee protection laws.
