Someone please, please, please give me terrible patient Claire. I'm home sick with a cold (plus migraine, plus hives, plus, plus, plus) and yesterday I had the following conversation with my boss.
Him: You don't look great. Are you still running a fever? (Because I had called in earlier in the week with a temp of 102.) Me: Who knows? I'm on so many pain killers for the body aches that I can't exactly tell. Him: Oh. I'm so glad you're here then. (implied sarcasm, but I did stay for my shift)
Just, give me a Claire who knows better, she really does, but she's only mostly incapacitated, so she goes into work anyway.
BONUS: If Matt is the one telling her, "Ehh...this is probably not a great idea." Because Matt is terrible at recognizing great ideas when it comes to personal health and safety.
