When to go back to work?

If you have a cold and you feel not-100%-rotten but not-100%-healthy, when do you decide it's time to go back to work?

I'd been thinking that as soon as I don't have a fever any more, it's reasonable to go back. 99.6 this morning, so by that standard I'm still home.

Rob saw his doctor this morning & randomly asked about "the cold with a lot of coughing" that's going around. The doctor said "Yeah, I've had that for two months."

Current Mood: sick

Yep, in the morning. My temp doesn't jump much as the day gets going -- well, when I'm healthy, anyway. I have no idea what the pattern is now that I'm sick. (Took temp again a couple hours ago & it was the same as this morn.)

Oddly, I don't always get the symptoms people associate with fever, even when my fever is high. When I hit 103.8 a couple of years ago all I felt was tired. Other times I get the whole set of stuff: aches, lightheadedness, and feeling too hot or too cold. I just never know. (This time: tired. Lots of tired.)
