>.< I'm usually that person. I suffer from allergies so I often will have a cough. It sucks when you know you're being obnoxious but can't do anything about it.

@Selaphi: Yeah if your sick and vacation hours are separate there's really no reason not to take off when you're ill. I know deadlines are a thing but you're just getting everyone else sick too.

I'm fortunate that I can work from home when I'm sick now.

@Selaphi: At my last job it was super bad. We had to PLEAD with people to stay home when they were sick. To be fair though, we didn't get a lot of paid time off, and what we did was shared between sick and vacation and people wanted to keep their vacation because that was a really stressful work environment. We passed strep around like candy. =( I got it twice in a row once.

@Selaphi: They are my precious baby boys

@Selaphi: Sometimes Mallow in particular forgets he is a cat and turns into an actual cloud.

@Selaphi: So did he.

Ahahaha... sometimes even with the very effective drops like ricola or halls, I still cough. ._. But at least I stay home when I'm that sick.

I tend to buy different ones for sore throat than for cough. I also try to get sugar free because sometimes I need them to sleep through the night and nothing is worse than sugarmouth in the morning. (⋟﹏⋞)

Hmm I'll have to see if they have them at one of the Asian supermarkets here.
