How I did it: I woke up and felt like crud. So, I opened up the laptop and e-mailed the team, telling them how I felt. I also told them that I would not be visiting the office or occupying my chair for the day. I also told them that they could e-mail or IM me, and maybe I'd reply. Or, maybe not. I then went back to sleep. Then I woke up and cleared out a lot of e-mail. And, played some online poker for 15 minutes. But, that gave me a headache, so I went back to sleep. Now I'm writing this. Time for another nap, or at this point (6:13pm), I'll just go to sleep. Good night.
Lessons & tips: Make the decision early, and act on it.

funny how my company gives me more sick days than vacation days each year. Use them well, and often, on those days you just don’t feel right…

Yeah, my main problem is that I’m the CEO, so, officially, I’m the man that I’m fighting against! Alas, it made for a great day, very productive, and much more well-rested.
Happy Monday,
Dave
