I really need to go to work on monday, it's a big day for me, as I think there's a good chance I'll be getting a promotion. Problem is that I have the flu and I feel like total shit. Extreme tiredness (i need to sleep every 4 or 5 hrs), body aches, fever (although seems to be going slightly, and I get dizzy spells...not to mention a nasty cough. It seems I also can't sleep more than an hour at a time before i wake up.

Any chance I'll be better by monday?

Not unless it's the stomach/24 hour flu...which, since you're not vomiting, doesn't sound like it is.

Possibly, depends on the strain. I'd hope you'd be feeling better by Monday. Whether you'll feel good/normal is another story.

No chance all. Might as well start looking for a new job.

Guess I'll just have to sleep my way to the top then.
since you're having trouble sleeping, you might have to nap your way to the top instead.

Flu lasts a week. It's doubtful you'll be better by Mon. Also, do your co-workers a favor and don't go in and get them sick too.

Well, my ass is a ring of fire from the shits I've picked up today, i have a blocked nose, i feel like I haven't slept in a week, and even in my very infrequent dreams I dream about being sick. Oh, and I have a badass cough that wont let up. And I clogged the toilet from the extreme assault I put upon it.

Still think I can make it....

You can go to work if you can go to work. The last time I had the flu I did not and could not go anywhere for four or five days.

Don't go to work - you'd make everyone else sick too. Go to the doctor, and that gives you a solid explanation for why you can't be at work.
