I used to call out much more often than I do now. It was when I worked retail (that will make anyone want to call in sick more often).

Since I found a career path 15 years ago or so, I don't vall in much. Even when I got really sick with autoimmune I didn't miss work. Now I actually get sick only 2 or 3 times a year bad enough to call in.

I don't feel guilty about it at all.

Yeah, pretty much never take time off... Gets to a point a couple of times a few years ago, Libra boss just walks over and tells me to go home. Which I don't.
Then when he knows I'm on my way in next day and stuff he'll text me to get my ass back to bed lol
Which I don't.
Unless it's gastro or something really contagious - even though we don't share phones or shake hands I might call out... Maybe...
Probably not though... Haaaaah

Hahah there's nothing wrong with you!
At least it means we keep our work ethic reputation intact, there's nothin worse than a colleague who has sick leave every second week - we had a guy who took days off cos his sisters best friends cousins nephews pet ferret died... No kidding.
Like, okay. I'm good thanks. Lol

I share that feeling! I always feel really guilty even if I am legitimately dying and will mainly call in sick out of decency to my co-workers in order to not spread any illnesses. I think it does have a lot to do with fixed signs and the tendency to dislike breaking routine but for me personally I blame Saturn in Capricorn occupying my 6th house..
Yeah sixth house is a strange house.

I have Pluto, Venus and Uranus there... and I don't understand

any of it. :/
