We put together these sick quotes because of the time of year. The day after the Super Bowl is supposedly the day that more folks call in sick to work than any other day. With so much “illness” going around, I thought some of you might want to lean on some insights from authors and other notables on the topic. So if you’re feeling under the weather, get well soon – wink, wink.
