No, not ALL male environment, and that's actually the problem. As soon as a girl sets foot inside the door (on some occasions even before), you can count on me getting a crush on her...

It's okay to have a crush on someone you work with... as long as they don't catch you looking in their window when they're taking a shower.

A crush would leave a bad stain. Too bad it wasn't a 7-Up.

Getting emotionally attached to anything (animate/inanimate) is a foolhardy task.

Getting a crush may not be in your control, but acting on it is.

So this being my first job I don't know all of the protocol and how to react to different circumstances.
So I caught a cold that is about moderate in severity, being that it's not a mild cold, but not bad enough to visit a doctor. Now I am in the office sneezing, coughing and making noises every few minutes while working slower than usual, since my head hurts a lot. I have taken pills to help me get through this but can only take 2 on every 4 hours. I am going to suck it up and work today, since it's Friday and will probably be better till Monday.
My question is: When is it better to stay at home if you are sick? How do you deal with colds and work ?

Go and cough all over your boss in a confined space.
He will explain the office etiquette on sickness at this point (it varies from company to company).
Personally, I take paracetamol (lowers your temperature and helps with the aches) and stay home working - but I'm aware that I don't produce my best stuff then, so I try to avoid anything too complex.
Oh, and I moan about being sick here in the hopes of getting sympathy. Don't get any! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Haha, well my boss is sick at home 
I also take paracetamol, can't work from home though. The information I work with is classified.
So it's more of a binary choice for me at the moment.
As for the moaning today I didn't have to, my girlfriend said I was sweating too much at night so in the morning she made me tea and breakfast.

That gets her brownie points. That could get expensive for you around the 14th...

Yes it may, but it being a Saturday and all we will definetly go somewhere as we do when we can as she is still in college and has a lot of work sometimes. So this time the activities will be more oriented towards her liking and of course a gift. It's a good thing that we get paid on the 15th, or in this case it will be the 13th

Sounds like a keeper! Whenever I'm ill my wife takes more of the attitude that I should man-up and stop complaining. Without tea and breakfast.

Yes I agree she is a keeper, but as the years go on our relationship is changing so we will see where it takes us. Now it's five years and a half - without babies or marriage, which is, as people tell me, when the dynamic of the relationship changes
|
|
|
|

On the account of my personal experience - 8 years, living together since 4 years and no marriage or children - it changes nothing really. The dynamic is more and more relaxed, in the sense that we are each day safer that we'll be there the next day, month or year. No rushing, no need to prove myself/herself worthy every day... just plain enjoying.
On another topic, she sure looks like a keeper, best whishes

Thank you for your experience and wishes.

If you feel ill I don't think you should go to work. You just make everyone else ill then and don't achieve much yourself.
Exception - If you don't get paid when you don't turn up.

Well I am currently working at about 70% of my usual self, so it's not that bad. I will do some work today, just not that much as usual. Yes I agree about not wanting to infect others - but I'm not sure about the protocol as I never took a sick day before. I had a day off yesterday but it counted as paid holiday not sick leave.
I also wouldn't get a doctor's note, so that is why I don't know what counts as being sick enough to not have to go to work
