Are you one of those people for whom sick leave is just one more employee benefit to be fully maximized? Sure, you could go in and work, but that might mean missing a crucial live game during March Madness.
Then again, you do have that car payment that you need to make later this month and your boss and co-workers are counting on you to help them hit the target that will give everyone a bonus this month. What should you do?
Don't wonder any more! Garth Sundem, the author of Geek Logik
In the results above, if your "Hooky" factor is greater than 1, you should call in sick. Of course, the real reason we provide this output is so you can play with the input data to find your personal "hooky" frontier - the combination of factors that would result in you opting to stay home!
Here's what Garth had to say about the math behind this tool:
The terms that drive this equation are the fun you could have at home compared to the fun you could have at your job, minus your chance of getting fired. If it's not going to be more fun at home and you might get fired for skipping work, why play hooky?

Now, whether or not you should call a doctor, well, that's a different question....
