Off 'sick' today. I've earned it damnit.
I should have done the same. I’m standing on the corner of Struggle Street and the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
I wanted to today as well but the work would only pile up for me the next day which is even a busier day.
I really hate that I feel I can't be off sick because of that.
That's the reason I've taken like 5 sick days in 9 years and am drowning in excess annual leave.
Every day off I take results in about 1.2 days of extra work I need to catch up on when I get back 🫤
At least I'm very often solo in the office so my presenteeism doesn't get others sick.
Yeah, this year the way things have fallen, my monday and tuesdays are loaded and if I'm not there the work just piles up.
The person I work with, while our roles differs, just leaves the massive backlog for me to maintain and this places so much pressure on me if I take the day off when I have a scheduled workload.
At home with allergies. Partial fib.
I don't think I've suffered from hayfever this late in the season. Generally a spring thing and gone by Dec/Jan....It's friggin March and I'm still dealing with it
Same! I haven't sneezed so much this time of year
It’s the bloody smoke right now. Have taped all the doors etc up but my eyes hurt and am a sneeze monster. I could go in, but the walk to the bus would be vile.
That's what those sick days are for!
love a soul day
