You did the right thing taking a week. You know about the one with plans, but there's probably someone's grandma or cancer kid you're helping too.
Yeah my coworker is going to be seeing at least 2 vulnerable people. I'm sure there could be more out there as well.
Just feels a bit odd and simultaneously wasteful using an extra sick day (we have a limited amount) when I am not even sick. And look, this is totally stupid, but I also don't want people to think I'm a wimp that needs more time to recover than I actually do. Or I don't want people to think that I'm lying and using sick days for no reason.
I know those last two are kind of nonsensical, but I can't help how my brain works lol!! I'm getting cabin fever in here!
