Wednesday play sick?

[Kittyara207]

Next Wednesday if I call out I could have alone time.  A day all by myself.  All I have to do is call out.   It feels wrong on so many levels.  But I haven't had a day alone in 6 months.   But I'd feel bad about not going in to work.

You need alone time too I would do it you deserve it

It's my day to be boss.  I'd feel guilty at the same time.  Adult decisions are no fun!!  But not going in to work keeps me from having to adult.  If I don't do it Wednesday I might not be able to for a 2 or more months.  But calling out sick while not sick is lying.  And I hate lying.  Confused.

I still say do it the place can run one day without you

I guess it couldn't hurt three other people will be there.   But lying I can't do.   Maybe just call saying I have errands?   And actually do some?   So it's not lying.

I agree with not lying, so tell the truth. Say " I'm not really feeling up to coming in today". No lie there.

Mental health days are necessary, and hopefully your higher ups will understand that. Even better if you give them a heads up imo. Obviously your relationship with your superiors has an impact but honesty is the best policy right?

My boss and I get along real well.  Also his boss and I.  It's just I am acting boss Mon thru Wed the next 3 weeks as well. So I have to answer to me as well.   But I will inform my boss today.  They don't need to to stay alive.  They are all grown ups.

Honesty is always best.  Lying is not acceptable and can make you question yourself and little ones make it easier for big ones.  And eventually makes it harder to remember what you said and to whom.  Took much work for me I'd rather spend my time doing fun things.

was going to say this too. mental health days r not lying just tell them that u need a day of for mental health reasons u need a day to recuperate regroup and fresh yourself up so that u come back to work more focused and relaxed.

I hope you had a good day off!

[Kittyara207]

One of the most relaxing days ever.  No big plans just being me.   The house to myself for a few hours.  Perfect for me.  My dog and I.  But still no obligations no being what others need or want.  Been atleast 6 months since my last me day.

 

Thank you for checking in with me.
