In reply to Calling in sick GUILT, posted by Kerry on June 19, 2000, at 11:05:42
I used to face the guilt thing when I just couldn't go to work because of the way I felt. Been there, done that. Try not to beat yourself up about it though. I'm sure as a teacher you bust your butt everyday so a day off now and then ain't a crime. Just try to do something you enjoy and is relaxing. It's always better to face the next day refreshed and clear-headed. Have a great day off.
> I just couldn't make it in today. Couldn't face my clientele...9 and 10 year olds (teacher here). I was so unproductive this weekend--mostly stared at the walls and at this computer instead of attacking the stacks of grading I've been putting off and the lesson plans I need to write. My laundry and my apartment--ugh, you don't want to know. Called my HMO this morning to try to get in to talk to someone...no appts. until July. Am I really sick? In the head, yes--so it's okay to call in sick, right? I've become expert at ignoring this illness until it builds up and I fall apart. Just thought I'd purge my sins here.
