Have accumulated 34.5 sick days in 9 years, basically figure time will catch up to me and will need them some day. Virus for 3 sick days two weeks ago and cold for 2 sick days this week. New to being on an Agile team, so just wonderful for my output this sprint.
Been a long times since sick, so let’s compare sick days now versus the old days. Times have changed.
Old days called in to the central reporting, then have them forward me to a boss’s extension to leave a message when someone answered. Then go back to sleep and I would sleep a lot. If woke up had the boredom of daytime TV as a distraction. MTV helped better when it came along. BTW usually slept a lot.
This year pull out my laptop and send calendar notice to manager & team am out. Was getting worse on Wednesday, so they already knew. Then log in and put in sick hours for day. My body still wants to sleep.
During the virus, spent 2 days 4 hours each attending training online, then finished 3rd day training at work. Don’t forget answering emails and small tasks. For this cold finished updating a large document that was due. So completed more than half days while out, assuming wasn’t falling asleep in my chair or bed.
The good news is while trapped at home, the entertainment is much better. Prefer reading on the internet, and have sports or movies to watch.
