WHY do I feel guilty about calling in sick to work today (laid off on May 1st)?

[wartrace]

I am feigning a "stomach problem" today in order to stay home with my dogs & cats. It is storming out right now quite fiercely & I just don't want to shove the dogs out in the pouring rain & lightning. I do not have anything to do at work today, was just going in to put in the hours. I am being laid off on May 1st permanently (good thing for me) and I am allowed seven sick days a year. I've been there eighteen years and can count the sick days I've taken on one hand so damn it, I am going to stay home today.

1. DO IT!!!

2. conditioned to feel guilty, and I have no doubt over the years

you went to work many times when you really were sick. It evens out. Take Friday, too.

Enjoy yourself.

3. Enjoy your day off guilt-free!

And maybe use some of those other sick days coming to you before May 1st.
