Topic	Poll: should I take a personal day from work tomorrow?
SableWolfAngel 02/13/22 6:51:57 PM #8:	AngelicRadiance posted... If you feel like you need the day you should take the day off. Though I got fired for taking off too many days so what do I know? I'm sorry to hear that! That doesn't seem fair... within reason. What happened? a-c-a-b posted... Without even reading all that, yes, yes you should. Personal days are meant to be used however you want. The thing is they're sick days, not personal days. A personal day would be using a vacation day, but I guess it's not made explicit. As long as I use only one, I don't need to provide proof. If I did it three days in a row, then I would need a doctor's note. But I digress... It is at my discretion and my boss is super lenient when it comes to this so it's not like she'd care all that much. SiO4 posted... With the O/T you put into typing all that up, yes, you probably could use a rest. Is it that obvious? Some of it is just backstory, but yes, a lot of it is my grievances. I guess I wanted to provide as much context as I could and not just "I'm stressed. Should I play hookey?" because that wouldn't have captured the whole situation. I'm normally not this stressed at work and really enjoy my job... when it's balanced. When we had a full team, it was actually quite pleasant and rewarding. Now it's just an endless slog that's draining the life out of me. Guerrilla Soldier posted... i didn't even read it and i said yes because fuck work. if you ever think you need a day off, just take the day off and stop making excuses. we're all human. if they don't understand, find some place to work that does. Sometimes I think about it and come to the conclusion that I only have this one life to live. I'd rather spend it doing the things I enjoy with the people I love than killing myself working. Once I die, nothing I ever did will matter so it's all inconsequential in the end. Besides, I can't be doing worse than the people who have quit or walked out or the sick guy. I even agree to cover his work if they think he's not gonna come in on a morning he opens so I do plenty to support the team where I can, but they need to understand the cost of sapping my energy like that. I can't burn my candle of life so quickly all the time lest I snuff myself out. If they want me at my best, they need to let me rest. --- http://www.backloggery.com/SableWolfAngel http://i.imgur.com/At3Hcq5.png \| http://i.imgur.com/F1pWSAm.jpg <cite>SableWolfAngel posted [p:962622756] in Poll: shou...
