One of my coworkers just retired and they said she’d never missed a day in 47 years and I had the same reaction. Like, sorry, unless she’s secretly immortal, no fucking way did she go her entire adult life without getting sick even once, so thanks for bringing all your germs in, I guess. Hope the single sentence in the employee newsletter most people don’t read was worth it.
I’ve taken several mental health days in my lifetime of work. I cannot imagine not having that as an option especially when you know you cannot mentally work.
I was with my wife for 12 years before I ever saw her get sick. She would go “I don’t feel good, I’m going to go lay down” and an hour later she’d be all better. She has a crazy good immune system. Granted 12 < 47.
