My dad used to say I couldn’t miss school unless my head was falling off. I got a certificate when I graduated high school for never having missed a day.
Is your dad a doctor?
No, he used to run a trading desk which I think influenced his view.
Hence my question.
Serious question: What is your ability now to give yourself permission to take time off when sick, allowing yourself self-care, etc?
NO, IT’S CAKE!!!
Wow, what did he trade???
I think Doc Schmidt did a similar video too!
I’m MM/DD/YYYY (go America!)
Oh I don’t take sick days, I mean it helps because I’m remote now but I was definitely the person that would be coming to work no matter what. Nowadays I definitely work through any illness with the exception of a migraine.
Post-COVID in the office I’d probably WFH if I felt ill.
Currency swaps for most of it
I kind of like YYYYMMDD, especially for filenames
So weird to me! I’ve been taking mental health days since before we had a word for it.
Yeah I think it’s the more mature thing to do honestly. By the time I’d concluded I needed a mental health day it’d probably be lunch and I’d just say oh well 
although I’m generally a pretty low stress person
Thank you! America really needs to sort this one out…
