I have mild COVID right now, not horrible but still feel like my brain is a deflated basketball, and I spent hours fighting with myself whether I feel "sick enough" to ne justified in calling out of my work from home job. i don't know when the boss in my head was put there but I hate it and it feels like every day i have to work to reclaim my autonomy and sense of humanity from the capitalist urge to tie my self worth to work
Call out sick when you're not sick occasionally too until it feels normal
