Sick leave
November 13th, 2007
I am completely unable to enjoy any time that I take off as sick leave.
Perhaps enjoy is the wrong word. You’re not supposed to be enjoying yourself; maybe ‘relax’ would be better. I am completely unable to relax when I’m off ill.
I spend my time sat at my computer, thinking that I should be completing those user profiles, or that proposal, but actually checking out the gadgets sites. Or surfing wikipedia.
Guilt is the inevitable consequence. Guilt that I should be getting on with something, or that I’m not quite ill enough to be at home.
A nap is the only way out, but even then, the price is a rubbish night’s sleep.
