Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have to take it as a sick day. I pointed out I'd been working since six, and I had stuff I wanted to take care of before tomorrow, and he said, okay, half day. Hmmph.

I do want to work! I just don't want to work for free. So the laptop stays open another fifteen minutes, and then it's off and I'm going to try dozing again.

Congrats, Sparky! Crying might not feel all strong and good, but it's effective in putting across the method, so it's all good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think everyone should get to curl up with their towel and nap for the afternoon.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, bah on him, ita. If the work is getting done, what's the issue? You'd think he'd rather have you on the job than just out sick for those days. You'd also think he'd understand those are his options. I mean, I'm sure he'd be happier to have a completely healthy employee there all bright eyed all the time, but so would you prefer that. It's not like you're abusing the system. Argh. I hate that stuff.

Good for you, Sparky. So hard, but I'm glad you did it.

I would totally curl up with my towel and nap if I could.

Oh! I left toast in the toaster. Hmph. I am not having the most organized of days.

Had anybody else heard about this? [link]

That's a hell of a cast.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

No napping here, but I should get to eat outside and enjoy my break there.

ita, sorry to hear the boss is being problematic, but you deserve a nap or two.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ita, was your boss suggesting you actually need another day off work? That sounds like it could be nice/supportive.

I would like to nap! Outside, where it is nice. Instead I am here.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Napping would be nice.

Maybe boss's son does have anxiety. That makes me feel a little better. He drives me crazy (and has for years) because he is constantly calling his mom about things and interrupting her-- because if she doesn't answer he just keeps calling, and then calls me.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Had anybody else heard about this?

That would be an amazing show.
