mono will lay you out for months, msbelle! If you want a week, I say go with flu. Or better yet, just a really bad cold that you can convince everyone is actually the flu.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's all just dreaming anyway. I need a Dr. note after 3 consecutive days and until E is in school I would need to drive him into camp which is just as far as work.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am tired. I think I need to have something serious enough to keep me out of work for about a week, but not serius enough to require hospitilization. probably should be something with a contagain risk. mono?

I am very much in the same boat. Last wednesday I was on vacation, and got to meet up with Buffistas and eat oysters and watch SYTYCD, and this week I have to go to work and I don't wanna

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Pinkeye only gets you one day off, IME. Although I was just saying yesterday that I'm kind of ready to be sick... It's been a long time! And when it actually happens, I will be miserable and complain-y, FTR.

Every time I fake a sick day, I get sick for real as soon as I come back to work.

Me too! It is really annoying. It is possibly because I fake sick, it is because I feel a little off, but am not really sick. It is probably the beginning of the sickness.

So men who are trying to explain why they explain things are being dismissed as part of the problem? How are they supposed to respond to these kinds of things then? Obediently say "Yes, dear, you are, of course, right"?

Some of them, sure. If your explaination is that "I have a really hard time not chiming in when I think I know about something"*, well, I have that problem too. If your explanation is that "this problem of mansplaining is not really real because I have very good reasons to explain, and anyway women do it too, and also men do it to men, and so I can't credit your own observations based on your lived experience" then yes, STFU.
*Even better if it's combined with "I don't think I do it more to women than men, but maybe going forward I'll try to see if there's a pattern there or not"

clearly then I really am getting sick and need to be home.
just compared the school calendar to the work holiday calendar and submitted for a couple of days in Nov and Dec to cover some of the gap.
I think I need to reach out to a couple of other parents and see if we can swap child-watching for some of the school closed days, otherwise I will run out of vacation.
