@duglop haha I just remember once we had one of those hooky personality type people at work one time and she’s like, “those of you with x type are currently googling to verify what I’m saying rn”.

Nurses are the best!! This was a bad earthquake and they ran to the babies not out for their lives.
@duglop I think needing recovery and rest is just as important a health reason to call out of work as any illness.
Absolutely! You nailed it! Self care is vital to one's health and well-being!
@Spagesgallo1 @duglop We've been trained to think we have no value and are slackers if we're not producing.
We've been taught rest is a luxury, and that luxuries are decadence.
We need sleep, rest, happiness, well-being. We should not be made to feel like a slacker for needing the necessities of life.
I couldn't agree with you more! You nailed every point succinctly! For me personally, it took me decades to finally start taking care of myself and taking mental health days as needed! When I was working, I always gave 110% ! Rarely ever took a lunch break. As I got older, I got wiser. I took those mental health days, sometimes 2 in a row. If we don't take care of ourselves, our bosses sure as hell won't. They are only concerned with producing at any expense.
@Spagesgallo1 @duglop Yes, yes, yes!
Yes I am the thing that goes bump in the night!
PS: I'm a Dem/Lib - deal with it!
I'm a VET - respect that!
