Working from home without the work
Sick days are for sickness. Let me tell you how my dictionary defines sick.
1. physically or mentally unwell. Check
2. likely to vomit not unchecked
3. distressed or disgusted. I would've been had I done #2.
4. bored with something through having already had or done too much of it. Check. Check. Check please.
5. finding amusement in misfortune or in morbid subjects. America's funniest home videos was good for a while...

I'd say I qualify. Good, now if I can just get over the guilt. The hacking cough helps.
