I am lucky enough to work a mostly desk job with a supervisor who didn’t have an issue with me taking half of last week off to deal with being sick. Having an employer who is flexible around such things is one of the many reasons I love my job and push myself to be the absolute best I can at it.
Downside is that I go to work when I probably shouldn’t. I should have taken all of last week off, but instead took maybe two days off. I should have stayed home today but went to work anyway. This is where I am not so good with pacing.
I did make the choice to focus on things I could do from my desk so I could limit how much I was moving around, and to leave a bit early once I’d caught up with everything I missed last week. Despite that, I am completely and totally exhausted.
