I was out sick most of last week with a sinus/ear infection, and while I'm taking antibiotics, I'm still sick and utterly exhausted.
I finished all my work by noon today, and am now running out the clock so I can go lay down. I used up all my PTO last week, so I can't take any more time off. I'm literally just doom-scrolling and trying to stay awake because I can't clock out until I've put in my eight hours or I'll lose pay.
Normally I'd use this “down time” for personal projects, but I'm so completely worn out from being sick, I can't do anything productive.
I feel like a toddler throwing a tantrum because I just wanna take a nap without having to worry it will cost part of my paycheck!
