I emailed my boss this morning at 6:30am to say I wouldn't be in until later because I had a sinus headache. When I got into the office, I emailed him to say I was back in and he responded saying that when he was my age headaches were caused by too much weekend fun and now they're caused by “allergy season” and then wrote “Sigh… I'll approve your time off.”
I really did have a horrible headache and was not in a place to drive my 40 minute commute to work. I've only taken sick time twice in the past 6 months. I'm honestly shocked and really embarrassed. Is this really inappropriate of him or am I overreacting? Also, my apologies if this isn't the right subreddit. I just need other perspectives.
