I tested positive for COVID-19 this past Monday. I work in education. Because of this I have to quarantine for 5 days. I'm finally starting to feel better, but the honest to god worst part of this is how I feel guilty for missing work. I work in public education, so I know my role is crucial for my students, but man alive does it suck to feel this way for missing so many days of school. I should focus on feeling better, not about how my colleagues are having to step up to fill the void my absence creates. I hate that it comes to this, and yet here I am, sitting at home stressed and frustrated that this all happened.
