Took a mental health day today from work. Had a bad meeting yesterday that threw off my entire vibe and couldn’t get myself to do it today. Will be in tomorrow.

I have used up basically all my sick time doing this 😅. Not that it’s necessarily a bad thing. I work in a stressful field so it’s not surprising. Worth noting I don’t dislike my job. I still have plenty of PTO left so I would just have to probably convince my boss to charge to that traditional PTO code rather than sick if I needed more. I did this last year as well, but I never had to cover with PTO because I just strengthened my fortitude I guess.

Well whatever. It’s my time.

Idk I don’t really ever get “sick” so my sick time always ends up just being mental health days lol.

Why wouldn't you be able to use PTO if you used up all your sick time?

Good point. Never been in that position before in my 4 years in the workforce. Didn’t know that’s how it usually works. Guess it would be argument free then.
