Need a holiday today? Have I got one for you! Today is Stay At Home Because You’re Well Day. I’ve read that one in four employers believe their employees occasionally call in sick when they really aren’t. I’m shocked the number is that low. It’s no fun to stay home when you’re actually sick. Who wants to spend the day coughing and sniffling? On the other hand, if you take a “mental health day” you could catch up on errands that otherwise might not get done. You could take down Thanksgiving (or Halloween) decorations and put up a Christmas tree. Do all your Christmas shopping on a weekday, while the stores are relatively hassle free. Treat yourself to a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream. Or a new pair of shoes. You’ll go back to work tomorrow with a fresh outlook on life. And who knows? Maybe lowering your stress level now will mean you take fewer actual sick days later.
