on being sick

Last week I took my first sick day(s) since high school and stayed home with some rotten something that kept me on the couch watching 30 Rock for four days straight. The experience has led me to a few realizations.

First, while I laid on the linoleum floor of an empty classroom for three hours on Monday waiting for someone to tell me it was ok to go home, I realized that no one will ever advocate for me here.

Second, when I came back to a mountain of work that is manageable but unpleasant, I realized that I don't want to do this forever. The trenches are not for me.

It's January, and it's my least favorite month of the year.
