Not crying, just using my option days for, well, my option of not showing up when I don’t want to, whether it’s because it’s hot or I’m just “not feeling it”
I haven’t taken a “dead day” in at least 5 years that I can recall.
Before I had kids I used my sick days for when it was perfect weather to enjoy doing stuff outside like golf. I wasn't wasting a day to hide inside from the excessive heat or elements.
