Sick days are kind of a complicated pleasure because as the term implies, in order to have a sick day, you need to be sick. However, the beauty about sick days is you can feel grateful for the simple truth that you are able to take the day off. Not everyone is able to do that. In fact, compared to the rest of the world, most people don’t have that luxury. Every day that I’ve woken up sick and decided to take the day off work, my
