A break from illness
When I get sick, I sort of look forward to it. It takes me back to the days when being sick meant I could be home from school, watch daytime TV on the couch, and be generally away from the odd social hell of public school. When you're working, it's a different dynamic because other people are depending on you, as opposed to the life of a student which is much more individual. However, you can still watch the same daytime TV.
After four days of being sick, I'm really looking forward to the break of going back to work. Isn't that weird?
