Boring sick person here, don't mind me
I always feel like jerk taking time off work because of a bad headache. It seems like such a flimsy excuse, entirely unprovable, and the sort of thing that people are just supposed to work through. I left a couple of hours early today, but I will go back tomorrow even though I can tell this one's going to last a while and I will probably be useless for at least another day. The good news is that we are unexpectedly getting our new front door installed tomorrow morning, so I can work from home for a while until that's finished. And then we'll have a new, non-ugly, much better insulated front door. So it's not all bad.

So you'd feel better if you went in to work and were unproductive and bad-tempered around your colleagues?
Don't feel bad. Headaches can sometimes be genuinely debilitating, and trying to "work through" them can only make it worse.
Hope you feel better soon.

I know I shouldn't feel bad about it, but I still do.

Feeling better?
