I found it remarkable back when I started getting sick that I was disassociating myself from my words and actions. I was calling in sick and leaving goofy messages for my manager because, “Hell! “I’m sick! What do I care?”
I know that if I was faking it I would try to be as convincing as possible -but since I wasn’t really of sound mind or body, things didn’t really roll out as neatly as they could have.
Tactful? No.
Liberating? Yes. Most definitely, yes!
