but my body wants me to feel that way anyway.

This is one of those moments when I wonder who I should ask to leave early. The boss is in DC, the manager and director are either on vacation or working from home, and the one manager that is left has never even noticed me being sick before (including the other time she was the only staff member to ask for sick time).

I think I need application of hot water, advil, and a long nap/bath (preferably with the nap not being wet).
