Does this make me a slacker?? :-)

I just called in "I'm not coming in" at work!  OMG - I haven't done that in years!!
I have a new supervisor; I hope she doesn't think I'm a flake - "Hello Nancy, this is Dorie - I wanted to let you know I'm not going to come in today"  When she asked me if I was okay I said "Oh yes, I'm fine - don't worry"  lol  
We're not that busy, so they can do without me - so I don't feel too guilty.

I just woke up this morning and got going doing the things I need to do, and next thing I know it's 10:15am and I have to be at work in an hour - and I'm not even close to being where I want to be getting ready for tomorrow.  I get home at 9:30pm - and Marcel will be here at 9:30am - just not enough time.

Now I can relax and (even though I may feel a teeny tiny bit guilty) I can get all the things done I intended to - then have a good night sleep.

Only down side is I just used up 9 hours of my personal time (which is about 30%  of the time I am given for the whole year....yikes)
There's no question in my mind it's worth it (or I wouldn't have done it)

Living life is always the main priority.

You got to have that work/life balance to be happy. Your doing it right.

Good for you! And you didn't even lie and say you were sick. Wow.

Now stay offline and get to work doing what you need to do. Though I'm sure you don't need to do as much as you think you do. :)

It's nice to have a personal day off! I think most people pretend to be sick to get an unscheduled day off.

It's just that it becomes a slippery slope; will you go into tomorrow or maybe just one more day!

I think you have your priorities right :P

Have a wonderful day!
