I was having a mental breakdown earlier this week so I ended up calling in sick from work Wednesday and thursday in order to reset, then came into work Friday telling my boss I was starting to feel little better.

I know (or at least I’m pretty sure) mental health like a breakdown is covered under “sick day” according to my state law but didnt feel like explaining what I was going through to my boss so just told them I had the flu and described symptoms like coughing, throwing up, headaches, and fatigue.

Then I woke up this morning and actually feeling sick, with severe migrain, coughing fits, and vomiting (which by pure karma was the exact symptoms I fabricated to take the sick days earlier in the week). So now I gotta either go to work tomorrow and try to power through or tell my boss I was starting to feel better Friday but symptoms came back over the weekend

TL;DR told my boss I was sick to take time off from work. Became sick over the weekend with the exact same symptoms I faked
