You ever notice how taking a sick day is a paradox? You're too sick to go to work, but not sick enough to enjoy the day off. It's like the universe is playing a cruel joke on you. I called in sick last week, and my boss was surprisingly understanding. He said, "Take the day to rest and recover." Great, right? Wrong! Because the entire day, I felt guilty, like I was cheating on my job. I'd be lying in bed, wrapped up like a burrito of misery, and my boss's voice would echo in my head, "Are you really sick, or are you just playing hooky?"
And then there's the fear of being caught in the act of enjoying your sick day. I was at the grocery store buying soup, and I ran into a coworker. I had tissues sticking out of my pockets, and I probably looked like I just crawled out of a zombie apocalypse, but they gave me that skeptical look, like I was caught red-handed in the act of having a life outside the office.
So here's the sick day dilemma: too sick to work, not sick enough to Netflix guilt-free.

Can we talk about tissues for a moment? I don't know what kind of secret society these tissue manufacturers have going on, but those boxes are in on some conspiracy. You know what I'm talking about—the tissue box that's clearly marked "ultra-soft," promising a delicate caress for your ailing nose. But the moment you pull one out, it feels like you're using sandpaper. I've never had a tissue lie to me so convincingly. It's like the fabric softener for your nose has gone rogue.
And then there's the issue of the tissue box design. Why is it that every time I'm sick, I struggle to find the end of the tissue? I'm left there, nose dripping, in a desperate battle with the box, trying to extract a tissue without the entire contents exploding onto the floor. It's a tissue tug-of-war, and the tissue is winning.
I swear, tissue boxes are designed by sadistic engineers who find joy in our suffering. They're probably sitting in a room somewhere, watching hidden camera footage of us struggling with their diabolical creations, laughing maniacally.
So, if anyone has invented a tissue box that actually delivers on its promises, please let me know. I'm tired of being betrayed by my own tissues.

Ladies and gentlemen, have you noticed how people suddenly become experts at self-diagnosis when they're sick? It's like we all went to the University of Google Medical School. One guy has a runny nose, and suddenly he's convinced he's suffering from a rare tropical disease only found in obscure corners of the Amazon rainforest. I mean, I sneezed three times in a row the other day, and my friend goes, "Dude, you might have the bubonic plague." Really? I didn't know the Black Death made a comeback. I thought I just had allergies. But no, apparently, I'm patient zero for the 21st-century plague.
And don't get me started on the one-upper in the group—the person who, no matter what, has had a worse illness. You say you have a cold, and they counter with a tale of a near-death experience with a stomach flu that involved a dramatic reenactment of the "Exorcist" movie. It's like, "Okay, Linda, I just wanted sympathy, not a front-row seat to your medical horror story."
So, folks, welcome to the Sickness Olympics, where the gold medal goes to the person with the most dramatic interpretation of a common cold. I'm just waiting for the day someone claims they survived the common cold and earned a Purple Heart for it.

Who here has ever fallen into the black hole of WebMD when you're feeling a bit under the weather? It's like stepping into a horror movie. You start with a mild headache, and suddenly, you're convinced you have a rare brain-eating amoeba. I remember the last time I tried to diagnose myself online. I typed in my symptoms, and within seconds, I was convinced I had a tropical disease previously only documented in a scientific journal from 1892. I mean, who knew that a sore throat could be a sign of a pending zombie apocalypse?
And the worst part is that every symptom leads to the same conclusion—cancer. You could have a hangnail, and WebMD would be like, "Possible early stages of finger cancer. Call 911 immediately." It's like playing a game of medical roulette, and no matter where the wheel stops, you end up with a life-threatening condition.
I've decided that from now on, I'm only going to use WebMD for non-medical advice, like asking it who would win in a fight between a duck and a kangaroo. At least then, the stakes aren't quite as high.
