For two days I've gone over the same list of perfectly acceptable reasons for calling in sick to both jobs God only knows how many times, in my head, out loud, on paper, and it goes a little something like: I am sick, I am coughing things up, I am bleeding from my nose every time I think about it, I haven't had a voice in four days, I work with food and drinks, and I work with people. But it is consuming me, because I feel like I'm making up excuses, and I don't want anyone to think that I'm the type of person who does that. I've made too many good impressions this summer, and I don't need some laryngitis undermining that.
I am going to lay down for the next three days and then I am going to go back to being the best.
