Last week I got seriously sick and I guess it was COVID again. I barely moved and couldn’t help coughing when I was awake, so I took some days off to make sure I could recover sooner.
Taking days off could bring me a little guilt before as I’d be worried about the work I left behind, but this time I realized that putting my health as the top priority is an act of responsibility not only to myself but also to others.
Congee and toast were my best friends during the sick week.
“How are you feeling?” One day I attempted to attend my team’s standup meeting, and an engineer asked me.
