Yeah, I get 14 days sick leave for every 12 months worked. Pretty sure I've used up more than that already - as I did a big medication switcheroo earlier this year.

I think a part of me is trying to fight the stigma, as I find it quite revealing to see how people respond when I answer honestly (however, I only tell people in my department, not in others).

Journalism is pretty... stressful. So It helps to have people know when to give me space and when to hug me :P
