Reminds me of my ex father-in-law. He was about 55 and he worked for Ford. He had so many sick days and vacation days and personal days that he would just take a day off even though there wasn't a thing wrong with him. He didn't suffer from mental illness. I always thought he was weird for taking days off because he would just putter around the house watching tv- he had a tv in every room except the bathrooms. Life just isn't fair! I never got alo g with him. Glad he's not my father-in-law anymore.
