That sucks, what an archaic way to look at things. I constantly have something playing on my phone (a podcast, a TV show I've seen 100 times, music) as background noise, it drowns everything else out and it's a lot easier to sink my teeth into my work. People function in different ways and they should at least try to understand that.
Like I appreciate the offer to get a radio, but what I listen to doesn't affect how I work. I'm just annoyed and frustrated. Might actually commit to that mental health day off sometime this week.
You should do it! I applied for next Monday off so I can have a long weekend, it's tough out there.
Yeah thinking about Friday. Though not too sure how I can ask for a sick day off into the future.
