Sick About PTO

It seems that sick days in Cube City are becoming a thing of the past. Now our vacation, holidays, and sick time are all lumped into "Paid Time Off" (PTO).

I sort of miss having official sick days. It felt good to call in sick, especially because I usually went to work when I didn't feel well and saved my sick time for when I was just sick of going to Cube City. That was about as close as I ever got to working the system.

I don't really know how to get excited about taking PTO because it feels like I'm not getting away with anything anymore. Sure, I'm getting away, but where's the feverish excitement in it all? I guess I'm just a little sick that way.
