Sick Day Guilt. I took my very first sick day today. I was out all of Sunday plus late into Monday (2 am) throwing up because of food poisoning. I couldn’t get a sub in time because it came on so quickly and our district currently has a sub shortage. My kids got split up into K and 1st grade classes since we didn’t have a sub.I feel so guilty for taking the day even though I was sick. Has anyone had this guilty feeling before despite actually being sick?

Forgot to mention I’m now a 1st grade teacher. I was 2nd last year.

Yes. But you must take of yourself. Do not feel guilty. This is a district problem. Your health is priority number one.

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple. Even if that means that I have to work several minutes or hours extra on a document or an email. Things bother me if they aren't as expected. Unless I understand something clearly, I can't let it go. This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?
