I think something might be wrong. Feeling very strange all of a sudden. It is difficult to describe the symptoms, somehow. Please pray for me.
May I ask, that you please also pray that this doesn't cause any present or future trouble with work, especially my coworkers themselves. With people in and out in the lab so many times already due to suspicion of having or having contacted someone with Covid, I have already seen some temperaments on edge due to the inconvenience and uneasiness that kind of naturally comes with this kind of situation, especially with having to cover those who are out. And now that I've called in, well .... Although I was never out for two weeks straight due to quarantine, the fact that only a few months have passed since I last felt obligated to call into work sick for a day, makes me a bit afraid that doing so again (and I really do feel it is best to have done so tonight because of the general worries and precautions we're all having because of Covid, even if it turned out that I don't have a fever) this soon might have others looking down on me, like wondering if I'm just playing hookey or something, you know? Three times calling in sick for one day in 2.5 years of employment isn't that bad, I guess, especially in comparison to two or three other people in the lab that have been a lot more notorious for calling in a lot, but still, I don't want to inconvenience anyone or have them thinking of me as not actually being as hard a worker as I have always led on up to this point.
