I woke up this morning completely stiff and unable to move. I texted my boss told him I'd be late. Finally I gave up as I couldn't get my computer and my training manual into my car, let alone into the building.

I called my boss told him that I had about 4 -6 hours of programming to do to make a form usable and I could easily do it from here and I started working on it. He emailed back about an hour later and told me to send him a form requesting sick leave (which I'm completely out of).

Now, he doesn't get his form, I'm in a deeper sick leave hole and I'm stuck here playing video games. Except that I'll never dig myself out of the sick leave hole I"m in, I'd rather sit at home and play video games...but if I'm willing to write his formulas for the next six hours and I have medical documentation that I have a chronic illness, why shouldn't I be allowed to work!?!
