I really don't want to have to get up and go to work tomorrow. ☹️ Miss Meow also thinks it would be better if I stayed home and provided lap service during the day.

I'm pretty sure a note from Miss Meow is as good as a doctor's certificate. Sounds like you definitely need a day off.

Tempting, but I promised to mentor another staff member today, so not a good day for it. Plus I've managed to actually accumulate some sick leave after using it all up during Covid and various issues, I'm quite enjoying knowing I actually have a safety net there if I really need it.

In general though I am lucky not to need a doctor's note - we just need a Stat Dec, and I work at a place where most staff members can witness Stat Decs so it is a pretty easy requirement to fill. 😁
