So I stayed home from work again this morning. My doctor’s office called to confirm the pneumonia diagnosis and to schedule a follow-up appointment for this Friday. I’ve also been prescribed an additional antibiotic and told I should probably stay home this week and rest. Now is maybe not the best time for me to be taking a whole bunch of sick days all at once — which I’ll actually have to supplement with vacation days — but next week would probably be worse, as would not letting my body recuperate from the pneumonia at all.

Of course, I think I’d rather be at work than at home watching movies like Tiny Furniture on Netflix. (Everything Noel Murray says here is accurate, although I might have leaned more towards a C grade.
