    Days off.. Beneficial?

    So I called into work today, not feeling the greatest.. How beneficial, mentally and phyisically, do you think taking a day off is? I mean a complete day, staying in bed till 11, then just watching tv, and going on here. I did about an hour worth of work... But I feel mentally relaxed. its quite nice!

    That is why most places have personal days and vacations, to help recharge the batteries.

    Just calling in sick may not be so benificial if you loose your job.

    I think it's very beneficial. Taking time to relax is important imo.
