I'm going to say it here for the younger folks:

Take your sick days, mental health is real and needs this too.

A sick note for a day off is fucking stupid. If I can get in my car and wait in my doctor’s waiting room for 2 hours, I can probably go to work. But it would be a fucking miracle if I could get an appointment with my doctor with less than three weeks notice. Thankfully, I work remotely for a company with a very liberal time off policy. But that wasn’t always the case.
