They do? It takes 5 minutes to tell a telehealth doctor that I’m sick. Then I have to be extra careful to ensure that I’m 100% well before calling in well.

Getting a letter like this in the mail is just a trophy. It’s also a source of entertainment for my UA and AA friends, who have never seen anything like this.
