You are not sick but you do not want to go to work. Now you are battling with whether you should call in and lie to your boss or tell him the truth, which is that you just want a day to relax. Well I believe that it is important to take a day to yourself. You should be able to take a day to do nothing or else you would feel as though you are only living to work.
Work, I believe, should enhance and add value to your life. And there is a lot more to life than work. Now you still need to decide what you are telling your boss however if your company has something called casual or business leave days, you can always call in and say that you have something to attend to. No one has to know that what you have to attend to is at home!
But here is another slant to this - is it possible that you are masking a silent but growing job dissatisfaction? Now this is very real and if you do some serious intropsection, you may realise that deep down inside you just are not happy to go to work because you are not happy with your work. You hear all the wonderful stories from people who tell you that they enjoy their job and look forward to it because they see it as a career (blah, blah, blah) BUT you do not feel that way about your job! For you work is something you drag yourself to and the dragging is especially harder to do after a weekend!
Well my friend, if this sounds like you, then you need to find your calling. You need to find your dream job and start contributing to your career which is that thing that you can see yourself doing for the rest of your life.
Don't wait until you are fired or have reached the breaking point to start looking at new job offerings. If you have recognised your problem then by all means start working towards a solution!
