mental health days ?
By the way , can ayone explain to me what a mental health day is ? I keep reading them on blogs . We dont have them here ( UK ) . It sounds like a day off to take care of your mental health ?
Is it now a 'real' term? It has always meant what it sounds like, taking a day off because you just need one. You're not physically ill - you could be fed up you could be overwhelmed - you could simply just not had a day off in a while. So yeah, taking a mental health day is necessary once in a while, although so far I don't know any employers who actually officially recognize the term.
Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside, United Kingdom
I live near the sea , with two people and several cats all of whom feature prominently on the blog . I have an enduring interest in food and find it hard to stop writing . I work some hours in a Day Job and write reports on my Laptop but much prefer developing my cat minding business and other stuff . I read several books a week and used to like ordering mini pound puppies on e bay for the cats . I have however moved on . My nephew is called Harvey . My sister is one of the beautiful people ( her words ).She likes voles. She and my partner share an interest in Tidiness.We have recently had a greyhound move in with us . Her name is Alice .
