EP12: "I can't go out. Cough cough, I'm sick" - Do you take a sick leave?

Anyone who has watched "Mean Girls" must have recognized the line in the title of this episode. :D

Yes, I'm late to the "big party" after 3 years: COVID has finally caught me. Unfortunately, we both are not one of those who don't show any symptoms. Instead, we've suffered from pretty severe chest pain, coughing, headache, and fever (only me).

Obviously, I'm not fit to work at the moment, and I had to take sick leave. All of a sudden, it occurred to me that after having worked for over 6 years in Germany, this is my very first time of taking sick leave. Why is that?

Then I got triggered to have a discussion with Nelli on the differences of "sick leave culture" between Germany and China, hence this episode.

My head still hurts. Get well soon.
