I’ve been out of work since the not quite two hours I worked last Monday. And if no medical intervention, it could take me a month to pass it.

If you qualify for something you're not a bad person for utilizing the resource. That's why there are criteria, to ensure the people who are using it are the ones who should be using it.

I’m not currently in much pain, because the fucker isn’t moving. But I could probably work? Even with frequent bathroom breaks? But it wouldn’t be sanitary to take the filter to work to try and catch the stone

yeah, no, you aren't a bad person.

frequent bathroom breaks is a disruption in your normal functioning.

Ty. Just felt guilty today all of a sudden

I get that. I would too, but I imagine frequent breaks would disrupt your work day a lot.

Considering I work in a call center? Yeah

yeah. I would say you've got a good reason!

thanks for helping me feel better about it

Nah do the thing. It might be okay now but at some point it's going to stop being as okay and you'll be glad you did the thing!
