every sufficiently jaded chronically ill person is allowed to make jokes about faking medical emergencies to get their loved ones out of work obligations. it’s in the handbook
tell your boss you have to race home immediately, and that it’s an emergency involving a very sick person, because I want to play Minecraft with you and I am sad.
I... literally just did this with my sister, who's my caregiver. She was trapped in a really bad remote meeting and I leaned in and was like, "just tell them I'm really extra sick today so you can log off and play WoW."
