But I'll know, and if I don't get anything done I'll be upset with myself. How do I take a day of without me knowing?

I feel this.

None of my stuff gets done when I'm gone, so a day off just makes things worse when I return to the office, so I end up spending my day off answering emails and taking phone calls.

A day off is basically just remote work that burns vacation time.

In my case it really is true. I work for a very small city with less than a dozen employees, and we all wear a lot of hats. I process permits, coordinate development projects, am the GIS department, and have been known to flag traffic when there's a road collapse.

The State keeps passing new laws to prevent cities from getting more income, so we can't hire more people.
