Get 3 liters of water down through the day, flomax would help, your primary health care provider can write you that, it gets things moving. I would go back to work without question. Blood is normal woth stones that are moving along. Basic painkillers traded off with ibuprofen, assuming you don’t have contraindications, is a solid plan. Percentage wise the odds of passing a stone that size sit in the mid 90s.

Yikes, 3mm stones could go either direction -- a few clear out by themselves like yours may be doing, while others lodge in place and hurt like hell down the line. Blood in the urine is typical with stones, though if you're pushing out clots, running a fever, or the pain comes roaring back, that lands in urgent care territory. Going to work is likely fine given you feel okay at the moment, just keep the fluids up and don't brush off your body if anything shifts.

My first one was 3mm and it dragged on three months. I kept working through all of it, though that one was mostly just uncomfortable. The most recent was 5mm and it came out in 3 days, but the pain left me completely useless. No chance I could have worked. They're so unpredictable. I've had tiny stones that brought on bloody urine with no infection or any pain. That scared the hell out of me. Hoping you’re already past the worst of it and that sucker moves fast.
