I never get sick. Well, almost never anyway. I’ve been sick all week. It used to be, when I was in school, that being sick at least meant I didn’t have to go. But I like my job. That’s where I want to be. Being sick now means I can’t go instead. I stayed home the first day I was feeling really sick. Then I went in for a couple days, determined not to let it get the better of me. Today, it got the better of me. My fever has reached new heights and I’m miserable.
I’m sorry to hear that you still aren’t feeling well — I can appreciate that you want to be at work doing new things and learning — but, just think of it this way — if you take care of yourself and try not to push your body too far, you’ll avoid having to call out too much, because you’ll be well rested and feeling 100%. Besides — even if you don’t feel sick, it’s always good to take a “personal health day” to make sure that you’re well rested, and that you have time to get other things done in your life as well. So, stay in bed, grab your laptop and get better – We’ll see you soon
I was sick all last week too (ok, maybe 2 weeks ago.) Is it a cough-cold-thingy? Because that’s what I had and I couldn’t miss work because i was going on vacation the following week…so fever and all I had to greet retarded patients with a smile and try not to sneeze all over everything
