So this is week two of being sick and I'm so over it. Too bad I can't actually be OVER it.
Fortunately, so far I've not had to miss work. I thought about it yesterday because I had this annoying cough that even I was sick of hearing, so I could only imagine how everyone else felt. But unfortunately, I can work with a cough. I wasn't throwing up, so I reported for duty. Had I known our system wasn't going to report for duty for more than five minutes at a time, I might have rethought that coming to work thing. Also unfortunately, I was raised under the teaching that if you're too sick to go to school/work, you're too sick to do anything else after hours, and I had to grocery shop last night. I was completely out of food that didn't require significant hours of preparation. So in the interest of shopping, I came to work.
Never fear though - the weekend is upon me. Surely that will get me at least an hour's rest. (Sometime after I work on the yard, probably.) And if all else fails....at least I get an extra hour of sleep on Sunday! WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hope ya feel better being sick sucks
I am close to you my parents NEVER let me stay home unless I was dying or had a really bad fever. It didn't matter that I was coughing up a lung sometimes I went. Now in my adult life it's translated over and I still go to work when sick am I nuts?
Well I'm going to say no you're not nuts (and in fact, applaud you!) but I know I'm in the minority on that opinion. Maybe I just know too many people who call in for every little hangnail and I get tired of that, so I figure better to go do your job. Plus for me, when I'm home, I just stress about what someone else might be doing to create chaos in my work load. I'd rather be there doing it myself.
On an unrelated note, how excited are you that the dreaded DST ends in a few hours? I expected a blog party to be posted this morning. Maybe you're saving it for tomorrow....I just wish the warm desert weather would leave with the extra hour. I so want to wear sweaters and curl up in blankets! :)
Well in order for me to post a celebratory blog, you see, I would have had to awaken while it was yet "this morning." :)
I slept until eleven - isn't that ridiculous? But oh yes, I'm here to celebrate now!
