Hi guys,
Well, today is the first day that I have missed of my new job. Today would have been the first day of my third week there, so I really wish I hadn't had to take the time off BUT seeing how crappy I felt the entire first two weeks, I'm just glad I made it through that long.
It's not my tummy, though, I have a wicked cold. I have a horribly sore throat, a really bad headache, my nose is completely blocked, I have sinus pains, major cramps in my legs, I'm dizzy and tired and am on and off a fever.
Adrian should have been at home 'til 2 pm, but went in early for overtime. I spent all weekend in bed, so being by myself at home again today sucks. I so badly want to go to work, we were told we shouldn't miss a single day of training. I feel really bad, it's making me nervous and stressed.
Plus, I guess I overdid the Immodium last week as now I haven't been able to "go" for like 4 days, which is really weird for me. I am not in pain or anything, but the longer I go without going, the worse it is when I finally do. I am trying to make myself go today so that I will be okay at work tomorrow.
What a lousy day! I can't believe it, but I wish I was at work!!

Hang in there and make the most of the one day so you can get back on form. Tylenol and lots of fluids sound needed!

Yup! I just had that cold thing last week. Low grade fever for 5 days, stuffy, sneezing nose. It sucked. Did get better though by the 6th day so hang in there! Work will understand. I'm sure by the way you sounded they could tell you weren't faking it.

I ahve a rotten cold too right now, but it sounds like you have a flu. I'd love to have the option of taking a day off but it's just not a possibility right now. I can tough it out pretty good-I've worrked with pneumonia and appendicitis before....God knows how.
Anyhow, I'm feeling for you.

Hopefully you're feeling better today and that work is okay. Being C sucks big time, especially when you have to suffer with a cold too.

Sorry this is late but just wanted to say sorry that you had to miss work I hope you're feeling better now and are back at it. I'm sure you'll be ok, we got the same thing when we trained about how we better not miss any days, and it's true they covered A LOT of material in one day, but many people missed a day here or there and they all managed just fine.
Hope you're feeling better!

Hi Tina,
Thanks so much for asking, how very sweet of you!!
I did indeed make it to work the next day, but it was not a pleasant experience. I had to take public transit and there were no seats -- I was so exhausted by the time I got to work that I nearly passed out. Then a girl stole my seat, claiming she couldn't see from her seat, so I said, "No problem" and took her seat. Turns out, she just hated her seat because she was next to annoying guy. So now _I_ am next to annoying guy all week, YIKES!
I had a harsh fever the whole day, my voice was gone, my head was pounding - nasty business!
That was yesterday, today was a little better. Headache not as bad, fever gone, voice almost better, throat not quite as sore. Nose still totally blocked, but I can tell I am on the road to recovery!
Long week, wish tomorrow was Friday rather than Thursday!! Hee hee. But otherwise, I am okay. Still sick, but not super sick so no worries!!
Thanks again for asking!!
**hugs**
