Nasty bug

That was a nasty "bug" I caught two weeks ago.

It put me out of commission for a week! I actually stayed home and just practically slept and watched TV. It's been a dream of mine to just take time off and just do nothing, unfortunately, it's not the same when you are nursing a terrible headache, cough, and fever.

By the third day, I was bored to death and I felt like I've made a permanent dent on our bed from staying too long on a reclining position. I also thought it's ridiculous that I've NOT gotten over this after 5 days. I don't feel like visiting my doctor either just to get a strong prescription and a note that I was really sick. I can't believe I am incapable of shaking off this thing that was plaguing me. That morning, I thought, I woke up feeling okay or better than the last few days. So I attempted to go to work.

Well, that was a totally bad idea. Lasted only until 10am and had to get back home -- pronto! I prioritized what needed immediate attention on my Outlook inbox and left. I think all I managed to do that day was spread the virus into the general public--stupid me!

Following day, Thursday, I actually got a call from the boss and he actually said for me to stay away until I am 100% better--geez, talk about feeling like you have the plagued--but ok--I'd rather stay home and watch TV than deal with work that week anyway. Plus, now I am wondering if I got this from him, he was sick and didn't report for work for two days that week either. I am sure I won't get the chance of taking a week off anytime sooner, so why not? So there, I didn't have to call in again for Friday, even if I felt better that day, I stayed home and took utmost pleasure --er languished pala-- for another day off from work.
