yeah full blown sick now

[Guest guest]

i woke up this morning with a fever. past few days had a slight sore

throat but sucked on cough drops and indulged in hot liquids like

coffee and tea.

i was thinking it was camping in the cold but i was feeling fine until

a few days ago. i have a woman at work with full health coverage

plenty of sick time racked up but yet she comes to work and coughs all

over the place and says " i'm not sick blah blah " bull crap. even if

you weren't sick, you are coughing into your hands(training videos say

use sleeves since sleeves don't handle the food and utensils or at

least wash hands after you do that). somebody else(the germaphobe of

the group) bitched that the woman was not washing her hands. great

that is lovely!!! get the whole high school sick. its bad enough i

have to handle nasty money and can't wash my hands until between

lunches, not to mention nasty kids(think they are old enough to know

NOT to pick there nose etc) i guess i didn't stand a chance no matter

how healthy i am. unlike ms. coughy pants i don't have much sick time

left,i used most of it to take viola to the drs, and i don't have full

health insurance which means it will cost me a ton of money for a dr.

to tell me i may have a cold/sore throat and get a dr. note.

i TOTALLY understand that when a little under the weather most can't

just call out of work b/c of fear of losing pay etc but if you DO have

3-4weeks sick time and full health coverage(i mean she loves to brag

how great it is) then why not STAY HOME if you have a nasty cough.why

put others through heck. we have another woman at work who has 3 kids

she cannot afford to get sick b/c she lost her health coverage too.

she just couldn't afford it anymore and like me she took time and used

sick time to take kids to drs or nurse sick kids at home.

the worse part is i want to workout i still have that drive but i know

it will not happen with a sinus headache,sore throat,and fever. if i

even try yoga it will feel like my brain is floating on water and i

will spend the rest of the day on the couch.

just had to get that off my chest.
