back from the doc

i do my best not focus on negatives and really do try not to whine (though the baby inside does want to sometimes), but i actually did feel like death warmed over monday night and most of the day tuesday (headache, runny nose, ear ache, scratchy throat, stomach cramps, diarrhea, body aches, and profound fatigue)... for a moment, watching the news, i was concerned about swine flu and knowing this body, kidney stones and who knows what cuz i had all the symptoms of both (except for fever, which was why i was not really much concerned)...

feeling much better today, but the body aches like it was hit by a bus and is physically exhausted cuz sleep was broken and restless even though i stayed in bed most of yesterday... i intended to rest up today, but no, an angry phone call at 8:45am woke me demanding i prove i am not a liar by going out and sitting in a doctor's office where i am more apt to catch something than resting at home... wow, it's kind of amazing... i feel sorry for a man that selfish, paranoid, and insensitive... not to mention unfair and probabnly legally unethical in a ceo position...

the clinical director was out more than a week in the past two months and every other manager has been out at least a few days, some more... the ceo himself went home at 10am sick and took a couple of days (though it's probably not on record as he's the boss)... and me, i've not taken a day off since early january and haven't called in in longer than that...

anyway, the doctor gave me a note covering three days and offered more which means, if they are really going to play by the rules, they should send me home tomorrow because tomorrow would be the third day, but i intended to go in and i shall... i've got way too much work on my desk and there is nobody else to do it... even though the child in me tells me to take the rest of the week and go see another doctor cuz it would be a snap to be tagged for lab work to rule out the swine flu that everybody in the news seems so panicky about these days... if only i didn't take my work so seriously, aye?...

so how is your day?
