Rampant Illness
Image via Wikipedia
It seems illness is quite rampant in my workplace. At least 2/3, if not more, have been sick. I have had to work while sick and I think it has really caught up with me. That is why I haven’t felt like writing this week. I had to work over most days and then by the time I got home I was just too tired to do anything except crawl in the bed and sleep until the last-minute before I had to go back to work. A few days this week I had to go in early. I got off this morning and came home and tried to pretend I was human and stay awake for a bit. I did for a little while but sleep overtook me. I have now been up for about 2 1/2 hours and I am ready to go BACK to bed. Hmmm…this is not looking too good. I am over the stomach bug that had me so sick but now I feel like a cold is setting in. Ugh!
Sorry to whine…it’s just so frustrating to try to work so hard and then get sick. I used Lysol® and hand sanitizer and washed my hands like crazy. Nothing seemed to help. I think when you work in shifts and occupy the same areas as other people it is bound to happen. It is so horrible, though. I do not like being sick. OK, enough about that. I’m taking my sick self to bed again. I guess if my body is trying to fall asleep as I type that maybe I should listen. And at least I don’t have to fight it tonight. I can actually GO TO SLEEP.
Hope the rest of you are well.

Hope you get to feeling better soon. I’ve been fighting off a cold for the past few days. Had to work over the weekend, thought I’d go home at 12:30 yesterday, when the closing manager came in (I came in at 5:30 am)…surprise…he never showed up!! I ended up working from 5:30 am to 8:30 pm…not a good way to fight off illness…I don’t imagine he’s going to want to talk to me the next time we work together…
I’m so sorry you got screwed over like that. I know how that feels. That is crappy and if you want me to yell at him for you, just send me his number and he’ll get a Southern cussing like he has never had. And I won’t even bless his heart after i do it!
I hope you get to feeling better soon! I thought I was on the mend but today I feel so terrible and I hope we aren’t going to battle again. I thought I won the first time but that might not have been the case after all. I feel so dang sick. I’m bout to head to bed and see if I feel well enough later to go to work. I hate to call in, but I sure can’t work the way I feel now. I wish you much health! 
Oh, believe me, I don’t need anyone to do my yelling for me…I can do a pretty good job of it myself…I’ll be working with that guy tomorrow…he closes…well, at least I hope he does…anyhow…he better be planning to close…are you feeling any better at all? I haven’t felt too bad today, of course, I haven’t really done much today either…a little house work, went out and got my hair cut and styled (pretty darn cute) and that’s about it. And I don’t have to be at work until 7:30…what a treat!
I felt ok for a few days and then today my stomach started hurting and I felt nauseous and had other issues as well. I have been taking phenergan and immodium and trying to rest. I had to call out of work tonight but I gave them plenty of notice. I didn’t trust my stomach to be working overnight. I felt like that was a little more than I could handle. If I am not feeling better tomorrow then I am going to call the doctor’s office and see if I need to come in. Thanks for caring! I’m glad you got a cute haircut. That always is a pick-me-up!
I just pulled my ponytail holder out because it was hurting my head. I’m heading to bed. Between phenergan and my other meds I am sleepy.
