I know it's been a whole week since the last time I wrote. This is mostly because I've had an awful cold. Thursday, lost my voice all together. Glad it happened the day after the interview, because that would have just been difficult. Muddled my way through the weekend, only to wake up Tuesday feeling like I hadn't slept in days and could barely breathe. Knowing that if I went to work I'd be stuck there all day, I decided to stay home and go to the doctor. And of course, my doctor decided to take an extra extended weekend. That found me in an urgent care center for 2.5 hours yesterday trying to be brave and playing solitaire on my PDA. Long story short, yes, I do have a sinus infection, no, I don't have strep, and I now have medication. And things are finally looking up. The kicker? My firm thought I was trying to take an extra extended vacation. I don't appreciate people assuming that I was being a slacker. I don't do that. And, I've never been accused of that in any other job I've ever held, let alone as a professional. Heck, I came in without a voice, only to find myself at work all day long. Had I gone with my first instinct and called out that day, perhaps I wouldn't have gotten this bad. But no, I came in and kept working even though I felt like crap. So, do not accuse me of taking sick days without being sick.
