The thing about only having 10 sick days a year is that you have to plan how to use them which you are not supposed to do because they are sick days and you are supposed to use them when you get sick. So what happens when you fit the definition of sick but could easily take more than 10 sicks days? Hum. Tough one.
Technically due to my situation I could be sick all week and all next but instead, I find myself only being able to take one day yesterday and one day Friday when I may or may not have to check into the hospital pending Thursday's test findings. If I use all10 days this month I won't have anything left for whatever may happen in the next part of the year. And considering what has already happened I better save some days.
So that means I need to suck it up and go to work today and have a million people ask "How are you doing?" Is it okay to say, "I am doing fucking shitty, thank you?" Probably not. What is worse is that we have our huge conference this week. Career wise I should be talking to everyone but instead I am trying to figure out ways to avoid everyone so I don't hear those dreaded words.
Today I am avoiding a big day by staying in my office as everyone will be off location so hopefully today won't be too bad. Tomorrow I just have to get lost in the crowd. Man, I can't believe I am actually thinking about how to get lost in a crowd at 7:30 in the morning. Man, this sucks. But at the same time I want everything to be over so I can start fresh and never have to think about January 2011 ever again!
