Wow that has followed almost the exact same cycle as my illness. I was even told the same thing from the doc, maybe h1n1 maybe not. Except I wasn't allowed to go to work. I still can't go until my doc says I'm clean, nice HR policy, eh?
I feel your pain. I too am keeping the cough medicine industry in business.
My cough seems to have subsided a bit but the sinus pressure last night kept me awake all night, and today I feel like someone's punched me in the face... headaches suck ass!
I didn't know you could get codeine cough syrup. Should have had that for my daughter because her headache with her flu was terrible.
So do you get paid for sick days. I hate that. We are supposed to not come in if we exhibit flu like symptoms but we have limited sick days. Sorry, I have to pay my bills and feed my kids. If I'm out of days, I'm coming in and spreading my germs and infecting your staff and customers. Or you can give me an extra sick day. I figure I'd come in, and slowly die at my desk with my door shut till 5PM.
"Is Katrina in? I need to see her about my investment plan." "She IS here - but you don't want to see her today..." *whimpering moan from Katrina's office*
