2008.... thus far

I got sick on New Years Eve... and have been sick since. Last week I pushed myself to get to work, as I have not yet accumulated any sick time this year yet. We used to get our days up front on Jan. 1, but not any more. So, basically you can't take vacation or get sick in January without losing pay. I've missed work yesterday and today. And unlike passed jobs where I didn't give two shits if I missed work, I really kinda have to be there...

So let's recap 2008 thus far:
* Got Sick - Dec. 31
* Slept all day Jan. 1
* Worked with sore throat and no voice for three days
* Slept all day Saturday
* Had previously agreed to babysit on Sunday - went reluctantly... and still sick.
* Sunday night, I felt worse - severe headache
* Didn't sleep Sunday evening
* Monday, Jan 7, thought I would die from severe headache/sinus pain.... went to doctor.
* Was told I had a secondary infection. Antibiotics will take a few days to kick in.
* Nearly died yesterday from pain (okay, slight exaggeration)
* Missing work again today - pain continues but slightly reduced

Well, so far 2008 has been a bust.
