Super Sick
I didn't go to the bridal studio in the end. I was really very sick. I saw the clinic doctor on Tuesday morning before I left. (The same day that I had to stay back becoz my supervisor didn't come to work.) I faithfully took all my medications & slept on & off throughout the whole day.
My supervisor smsed me at 6+ pm asking if I can work today. I was feeling better so I told her that I'm able to work, just that I was having partial voice loss. My colleague, L, called me to find out how I was at 8.30 pm. By then I was super sick again & I must have sounded horrible over the phone. L said that there's no way I can work when I'm so sick. We hung up shortly. Unknown to me, she proceeded to make arrangements for me. She called the various agency nurses to see who can come in this morning. She only managed to get D, who could stay till 1 pm. Then she called my supervisor & got her permission to execute the plan.
L then called me back & told me that I only need to report to work at 1 pm. But if I'm still unwell, I should call her so she can cover for me for the rest of the day. I'm unwilling coz she's post night & it'll be very unfair to make her come back to work. So here I am in the clinic. Just 1.5 hrs more to the end of my shift.
The moment I stepped into the clinic, my supervisor started telling me how unwell she was & she wanted to leave by 9 am. It sounded to me like she was hinting that becoz I wasn't around, she couldn't go off & leave the agency nurse (D) alone. Then she said she was thinking about getting hospitalization leave so she can rest at home. Anyway, she looked absolutely fine. If I'm on the scale of 8 with 1 being well, & 10 being very sick, I'll say she's on 1.
L called me just now at the clinic to find out how I am. Then she told me that my supervisor also told L who was passing over to her (my supervisor) that she is very sick with bad nausea. L offered to stay back so my supervisor can go off. But she didn't take up her offer.
Anyway, I'm off again tomorrow. I'm on morning shift on Friday. Hopefully I'll get much better by then. Aww man... I'm feeling terrible again. Body aches, fuzzy head. It comes & goes as my panadol wears off. Luckily I don't have a fever or I won't be able to function at all.

oh no....everyone in spc are falling sick....u bttr take care yah....old tricks ~ drink more water and rest welll....btw wat happened? rain and shines the next moment??
Hehe, SF, I'm drinking so much water that I'm peeing all the time. :P
Unfortunately, the medications doesn't seem to help at all. Like the piriton will reduce the severity of my runny nose by max 2 hrs.
Anyway, my supervisor is very yaya. She said, "If you have heeded my advice to see the Dr on Monday you wouldn't be so sick now." So I told her that I was only having a sore throat on Monday (which was the truth). She refused to listen & said, "Still it would have been better if you had seen the Dr." You don't see the Dr for a simple sore throat.
I bet she's just angry becoz she wanted to leave early on Wed, claiming she had very bad nausea but I was sick on Wed & went to work at 1 pm. But like I said, if she's sick, then I must be dying already. Bleah! Talking about her leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
