Unfit for work

*giggle*

I have just been certified "Unfit for Work" by my neighbourhood doctor.

*giggle*

Don't get me wrong, I am not a skiver who takes every opportunity to call in sick. On the contrary, I am one of those who always feel really guilty and always have to think like a million times before deciding whether to go to work on those mornings that I don't feel well.

Like this morning. No. It actually started yesterday. Yesterday morning, I had diarrhoea twice before I left home. Still, I decided to head to work as I was scheduled for a meeting with my big boss. Throughout the day, I had diarrhoea another 2 times, and my stomache felt sore the entire day. After dinner, 3 times, resulting in not just a sore stomache, but also a really sore behind..

Popped some charcoal pills and went to bed. Woke up this morning. Twice. Contemplated whether to go to work. After thinking through my day, decided that I didn't really have too much to do today. However, my righteousness and guilt got the better of me. Got dressed and left home. Just as I got out of the lift at the ground floor of my flat, tummy ached again and I had no choice but to U-turn back home to use the toilet. Darn. No way was I going to make it to work like this. The thought of having to scoot around for a toilet during the commute to work was too much for me to bear.

Finally decided to text my boss that I was not going in. As I made my way to the neighbourhood doctor, I saw my bus approaching the bus-stop. Hesitated a split second there whether to catch that bus and still push on for work. Stupid thought. Walked on to the clinic. Good call, cos as soon as I reached the clinic, I had to go again. After getting the MC from my doctor, I still felt really guilty so as soon as I got home, I logged on to my office webmail and cleared some of my emails before writing this entry.

Responsible employee? Foolish woman? You decide.
