Sick days

Last Tuesday, I played hookey from work and called in sick. I wasn't really sick but took a day off to sleep in and just hang around the house. I also went to see my sister and my new baby nephew at the hospital. Ok, admit it, everyone does that every so often, when you're just tired and want a day off....

My company doesn't dock us when we take sick days, so it's kinda always better to call in sick than to take vacation (PTO). But no one really abuses the policy because we're so damn busy that we can't really afford not going to work (workload then just piles up the next day). Anyways, so I got the "lazy" bug and called in sick last Tuesday.

So what happened to me over the weekend? I really got sick!! Started with a big sneeze and then sore throat. Then I got the stuffy nose (still very congested) and then more sore throat and dehyration. Today, throat irration and random coughs. Because I already took a sick day last Tuesday, I didn't want to call in sick again! So I sucked it and went to work. Is this punishment for me for playing hookey? The funniest thing is that last Tuesday, I actualy thought about what would happen if I got sick later on... and it came true! Speak of the devil!!
