This Tuesday I had complained about someone in the office always ringing sick in the morning, or going other cities to attend a meeting, or always having all kinds of excuses not coming to work, which gives others (sometimes only a couple of staff) a very hard time. We had to deal with all the requests and busy on cleaning other people’s ares.

Personally I felt it’s actually not fair. I am entitled 105 hours (about 15 days)’ sick leave per year, but I only used one day. There are only two months left before my first anniversary day working in this place. I can’t see I will possibly use the rest of sick leave before it’s due. I made a joke to one of my colleagues that I will ring sick tomorrow. She knows I was joking. I have my own standard to do things. It’s kind of too hard for me to pretend I am sick and then ring. It’s just something I can’t and would not do.

But now I am really sick. I started to feel nausea yesterday afternoon at about 3:30pm after I drank a cup of tea. I highly suspected I was actually attacked by some virus that brought to the office by other girls who claimed sick before. Wednesday is the day we get most people in the office, and it’s also the most risky day that we might get infected from others.

I tried my best to finish my Chinese class in the evening. I don’t know what I was talking about:-( Another thing came with nausea is severe headache as if my head is going to explode and crack up. I even couldn’t have a shower before I went to bed. I rang my mom and sister to ask what medication I should take. At the end I drank two packets of 感冒清热冲剂 and a glass of water with salt, tucked myself into the quilt. I smelled like Traditional Chinese herb

Tomorrow morning? I am not going. I will ring sick. IT IS MY TURN:-)
