Help me stay here today?

[Rajah]

I'm not feeling well today, that infection is bothering me quite a bit and I'm about to fall asleep at my desk because of it, but I really can't justify going home sick again today unless I get even worse.

I've got a little over 4 hours left to stay today, help me make it?

Just getting over being sick myself - I hear you!
I hope you feel much better soon!!
YOU CAN MAKE IT!

Hope you feel better. Maybe a cup of Kona coffee will help you make it for the last four hours. Do you have to work tomorrow also or do you have a day off?

Set up a little bed under your desk like George on Seinfeld.

Oooooo I agree, a nice cup of coffee might help.

The bed under your desk idea works too!

 

[Rajah]

LOL! Nope, no can do on the bed under my desk. I'm counting the minutes until my cubemate goes home, though. Then I can at least put my head down for a few minutes.

Can't do the coffee, have already done 2 diet cokes, and I'm not supposed to do *any* caffeine at all so I'm already 2 more than I should have. And they're not doing any good anyway.

I just have to keep reminding myself that the only thing I'd get at home that I'm not getting here is sleep.

Of course, if my manager were in town then I'd probably approach him and see about going home and he'd almost definitely say go home.

But I've already taken more sick time than I really should this year. Of course, I've been *sick* with all the time I've taken so it's not like I'm faking it or misusing it.

*mutter*

Must....stay...

I know how rough it is to be at work when you don't feel well. Is there somewhere you could go and hide for awhile. I'll admit to scheduling a meeting on my calendar and then going off somewhere quiet. How cafeteria (sp?) keeps the seating area open even after the food service has closed down. A corner booth is a good spot. Does your office have any place like that?

If not, try going into the bathroom and hiding out there for a little while.

They have the nurse's office and a "quiet room" there, but I don't really like using it. I'd be more comfortable if my roomie would go home for the afternoon.

How did you do, Tammi??

Dear Tami, I know how you feel hun. I sure hope you get to feeling better real soon. Please know that I will keep you in my prayer's. I have to tell ya what I like, Town House cracker's and try some of the Lipiton soup (noodle or chicken) you can make it in a cup.
