The futility of sickness and the pangs of VTO..

Not the biggest fan of feeling like I've had too much sun..and that coupled with the oft hacking cough and nasal congestion just tends to make me miserable during my work shift. Granted, having a real job after much time is still a new thing, but also having to cope with this month long sick crap is almost too much to bear.

Ironically, despite the current symptoms, this is the best I've felt since it all started..and that's saying much.

I think the worst part of this is that this job provides both blessings and curses in terms of sickness sympathy. You'll garner yourself an ''occurrence'' if you call out, but if you show up the next day and feel dead, they'll sign you up for VTO(voluntary time off: read nonpaid) and you can flee for the day scot free. Tricky stuff.

...Just hoping for a timely end to all of this..had enough time in the sick kid queue.
