Kicked out of the Office

So today marks the 3rd day of me being sick. for those who don't know, i fell gravely [ok la. not so exaggerated.. but it was quite bad] ill on sunday night. i went to bed fine but tossed and turned in bed like a fish who jumped on shore [hmm that's quite a good imagery. dunno why no one's used that before to describe tossi... nvm] so woke [well you can't wake up when you never really did sleep much] up the next morning with a ultra high fever. this, i'm not exaggerating. my sis was freakin me and my mum out sayin how i was 38.6 and if i was 40, i'd have to go hospital and get that drip stuck in my hand. so duh, called in sick. Boss was real nice. he said take mc and rest.

So spent the first half of the morning jus dying. HAHA.. k k, trying to get rest and fight the ache... then went to poly clinic at bout 10... waited and finally got all the things done at 12. :) that's 2 wonderful hours. there came a point in the polyclinic i was sitting alone coz dad went to walk and the aches were so bad i was like dying in my hard chair la. twist and turn [people watching must have thot i'm on drug rehab or sumthing] but nuthing was comfortable. it's like one of those scenes where a person's trying to escape a straight jacket. wanted so much to cry out DAD!!! so i did it virtually. smsed him askin where he was and when he came back, laying on him was so much better. aiyoh. felt so uncomfortable b4 he came lor. dunno why also. evil fever. so yeh, got the mc and went home to rest. spent the whole day sleeping... managed to take winks in between smses coming in and stuff... and phone calls. -_-; but yeh. managed to rest quite a lot despite my high temp [i always told you people i'm hot] and aches...

the next day i still didn't feel well enuf... fever was lower but still not gone. aches were slowly going away but there was a weird feelin in my stomach. so woke up and decided to call in sick again. felt so bad. but necessities. this time, we didn't have the time, patience and.. ummm.. anything to sit thru 2 hours so we jus decided to pay a little extra and go to the family clinic outside. he was a real nice guy. really.. warm and frenly. :) he's a catholic. i saw the crucifix and he's closed on sunday. anyhow.. he charged $26.. which is $16 more than the poly clinic... so i pay $16 more and i got a full doze of antibiotics, one extra day mc, no wait and a warm smiling guy who makes you feel that you're actually a patient and not a tin can sitting on a conveyor belt that doesn't stop till you've cleared all the tin cans. :)

yeh. so i went back with 2 days of mc. so that's a total of 3 days... so spent yesterday resting and recovering. towards the night, the fever had disipated... but the stomach weirdness was getting worse... to cut a whole day short [coz when you're resting and sick, the day isn't interesting at all] i woke up today feeling much better so i decided to go work la.

So got changed and stuff wif the motivation to go work. parly coz i missed working, partly coz i should go since work would be piling up and partly coz home was boring. So i went, despite having an Mc that covered the day... went there and had hell at the pass office.. first time had so much trouble. made me really late for work. anyhow, once my boss saw my MC he was like. eh! today also ah? joel come here... you on mc today ah? k k, let me try to re-anact...

Chris: then go home! go go. get lost. dun want you here. later you kenna sumthing then die la.

Alvin: i'm fine wif him stayin la
Chris: eh, dun overwork yourself la. go home la. got mc dun want to go home. why? we dun torture you enuf issit? that's why you want to get more torture ah? hmm Alvin, i know liao la. see la. this temp get sick on weekend coz he got no work to do. so from now on, we make the temp staff take home work to do on the weekend. then they won't get sick. hows bout it?
Alvin: haha yeh yeh.
Me: -_-. haha very funny ah. haha... yeh, i clear my work then i'll go la.
Chris: go home la! why you so siao onz to get tortured?!?
