Sick
I know that I'm being melodramatic, but I'm sick.
It's flu season here in Australia, as winter is just around the corner. I don't have the flu (well not the full-fledged superstar variety), but I do have one of its roadies. I feel headachey and I have a sore throat. My tummy doesn't want me to eat anything, and unfortunately it's being a difficult customer in the drinks department too (it has sent stuff back two or three times this morning already).
Today is Sunday, which means I won't call in sick. If I worked at a station that I knew would do some work today with actual people, I wouldn't be here. Since the likelihood of actually getting a job here is pretty much 0, I'll come in and take their extra money for working on a Sunday.
Oh, I'm such a martyr. Listen to me complain, would ya! I'm such a drama queen at times.
I think I would like some cheese to go with my whine!

Sorry to hear you are unwell, but I'm glad you can see the funny side of it! Laughter really is the best medicine.
Drink lots of fluids, get some rest, and if all else fails take some paracetamol (and a little codeine to help you sleep).
Read a good book (if you have any left!), and eat something good like chicken soup.
Take care of you!

Hi there!
A little different way to communicate with you.
Don;t feel like a drama queen.
In our occupation, WE GET SICK! It si enevitable.
I worked in the ER as a part time (volunteer, vital sigsns, history type thing), a full time Er unit secretary, and Er registar.
Of course, me, the nyrses, the doctors EVERYONE, get sick.
But you know what it is true that we are "THE WORLDS WORST PATIENTS."
I know I saw a different side of nurses, doctors, myself, and all my coworkers when we were sick.
Maybe one day I will let you know all about my sickness, kidney disease, dialysis history.
Then being a transplant patient on immunossupressives, and working in the ER, and in the field.
