It's name? The common cold *coughs hard* why me.....
Yikes. I hope you get better soon.
Also I have been sick with cold for over a week now ... So I understand the unfairness of the situation![]()
Please, someone.... rip out my throat![]()
OhHahah, no. I'm either on day 3 or day 4 and I'm either going to feel great tomorrow morning or truly begging to die.
I had a cold right before Christmas, if you'll remember. Well, my hubby caught it and now I have it again. I've had it nearly all week this week. I'm managed to make it to work all week because they have a stipulation that you have to work your last scheduled day before a holiday and your first scheduled day after the holiday after the holiday in order to receive your holiday pay. If you are scheduled to work the holiday then you have to work that day as well in order to get your holiday pay. If you miss any of those three days, you'll loose your holiday pay on top of missing the pay for not working that day. So, I've managed to work the whole week in order to not loose my holiday pay.
I'm sorry you're sick. I hope you feel better soon.
Yes, it really sucks if you actually get sick around a holiday. You not only loose money for the day(s) you miss but you miss out on your holiday pay as well. I think they do that in order to entice people to not call in on a holiday but what do you do if you really do get sick? I've seen people who've had to leave because they've had a serious migraine and missed both the day before the holiday and the day after.....they lost their holiday pay as well but they couldn't help it.
The second time around seems to be slow moving as well. I hate when they want to hang on instead of letting go. Have you tried the Mucinex Severe Congestion and Cough (the liquid)?
I take the big pill version, which seems to be now working. My throat is calming down and now its runny nose and sneezing, usually it doesn't take my colds this long to get to this point.
Nice to know you are feeling better D_S.
hahah, no. Yes, my throat is no longer feeling like I ate metal scraps, but now I'm an endless faucet with my nose and constantly sneezing. My entire face is in pain with sinus pressure right now its not funny. I should have called in sick today at work, I got so distracted and felt horrible I made the mistake of wiping someone's hard drive before a data transfer could be completed. Going to work on Tuesday will be fun...
Thought I be better today, but at the most I was awake for about 4 hours between a few game playing and eating. This is a nasty cold...
