Being Sick...When the weekend is there
You know, I have noticed something over the past seven or so years. I always seem to et sick whenever I am coming up on some kind of long weekend or vacation. Well recently it has been less of a problem. I cannot really count hangovers as a disease... or can I? Hmmm... wait.. put that pondering on the side quickly. Anyway this past weekend I caught the office crud as I call it. You know that bug that everyone gets. However, instead of staying home and recovering we have to save those valuable sick days for when we actually just do not want to come into work.
I have noticed that a lot about people. While I cannot refute the logic of it. I mean if you are going to be miserable. Why not at the place where we are all miserable anyway, the office. Really when you get down to it when do we actually do work in the office? After all, it is not like we make TV shows about people sleeping at work, playing games at work, or anything like that. No when I come to work it is not like I am spending time writing blogs for animes or just for my news feed in general. No I actually come in and from seven to four. I am all business right?
On the other hand, even if we are semi-comatose at work. We still have to think about the fact that when you are at work you are stressed out. Stress does not help you get better period. So why bother going into work. I mean all you are doing is prolonging your agony. That is all that happens when you force yourself to go to work sick. Is you prolong how long you are miserable. Granted why not save up that vacation time?
I love that about people they want to save up all their vacation time so they can take that one month long vacation. It is not like vacation that long does not take years to accumulate. No I get 160 hours of vacation after a six months right? Then again, I can appreciate those people who acculturate a year of vacation and they take a year off before they retire. That is respectable. Not that person who just wants to go on a one month vacation once every two years.
Well either way, I hate how my body and mind seem to know I am going to be taking vacation time. So instead of getting sick on a normal week. All my disease save up so I a miserable on my vacation and holidays. I will admit it is not like I do much on those days anyway. I mean I play video games... watch anime... well this weekend it is play video games... but still. Having to stop every 30 minutes or so to clear out my nasal cavity is annoying.
