I’m starting to feel the signs of a cold hitting me which is never good. I’ve come to the decision that this is probably due to bad Karma from a previous life. Maybe I was a door to door salesman or a telemarketer, but I’ve definitely done something to piss the Grim Reaper off!

With this in mind I’m going to pre-empt the blighter with a dose of Vitamin C (oranges etc) and a good old fashioned helping of antibiotics! Yes that’s right I’m taking the easy way out and going for drugs.

Now many people say “don’t take antibiotics as it weakens your immune system”…. I disagree however as it will cure me quickly and the only downside is I’ll still be vulnerable to the same strain of cold.

I’d also like to add that if I’m ill in the first place, my immune system must be weakened anyway by either other influences or the illness itself

I’ve first got to apologise for the lack of anything new being published on this site for the last few days. The reason for it is good… but there is a story behind it.

It all started on a day like any other… I was tweeting my life away and had the gall to say this:

Ohhhh what a fool I was to tempt fate and be oh so cocky.

Within 24 hours the powers that toy with our lives (and mine more than most) decided to reward my confidence with the worst head cold ever inflicted on any human being.

It actually felt like my head was going to pop….. also the 50% rise in Kleenex shares is down to me!

So resigned not to be ill over the entire Xmas period I decided to Quarentine myself, fast for a few days and drink tons of water!

To my surprise and after 4 grusome days I emerged from my Quarentine zone with just a tiny cold which is trivial in comparison to what I had.

I do feel a bit guilty though as one of my housemates has now contracted what I affectionatly named “Ebola X”….. sorry Helen and hope you get well soon.

So there… I wasn’t blogging cos I was “Incapacitated”……. my head felt like it was going to do an impression of the guy at the beginning of the film “Scanners”!!…. watch it and you’ll get the idea!

Merry Xmas all…. hope you don’t get what I had!

So last night I awoke to a rather nasty pain which followed by me vomiting and stomach cramps for about 3-4 hours…this has left me feeling quite unwell today. Rather than treat work to my bodily fluids and general unwell state after a failed attempt to make my way into work I opted to call in sick and get some general rest…..

Low and behold I recieve an influx of people telling me it’s a “bad day to have a sick day” and also get lots of general work requests for me to do at home. Even my housemates jump on the band wagon and send me lists of housework to do since i’m at home anyway! Sure i’m ok to move in the confines of my own bedroom ….. but am I mad in thinking that when your ill the only requirement should be rest.

EU law states that i’m allowed to self cetificate for the 1st 3 days of sickness… I often wonder if other people get the same level of abuse when they are ill or if it’s just me??

People wake up and smell what you’re shovelling… Sick days are there to allow people to get better! A Sick day is not defined by someone who sits at home unwell doing their daily work… if it was we’d have “hospital style” wings in every workplace for Ill employees!
