Sick at work...how to manage?

Hi Sunshine, I do think it is our responsibility to go to work but still we need to take care of ourselves. I believe the best thing to do is just to manage ourselves on whatever we can and don't let our sickness affect our work. I am still sick now and I think I did a good job with managing my work. Happy New year!!

Hi there! I really hope it is easy to be absent just like that but because we were understaffed, its just hard to do so. Anyways, I am fully OK now and I hope I will be in the next days! Hope all is well.

Glad that you are ok'ay. well it really depends also in your working environment. your superior can understand if you really can't do well in your work when you are really sick. just try convincing your boss. Thanks for your response.

Hi Krause, I am feeling better now...that I have completed my set of antibiotic. I've actually taken the strongest one and I think it really worked since I am more OK now compared yesterday and the other day. I still have a slight cough but more OK now. But I still have my stiff neck which is bothering me so much since I couldn't position myself well whenever I lay down in my bed or just sit down in the chair. As much as possible, I try to not move my neck since it's really very painful. Glad that the pain medication did help it subside. Have a great day!

Hi Chiwasaki, I hope you are feeling better now. It just bad to be sick most especially if you have to report to work. If I were your case, I also don't think I would able to go to work. I only have cough and colds...and I am taking an antibiotic already. The only think that I mostly need is rest. ANSI will do that as soon as I am off to work today. Have a happy new year!!!

Hi there Otanetix, I just knew yesterday that most of my colleagues have cough and colds. I can just pin point in my fingers who aren't affected. And what I am sure about is that, I wasn't the one who started this virus...it was my other colleagues. But I do believe that my cough and colds are way more worst compared to the others who really did manage. Anyways, I am OK now compared the previous days.. Have a great day!

Hi Dee. Yeah. I got home yesterday and slept but I don't think that's enough. I still need more but I need to go to work again today. I will take some rest again as soon as I can. Happy New Year!!

Hi Blondie, I feel for you since I also work in a hospital. And like you, we are short staff so I couldn't just call in and be absent. I do have conscience with regards to my colleagues who needs to undergo overtime if someone will be absent. Anyways, I am still sick now but I think I can manage.... Happy new year!!

I am wearing a protective gear! LOL! I am wearing a face mask now just so I couldn't make someone infected. I am feeling better now anyway because of the hot water I just took. I am going home soon and can take a rest soon. I hope this sickness won't take a couple of days. I don't want to start my year that way...feeling terrible.

Nope. I have my colleagues with me. And right now, I am trying to get away from them and is wearing a face mask just not to get them infected. Good thing we aren't that many though and I think I could manage trying to be far. Happy mylotting!!!

I don't have a tea...but I am drinking some hot water just ease down my throat. Good thing it isn't a busy day at work. I think I can really make it. It's three hours more!
