a visit from the sick-bug…
Not me, yet, anyway.. but poor Josh just headed back home after dropping me off at work this morning. He hadn’t planned on turning around and going home, as he had been ok upon waking, but on the way in he started feeling ill. Considering he was sweating in a car that was probably 65F degrees, yeah, he’s definitely coming down with something. :-(
So, he’s on his way home now, hopefully he’ll get there OK and in one piece. He’ll be reporting in later to let me know what his temperature is.
I’m guessing it may be the flu, since he usually doesn’t get the sweats & shivers with a cold… We’ve never been the type to get flu shots anyway, so the shot shortage that’s going on didn’t affect us, technically.
I’m just hoping whatever he has will pass me by like usual. I’m already two sick/vacation days in the hole into next year, I really don’t need to be having to take any more… as it is, we think this little surprise sickness is going to end up burning a couple of his sick days from next year, too.
Yes, only October and we have absolutely no PTO days left. For him, it’s because he started out with about 3/4th of the normal number of PTO days since he only started working in March. He’s used some here & there and then we both have 40 hours reserved for our December vacation. For me, in addition to the vacation in December, I also used two weeks of my PTO for my wedding & the honeymoon, in addition to misc sick & personal days. I think I may have also started a day or two short from borrowing into this year in 2003…
Five weeks of vacation/sick time seems to disappear faster than you’d think.
