Signed up for doctors Monday
Me? Going willing to the doctors! Good gods I must be ill!
Ok, I have a bad cold, maybe mild flu and its only been making me miserable for a few days - it's not nearly as bad as a year ago (that long?! ye gods how time flies).
Except of course a year ago I was ill because I have pneumonia. Yeah and it vaguely occurs to me that that means I'm going to have to be more paranoid about respiratory diseases. I'm not sure about pneumonia recurrence, but I do know it can damage your lungs which (presumably) either makes you more vulnerable to lung nasties or makes said lung nasties worse.
Damn it, i normally avoid doctors like the plague now I'm seeking one from paranoia? I must be growing up.
ETA This was promopted by me being sent home from work early today. Note SENT. The Most Senior of Partners has a thing about sick days - you WILL take them if you have something that is potentially contagious. He likes and trusts his staff and knows we (probably) won't abuse it (much) so he demands we take days off when we are sick and pays us generously for our sick days. His reasoning is that having someone spreading germs around his office is far more damaging than doing without them for a few days.
So upon seeing me walk in today, coughing and spluttering, he roared at me to leave the building "and not come back until you have rid yourself of that pestilence!" (yes he does talk like that. He's a very old lawyer, he's allowed). Roared is accurate since he refused to come within 10 feet of me.
My work may be crazy but I've got to love the people there. Even if they do steal my underground parking
