Awake!

[shep_shepherd]

Woke up about half an hour ago, despite only going to sleep at 2300 last night - a fucked body clock as a result of working at night and sleeping during the day and a blocked nose resulting from an ongoing cold are to blame. Hopefully I won't feel too tired during the day and will be able to survive the overtime shift I'm working tonight...

I wasn't able to sleep all night, and now I'm tired but trying to stay awake to be able to get to the doctor's office in the morning for getting a few days extension on my sickie.

At least I have a profound excuse for excess sick days - the moment my voice or throat in general is affected in any way, I have all rights to stay at home, and that's usually the first thing that gives way during a cold, and the last that comes back. :)

I usually don't stay away from work when I'm ill unless I am physically incapable of working, such as when my sciatica plays up, I have a migraine or I get 'proper' influenza. Not wanting to let my colleagues down has something to do with this, as does the fact that although my job pays well, I don't get paid if I stay at home.

There's no fear of me spreading my cold germs in this case, as everyone else in my office has already had what I've got ;)

Get some Sn-Otrivine, (Nasal spray) it`s the dogs bollox when it comes to clearing the sinus`s, and it does last for many hours.

I'll have a look for some when I go into town later ;)
