I haven't had to call in sick for anything since high school, but today put an end to that 9-year streak. Felt kinda cruddy this morning, but figured I could fight through it for the day like I had on so many other occasions...but the moment this...whatever I've got, guessing the flu, possibly even swine flu (can the panic, please)...had me making a hasty donation at the porcelain god's altar, I took the hint.
Not too worried about it, though, since I won't have to take any sick time for it...for OJT purposes, my supervisor had me scheduled to work an extra 5 hours this week, and this won't eat the entirety of that up, so I'll still be completing my required 25 for the week...assuming I'm up for it tomorrow and Friday.
I just hope this doesn't get serious enough that I need to see a doctor...the hospital up here is a royal pain in the ass when it comes to dealing with their accounting department. X_x (Yeah, I actually dread that worse than having a condition that needs hospitalizing. They're that bad.)
