About my day.
Let's start with yesterday's little sojourn to the pub, where I had one more pint of Addlebrains than I thought I had time for. *ahem*
I knew that I would have difficulty getting up this morning, but I was wrong. I was up promptly at 7:07, but as predicted I had a thumping headache, which I put down to the cider.
I got up and ready for work and left in time to get there for 8:30.
At 9:15 I realised that this was not just a hangover (it was an M&S hangover 
) as I was shaking, feeling feverish though with no noticeable fever, and kind of itchy all over. So I went to my line manager and managed to croak that I was sorry that I could only manage ¾ of an hour and that I was going home. It was only then that I realised that I had lost my voice. She told me to take a couple of days off, but if I was still feeling unwell on Monday I should phone in sick.
I came home and have stayed here, not even tempted to nip out to the pub, drinking plenty of fluids and trying to eat as well as I can.
It's not too bad, at the moment. I've worked through worse, but as there have been a couple of cases of H1N1 on site (it's a big site) nobody's taking any risks.
Don't worry, I seriously doubt that it is Swine Flu. It's not even Man Flu.
