Thoughts: On Being Sick

It's difficult to get sick nowadays, considering how much we all need the money we earn from actually showing up for work.

The past week, I was not able to go to work. It is also the reason why I haven't posted. Since we got back from the Laguna outing trip, I have not been feeling well. After seeing the doctor, it turns out that I have incurred a bacterial infection that caused me to develop fever, uncontrollable cough, sore throat, and aching joints.

Now, that's 5 days off of my salary this coming pay period. That's not even including the absence I had the week before I got sick.

That's a 6-day absence within a 12-day cut-off period. Great. Rent is due this week and credit card bills are due in the next two weeks. That's just great.

Maybe I should bet on the Mega Lotto, see if I win like a gazillion pesos. Haha. Anywho, I should start working. I just blogged to remind everybody to keep healthy and safe. We need to rake in as much income as we can, and getting sick just won't help you do that. Tsk.

Have a great week, everybody.
