“I’ll be back…”

No, not the terminator. If my stupid sinuses could talk, im sure that’s what it said three weeks ago when i was feeling better…because, it’s back.

Remember this?

I went to work this Monday with a headache (more like a face ache), bodyache and toothache and it felt like my liver was not doing its job of regulating my temperature properly (Dejavu). I didn’t just wake up like that, everything sort of slowly started few days before that. Anyway being the loyal employee (because im still under PROBATION), i didn’t want to screw up my appraisal by taking A Sick Leave…and so i went to work lah and hoping i wont get stop at the ‘body temperature’ check point the company set up at all entrances (H1N1 precaution).

Mid-day, everything got worst, so i told my colleagues and boss i wanted to take the rest of the day off, sacrificing my very precious annual leave. The thing is that some of the reactions i got from my senior colleagues was so irritating. Saying as if  im pretending and trying to cheat them that im sick and that im just lazy. I mean, what the fuck is wrong? Even if im cheating im using up my own leave anyways. I dont see how it’s gonna affect them manpower wise especially im working in a totally different factory. Im not hyper sensitive and i didnt blow up in front of them, it’s just so damn sad that some of them are so unprofessional. Still think we in primary school, giving reasons because we dont want to attend classes.

Anyway, ignoring those jackass people, i just took the rest of the day off. Guess what, i consulted three doctors in one afternoon. Went to one which referred me to another one with the required equipments to do further checking and diagnostic and then to another company’s panel doctor. I got more medicines than the sweets and cookies i usually get during Christmas. So after three doctors, having weird foreign objects inserted into my nostrils, csi like cotton swab of my inner nose and $$$ spent later, im diagnosed with acute sinusitis again. The doctor told me that only if i could sell my sputum, i’ll be rich, (*Can get my D90) and that if the problem last longer than 3 months, it’ll be considered chronic and will be very hard to treat.

Hope im not the next Heath Ledger/Wacko Jacko

The nurses insisted

First doctor gave me a day off but third doctor gave me two days because symptoms of sinusitis are quite similar to flu and since everyone is all super alert of H1N1, he thought it might be better to keep me at home and refrained from freaking people out. Maybe i should just have went back to the jackasses at cough at their faces. =P

Speaking of sick leave, my dad actually asked me on Sunday night to take the next day off…but then remember, i was still being loyal. But after feeling like crap on monday, i gave it some thought. It’s just a job and we’re just trying to earn some money. The company don’t own me, they pay me for my mental and physical capacity only. (*My econ lecturer told me wan – resources: Land, Labour, Capital) So, even if i fucking die, the most i get is a wreath from them or maybe even not. Im not saying we shouldnt be responsible as an employee but as humans we get sick. Sigh, too bad company culture/policy makes it as if it’s a sin to get sick, deduct marks here and there. Aiya, can see trend wan mah, if i every monday get sick than different story la!

Oh well, life goes on…
