Dealing with Sickness

Hello Everybody,

I hope you guys have had a good week. My week was not great. I was super sick for the entire week, but luckily, I’m nearly better now. In recent years I’ve hated being sick and unable to attend work or school. If I felt I could go to work or school despite being sick I would try, I still do for the most part. However, I’ve also grown more cognizant of when I should and should not do that. It may show dedication to try and go to work while feeling horrible, however, it also shows dedication to realizing that you shouldn’t be working and getting other people sick. That being said I still hate missing work, it just doesn’t feel right.

I’m not one to get really sick very frequently. With previous projects I very rarely had to take time off. I always would try and strategize around sickness and figure out how I could handle it with work. With previous projects I would work from home if I felt well enough. I would lay out the work I needed to get done then be in communication with my coworkers. When I worked as a tour guide, I would avoid work or get a desk job where I didn’t interact with people, but that only happened once. With my current work I’m planning how I’m going to return and figure out what I’ve missed. I’ll have a lot of stuff to catch up on and a lot of process changes to familiarize myself with. I’m ready to be back at work.

Well till next week you guys. I hope you have a good week and I hope to have an update for you next week.
