I Don't Remember This...
8:50pm: So I had another sick day today, the good news is my throat has stopped hurting (praise the Lord!), although my nose is running and/or stuffed up as Hell, it makes it hard to breathe.
In regards to my title, well I discovered that apparently if you take more than 2 days off you need a doctor's certificate, I thought you needed one after three days.
This is a bitch though because it means if I want to take tomorrow off, I need to go to the doctor, which is pretty dumb, because I know I have a cold and those generally take three days to clear up if not four. So now I'm supposed to go to a doctor's office, sit in the waiting room possibly infecting others all so I can get a note that says I have cold? Like WTF? That seems really backwards...
Now apparently you can get a certificate from a pharmacist, but obviously that's not quite the same thing as a doctor's certificate. I suppose I should clarify with my boss about that.
But yeah... I'm thinking I'll have to take a sick day tomorrow, if for not other reason then one of my work colleagues is immuno-compromised and I certainly wouldn't want to get her sick, that would be shitty of me.
I swear though, it's three days not two...but I have no way to confirm that, so I have to go with what my boss currently says. Annoying.
Also, I could have sworn I heard a few weeks back they were going to make changes to sick leave where you DIDN'T need a doctor's certificate because hey it's your sick leave and with COVID and all the idea of going to a doctor to tell you what you already know is a waste of time at best and a possible spreading event at worst. Grumble, grumble.
Also of annoyance, my ears are blocked, makes it hard to hear TV shows and my mother - I'm over at my parent's place because my Lite n Easy meals get delivered here Thursday morning, she also wanted to see the clothes I'll be taking on our Fiji trip, plus she came over to pick me up today since she borrowed my car the other day (one of my parents' cars had to go to the mechanics). This was also so we could talk to the financial advisor on the phone (my mortgage's are coming off their fixed rates so we might re-finance), this also means that my apartment got cleaned up, it was seriously due for it, so phew.
Plus we also get to watch our shows together, or maybe not...since apparently Mum watched them because they were online and the TV antenna at their place is being an ass. Hmpf, guess I should have watched them myself :OP although at least we got to watch the first 10 minutes.
Now we're watching Le Tour De France, gotta love Le Tour.
Anyway, I guess I should wrap this up because I have to blow my nose.
Damn colds.
