I got one of my co-workers to drive me to the doctors today.

Turns out that I have gastroentiritis...and its weird shit.
I go through phases of feeling kinda ok, then get back to either pain, or feeling totally spaced out.

This sucks because they are starting to put pressure on me to return to work.ive been told that 1 day off is ok, but more than 1 is being a cunt. ive also been told that the main boss has been saying that im not sick, im just tired/lazy.

either way, im gonna wait till tomorrow and if i feel the same, im gonna spend another day in bed.

Make sure you get a note from your doctor.

Gastroenteritis is basically what's known as the stomach flu. Tell them that's what you've got. If it's viral, it's highly contagious, and you shouldn't be near others, even if the higher-ups say you're lazy. Otherwise, schedule a meeting with your boss and infect him.

If its not so bad I go to work, if its nasty but I can focus I work from home, if I feel like a bad of fuck I call off.
