Coughing Zombie...

Sick! Oh so sick! I hate it how you need a Medical Certificate in Singapore for everyday you claim a sickie!!! And the doctors are always on the company's side and always only give me that 1 day off that I go to them to get medicine. So even if you're truly sick and on medicine, which most of them make you drowsy, you still have to stick it out at work! Insane!

So these last two days I've been at work, drugged up and trying to fight the medicine so I don't fall asleep. Which has a sort of calming and sedated effect, but I still have to try to do my work. And I can't not take the medicine, or I'd be coughing my lungs out =_=" Sounds fun right, stonned in front of the computer, needing to sleep but having to resist and having the graphics on the screen warping all on their own.

The medicine doesn't seem to be working though! I feel worse than when I actually went to see the doctor on Tuesday! My throat is more sore, I'm coughing more, feel even less energetic and today I was starting to lose my voice >.<" It was particularly bad this afternoon when I felt so weak and started to zone out, then suddenly snapping back and asking myself... 'Why am I air brushing this part of the graphic again?!'

But the medicine does have it's pros. I can't seem to get stressed out whilst on the cough medicine! It's kinda... great! These two days I've been approached with so much nonsense and extra work, but instead of feeling all stressed, breathless and with a tight chest as usual... I still get angry, but feel very calm. I wish I could be like that even without medication! Then I wouldn't have to worry that I'd be one of those young people who gets a stroke at a very young age.

Now feeling better, after coming home from work and collapsing straight into bed for a good 2 hour nap. Waiting for this batch of medicine to kick in. Will see how I feel tomorrow morning then I'll decide to go back to the doctors or not, as I've run out of medicine! Hope this doesn't turn out like last year where I was coughing all the way through CNY till June cos of allergies. Not fun!

Tis funny though, cos just before the new year I was kicking myself that I only took like 1 or 2 days Medical Leave last year and I look stupid next to people who've used up all 14 days of theirs. Haha and now 21 days into the new year I've used up 2 days and maybe 3 by tomorrow. >;P  Jinx!!!
