We are way overdue for a holiday - well I am, anyway. We haven't been away since Christmas 2008/2009, and that was only for a week.
But could I get a long weekend off work? Not on your nelly, because the place I work for is in the middle of a big project to launch a new database and website and there's tons of work to do.
And now I have the mother of all colds - hopefully not as terrible as the affliction which put me out of action for a month last winter - but certainly bad enough to keep me in bed for two straight days. For a cold! It's now working its way to my chest, so even if I make it in to work tomorrow, my workmates will still need to keep at least a metre away from me at all times.
And if I don't make it back to work tomorrow, then all I can say to my boss is,
I TOLD you I needed a break!

Oh poor Violet! (pat). Can I suggest Codral? Although sounds like a super cold probably need something extra strength. Hope you can get a holiday soon - winter is so depressing. Our friends are going to Cairns for beach action and snorkelling. I am so jelly! Our next holiday is in January next year....
oh but the fun vacations are so much more fun than the sick ones
Hope you feel better
donnasoowho: Codral is good stuff, but when the cold was at its worst I was too out of it to even think of it. Winter is the best time to take a holiday, if you can afford to go somewhere warm. Unfortunately there isn't anywhere in NZ which has Cairns-like weather at this time of year.
Angela: I completely agree with you. Time off sick just doesn't count.
