I developed a runny nose yesterday morning and all that is on my mind is to tell my boss to make advanced planning for the likelihood that I will be absent. I anticipated that working full time, my body will eventually need a good rest after a rainy season. My nose started showing signs that it is a broken faucet on Friday needing paracetamols to fix it first.
Throughout the ordeal, all I want is to climb under the blanket and wrap myself like a teddy bear. My mind wandered all the time as I felt really fatigued if I should tell the boss that I am reporting sick for work on Monday. Feelings like wrapping myself up like a teddy bear and staying home feels like the right thing to do as I should not feel bad about falling sick and taking medical leave if need be.
I struggled with my mind wandering if my class would go haywire if I am absent for some time. And I stopped this wandering mind its tracks and just faced up to the inevitable need to disappear from work and sleep.
My message to the boss goes like this, “As I am having a flu now, may trouble you to find a relief on Monday if I am still unwell. I might need to see a doctor tomorrow. If (conditional) I am well on Monday, I will still go to work. Thank you for making any arrangements for relief in advanced.”
