bad luck to get sick right after starting the new gig. if it makes you feel any better, my brother has MRSA in his ankle and my friend had a case of strep so bad last week that when he went to the doctor, the doctor went and got all the medical staff together to look at his throat. it literally bled. and he had a 104-degree fever.
holy shit @ the strep story.
growing up i had strep at least 6 times, iirc.. sounds like they were on the verge of death.
as for staph/mrsa.. remember i got a staph infection once after dunking at my favorite indoor gym? Then Lance sent me bactroban, .. went through a few tubes of that before it finally disappeared. Sometimes my left armpit starts feeling weird, which is the area that I had that staph infection, and it always freaks me out.. makes me think it's somehow lying dormant in my body ready to wreck me again. I looked it up recently actually .. I dno, some sources say it can linger in your body for a very long time.

Yeah it's definitely not a very good look having a day off after just 1 week. I was hoping that I'd recover over the weekend, but I didn't recover in time. I'll be at work tomorrow. Sorry to hear about your friend and your brother. It's ironic that you mention MRSA because that's my new job- booking surgeries at a Hospital. I don't know all the terminology, but I've been taught that if somebody is a MRSA they have an infection and need to be placed last on the theatre list.
I guess that's why I'm just so disappointed with this job is that its in health care so unless you're a doctor or a nurse it's a real dead end job. My plan is to work here for 6 months and then transfer to another Government department hopefully in Treasury or Finance, but even in a social area like Housing etc. would be fine because at least there is chances for career progression.
did you contact it at your work (or not sure)?
The sickest I EVER got was when I worked at Memorial Sportscenter which was affiliated with a hospital.. I somehow managed to get "whooping cough" in that environment. Uber sterile environments can be scary af .. if things survive there, you know they are legit.
pc!
