I'm sick.... Of all the times, it has to be NOW. I hate to admit this but I have to say that bad luck has been tagging close to me ever since I started work. Always have incidents somehow or another, a cut here and a bruise there, without even me knowing the cause sometimes. As if things aren't bad enough, I have to be down with a serious flu, accompanied by cough and fever. WTH..... The worst of all things is, I have to work from tomorrow to Sunday. I'm not trying to skive or what, but I really want to take the whole weekend off. I paid more than $200 for the stupid D&D and if I'm sick and weak and can't turn up, my precious money will go down the drain. But why is it that this weekend we are short of staff?! It's just not my day (or days, in this case)... I want to take leave and rest at home, but I feel like I can't. I already took tomorrow off, so Saturday I die die also must go for at least 1 shift. Or rather, Saturday I can only go for 1 shift. If I were to work the full 12 hours, I'll just drop dead. I would rather rest and recover, then if I'm feeling better on Sunday, I can work. Otherwise, I might really just have to take the whole weekend off. I don't care about the money. If it's money issue, my $200++ for D&D is worth much more. And I seriously hate to let the whole amount go down the drain. Even if I turn up, in the ill state, I can't enjoy myself, and I'll just probably look more like Rudolf the reindeer rather than a 'purple dinosaur'. But damn, it's the responsibility that haunts me. What if they can't find anyone to relieve my shifts? I wish I don't have to think about all these, then maybe I can just go ahead and apply for leave, rather than being torn between responsibility and health. But hey, isn't health more important? If I died (touchwood), how am I supposed to fulfil my responsibilities at all? Haha... But then back to the problem of staff shortage.... Argh!!!!
