Status Report: Thursday.

Do you know how freaky it is to hear your heart beat in your ear? My left ear (not the one eaten up by evil bacteria, but the one I had the earache in) still hurts sometimes, but thankfully not much.. but the pulse I can hear most of the time, to different degrees, and it kind of creeps me out.

Anyway, mainly what I wanted to say is that I was up at six this morning to go to work, but that plan was foiled by my burning, itching eyes, which appear to be growing in redness again, and my eyelashes were all flaky with dried tears. (Lovely, right?) I think I've actually caught pink eye again from my husband, who caught it from me. Does my bad luck never end this spring? Anyway, I called in sick again rather than risk giving it to all the lovely, lovely people I work with. And to avoid being at work with itchy, burning eyes, I guess.. I'm not entirely noble about it.. :)

so has your leave lasted long enough to apply short term disability instead of using all your sick time?

I don't think that's an option here.. it's not something I've ever heard of, and a brief Google search says that there is no short-term disability in Kentucky. I've been off six days now, not counting the three days I missed two weeks before that. My only concern is really about what happens if I get sick again in another two weeks, but I guess I'll just have to cross that bridge when I come to it. :)

that sucks. i know at my work once you're out so many days in a row it becomes short term disability and no matter how long you're out, only the 1st 5 days come from your sick/vacation leave.
