Laryingitis...or however you spell it.

Yes I have that. My voice is gone. Literally - gone. I can almost whisper, but that takes a lot of work. I called my boss today and said I'd be in around noon - she replied with "WHY?" I thought she was in an off mood and angry I was not going to be coming in....I responed with something like - "well by then I should be able to get there...." or something to which she interrupted me and said I shouldn't come in at all. I told her I would think about it and call her back later. She told me again to stay home and rest.

I called her back about 11 - knowing there was no way for me to go in since I couldn't even say hello to someone who walked through the door. Frustrated since I'm already taking off Friday - now this makes for a 3 day week. But, I can't speak - and being a receptionist for a good part of the day - this is a good/important part of the job. At 11 when I talked to her she told me not to come in tomorrow unless I was better. I told her I wouldn't, she responded with "Promise!" and I said okay I won't come in unless I'm better. So I'm going to be calling in tomorrow as well. This makes for a 2 day week - frustrating because I do not feel sick, but I know I can't do the job. I'm irritated because it makes for a 2 day week this week, 3 days the next, 4 days the next.....and I don't get holiday pay or sick days. UGH!

Oh well. Luckily things are fine and Lando is working this week. He told me not to worry and just take it easy. So - that is the plan. In the meantime I have gotten a lot of things around here done and it is good to have the break.

I sure hope I can talk on Wednesday. We bought some tea today and I have been drinking that and trying my hardest not to speak. If I happen to wake up cured in the morning I'll be back at work, but I doubt that. =/
