further notes on my new job
I have been sick since the week before I started my new job. It started with allergy problems the last week of my old job. The weekend before my new job started it turned into a sinus infection. I was so sick my first two days. I think both nights I went to bed at 7:30. Every night I would come home exhausted. Not only were my first two days slightly stressful but I also walked a ton! You know how when your sick even going up the stairs will tire you out and make you sweat? Well both days I had to walk MANY MANY MANY blocks to get my new state ID. The first day the line was so long I couldn't get it before 5:00 so I had to go back a second day. People at my new job have not actually heard my real voice yet. Instead they get to listen to a very horse sounding version. Then there is the coughing. The coughing that just does not end. It is so much fun to having these hacking/gagging coughing attacks while you are surrounded by people you don't know. Well luckily I do know a few. I just keep telling everyone I a not contagious because I have been on antibiotics a few days. I have found that the people at this job are not quite so paranoid about getting sick like the people at my last job. At my last job no one EVER wanted to get sick because it was too hard to take a day off. One day off would put you behind for weeks. At this job someone actually said to me it would be okay if I was contagious because they wouldn't mind a sick day. . .I think I am going to like my new job!
