I'm at home today, too sick to go into work. Nasty head cold, ugh. I suppose that's what I get for trying to "relax" this weekend. For so long I've told myself that I just have to get through the last weekend of the month (with classes and all). So now that I've made it through the weekend, I get hit with a sore throat, watery ears, and a stuffy nose at 4am.
With any other job this wouldn't be a problem. I'd call my employer, use a sick day, and go back to bed. Teaching, however, is different than any other job. After having 4 days of substitutes last week (due to meetings) I was not planning on being gone today. I keep a sub binder ready to go with all my information in it for mornings like these, but for some reason I felt obligated to go in this morning (yes, at 4:30) to get things organized for yet another sub due to my multiple absences last week.
My assistant was out all last week as you know from an earlier post, and she's gone again today, I believe. My poor students!!
Anyhow, wish me well....being at home and using a day of leave is NOT what I had planned. :(
