Sick of Work

c9(I wonder if I could win a prize for using "sick" in so many journal entries.)
I'm not teaching today, and I'm not teaching tomorrow. And some people at my office are, not maliciously, making me feel guilty about being sick. I HATE feeling like my job is at risk because I have a sore throat. FUCK! Just pisses me off. Everyone is overworked and stressed, so tomorrow my scheduler is actually going to teach my course for me. She actually is an instructor, covering for our regular schedule who's on maternity-leave.
Normally I'd just give in and teach, but I know that if I do I'll end up staying sick longer. I taught sick last week and here I am on more drugs. ARGH. So I stand my ground and tell them 'sure, I'll be at work for most of the day, and sure, I'll do other work, even some of your work, but I can't teach.' And now, the fact that I'm here now for part of the day, and willing to be here for part of the day tomorrow, is likely leading some to question whether I'm sick at all. It's happened before.
I really hope we end up deciding on the UK. I need to get out of here, I think.
