Breaking my first MC record!

Yeah, I actually set a record for myself in terms of MCs in my job. Having worked in my present job for 11 months (almost 1 year already), today is my first time taking medical leave! Not that I have never been ill for these past 11 months... it was more like I wasn't that badly ill that I couldn't come to work.

All these while, I have been planning to achieve a zero MC record for my first year in this job. But with the encouragement of my GF on Thursday evening, together with my ongoing running nose, sore throat and headache (as a result of my running nose, using up to 3 packets of tissue paper in 1 day), as well as the work stress that is piling up on me lately... I decided to raise my hands in surrender and see the GP to get an MC for today.

I have really been tired out over the past few weeks, with so many things happening in my workplace. And now that my HOD resigned and will be leaving this coming Monday, I relented and decided to give myself a short break and just escape from work for 1 day. I badly need to get away from all the mess, confusion and stress at work. Temporarily, just to recharge and refocus before getting back into the fray once again. Need to catch-up on sleep... so I'm not going to set my alarm clock!
