<p>So...I started my new job on the 14th. An entire week of intensive training. It went well and I passed with flying colours. Was so looking forward to hitting the phones on the following Monday. Wasn't meant to be though.</p>
<p>Sunday morning I woke up with a cold/bug/virus of some sort and promptly lost my voice. Had to call in sick on my very first day of "official" work. Figures, doesn't it? Had to call in sick on my second day too.</p>
<p>Had Wed. and Thurs. scheduled as my "week-end" so I figured I'd be up and raring to go by the time Friday rolled around. Ha! The best laid plans and all of that. I still didn't have a voice and one can not make a living making and taking phone calls if one can not talk.</p>
<p>Went to the Doc Friday and discovered that I have an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus...which of course does not respond to antibiotics. Doc told me it'd have to just run it's course :(</p>
<p>The wonderful lady at work (is it really work if I haven't even worked yet?) put me on a medical leave of absence. What a way to start a new job! I'm making a super great impression, not!</p>
<p>Oh well, like I told her on Friday....I've got being sick out of my system I should be healthy for years! I've got until Friday to get rid of this virus. I still can't speak in more than a pathetic squeak. I've gone through 3 boxes of herbal tea and a whole hive of honey...</p>
<p>On a "brighter" note DH came home last night and informed me that he bought 2, count 'em, 2, pigs! Thankfully the man he works for is going to keep them at his farm with his pigs in exchange for DH doing the chores occasionally, I just couldn't envision them in with the pigeons! I can almost taste the smoked pork chops now!! How long from piglet to pork chop I wonder?</p>
