You know you're really sick when.....

• On day 5 of a new job you tell them you're crook (Aussie slang for sick) and go home
• On day 6 you text your boss telling her you're still sick
• On day 5 & 6 you don't feel guilty about calling in sick
• On day 4 you go to bed at 8 pm
• On the morning of day 5 you sit outside on the jet cat because you think sitting inside might make you chuck (yet, somehow you convince yourself that that's normal....)
• On the morning of day 5 you take twice as long to walk from the ferry to your office because during/after your coughing jags you stop and lean against office buildings to keep yourself upright/regain your strength
• On day 5 you arrive at work and run your hands through your hair only to discover that the hair closest to your head is soaking wet - this being from fever seeing as you (a) completely blow dried your hair before leaving your apartment and (b) had it 'blow dried' on the morning jet cat because you were sitting outside.
• When your boss calls, you actually agree to go see a doctor (something I hate to do)
• You think you've finished throwing up, but once you stand up to rinse your hot face off, you realise that, no, really, you're not finished.
• You go to the grocery store to buy ginger ale and milk for tomato soup (feel better foods) and as you're leaving the grocery store you initially mistake the leaked milk on your pants to be vomit and somehow are not either surprised and/or grossed out, but just resigned...
• You basically sleep for 30 hours straight and still feel too tired to get up
• You get up to go watch tv and discover that you're too sick to watch tv.

Too sick to watch tv??????? Now, that's sick!
