I haven't been able to do my job all week, but I've continued to come in (no sick time left, plus the absences would be unexcused since they're not FMLA-related and I can't risk losing my job when I feel fine but just can't speak properly). I have a sinus/cold/allergy thing/whatever, and after being on the phone for about an hour and a half, I'm no longer able to speak in complete sentences without cracking, coughing, etc. After staying home last Thursday and this past Monday, this is the fourth day I haven't been on the phones the whole day (Friday, Tuesday, Wednesday and now today).
I'm leaving early today to (finally!) go see an ENT, but I just feel like such a tool for not being able to do my job. They've been keeping me busy with off-the-phone work and projects, but still...
