    I wish I were sick.

    Tip 309: Don't Teach unless you manage to have decent people who are your administators and live in or near Lake Wobegone where all the children are above average.

    It's two or three years since I had any time off. The last time was with labyrinthitis - an inner ear infection that affects your balance. It makes you lurch about like a drunken man, which would be interesting except you feel vomity with it.
    Two or three years? You should be sick more often. I've been trying to shake off an infection for the last two/three weeks, it keeps coming back, it's cost me £45 in antibiotics this month alone and I've not been able to have a drink since Saturday.

    In the UK we have "sick pay" if we're sick. I don't know what your system is Qimi. My brother used to count his annual sick pay allowance leave for the year as part of his holiday as a matter of course. He did have a crap job job though.
