I've not been able to properly rest; my boss and her boss have both been on annual leave these past couple of weeks; nobody else to cover so I've not been able to stop working completely. I can manage about a third of a day's actual work but I'm still keeping an eye on things the rest of the day.
Sorry for being blunt, but this strikes me as idiotic. This is a deadly illness with potentially life changing long term impact.
Sod your job and look after you health.

Sit rep, day 10: Nasal congestion has passed but my head still feels congested if that makes any sense? Head and face feel hot all the time and still have pressure behind my eyes that builds into a stonking headache throughout the day. Lost sense of taste and smell 4 days ago which is so strange, genuinely can't smell or taste anything. Silver lining is I'll stop gorging on Crosstown doughnuts I guess because what's the point. Energy levels are still rock bottom.
My partner's lows were worse than mine but she snapped out of it after a week. I think part of the reason this has dragged on for me is that I've not been able to properly rest; my boss and her boss have both been on annual leave these past couple of weeks; nobody else to cover so I've not been able to stop working completely. I can manage about a third of a day's actual work but I'm still keeping an eye on things the rest of the day.
