MC is the singaporean term for our SL (sick leave). i think it stands for medical certificate. please correct me if im wrong.
my friends & former office mates could attest that its never my attitude to be absent from work even if im sick. im just not that kind of person. and even the very famous typhoon milenyo did not stop me in coming to work from calamba to alabang even if i had to ride a military truck dressed in slippers, jogging pants & tshirt.
but today, i gave in. had a lot of changes at work for the past 2 weeks, for which i had to adjust to. as an effect of these adjustments i had to work overtime even more that i previous did. this week i had to go home at 10pm mon-wed plus maybe because it has been raining for the past few days, i got under the weather & now i got sick.
i tried to get out of bed this morning although i was feeling a bit funny (that's how they phrase it here if its something out of the ordinary). came to work on time & did my best to juggle phone calls & admin work. but during lunch break i was feeling a bit woozy to went to see the doctor at one of our panel clinics in the area. he thinks its a viral infection or can be the flu, so he gave me a medcert & advised me to go home. what i like about going to doctors here is that i get the meds as well. so u dont have to worry about spending a single cent when you see ur doctor & because we also have a mediguard card as part of our company benefit, i got everything for free.
i went home had a short chat with ate & then i went to sleep at 2pm. woke up at 5:30 feeling rejuvenated, watched tv a bit (was able to catch the season 2 of heroes yahooo!) & now im writing this blog =) in a while ill be sleeping again zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
