Unhappy Hard to work at a call center when
Yup you guessed it - when I can't talk! I woke up Sunday with a scratchy throat, as the day went along it got worse.

Woke up Monday to a really bad scratchy throat but went to work anyway. After 3 hours of dealing with trying to talk I finally got a sale but ended up having the manager finish the call because I couldn't stop coughing. Needless to say he sent me home.

Tuesday, could only talk in a whisper. Didn't go to work since I couldn't do my job. But, did manage to make it to first day of classes.

Wednesday, went to doctors. Another sinus infection plus tonsilitis. Wrote me a note to be out of work the rest of the week. Plus another round of antibiotics. I am so sick of being sick!!

Today and feeling a little better. Got up to go in for class - first class cancelled (found out when I got that - didn't that tick me off!) And wrote a note to second class that I wasn't going to be there.

My voice is back a little as long as I don't talk to much! I think DBF is enjoying the quiet but sick of sleeping on the couch for he doesn't want to catch what I have.

I hear you on the sick of being sick!

Yeahbut! Sorry you are sick again. Stress? Ya think?!? You need some relief from worrying about not working. Hopefully you'll get back on your feet and get ahead. Hope the sinus infection clears up soon and you're back to your ol' bouncy self again!

Feel better, my little lambchop, don't forget to gargle with saltwater. Salt is the one thing you'll never lack in this life.

Char, you just can't seem to get a break can you? I hope this is a short lived illness and you can go back to work soon. It sounded like you were really enjoying the job and the people there. But, like you said, you can't do telephone work if you can't talk!
