SIIIIICK. Urgh.

[beccatoria]

Just a note to apologise for being way behind on all forms of correspondence and comment-repliery, I am SICK AS A DOG.

And basically sick days don't really exist at my school. If I'm sick enough to go to the doctor and get a note, yes, I can get time off, but a) I have to pay to see the doctor and this notion is alien and scary to me b) the doctor probably won't speak good English c) were I in the UK I might go and try to get some cough syrup/night nurse type stuff on prescription at this point because this cold is RIDICULOUS, but it is just a cold, and basically I think the only I'll get told is "VITAMIN C AND SLEEP."

Plus if I ditch off of school, there's no one to cover for me or any such sensibleness. Which is stupid because then we all work when we're sick and give it to each other. Whatever.

Right - I'm off to turn up the heat. And hope I get better over the weekend. *snuffle*

*pathetic look*

Get well soon.

Yeah, the sick policy here is ridiculously absent. We actually get charged money if we're sick. We get paid 18,000 an hour and docked 20,000 if we're not there.

The doctor's here speak decent English. The one we use actually went to school in Chicago. Ask at your school and see if they know someone.

CHEER UP NEWS: My "verb of the day" for my low-level intro class was "clap". HOURS of HILARITY, I tell you.

Sorry you are suffering. :( Don't worry about us, we'll still be here when you feel better. Get plenty of rest. I'd send you meds, but I don't want you to get busted for drug trafficking.

Hope you feel better.

*hugs your pathetic look* Get well soon. And also, send me your mailing address.

Maybe you can give all the kids a cold,

and then, when there's no kids to teach because they're all in bed at home, you can stay home, too? ;-)

Get well soon! (((Becka)))

(I honestly don't understand the 'no sick days' policy. In what way does it benefit a company if sick people come to work and infect all their colleagues etc.? Is that *really* good economic sense? - BTW, I used to have a colleague who didn't believe in staying home when sick, either. I think she thought she'd get fired immediately if she dared admitting to having a cold...)

a) Dude, the doctor costs like W9,000.

b) Probably true, but they know all the medical terms.

c) Seriously, health care is super cheap if you've just got a cold. And trust me, even if it's the sniffles, they'll give you a packet of mysterious vitamins. This is Korea, they <3 medication.
