Kristin, you can't work with pneumonia, I'm sure your principal must know that.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Our wings are not tired.
Kristin, listen to the hivemind.
My uncle landed in the hospital for 10 days last year with pneumonia. And add to that his absence of health insurance (he quit his well-paying job to go back to college and graduates next month!), and it was a $30k illness.
You can't work with pneumonia. Are you salaried? If so, you stay home and they can't doc ya. Although now that I think about it, you have a teacher's union right? Or does that change with private schools?
Damn. Don't answer any of my questions - I am far too curious and you need and deserve rest. I am SO sorry that you are so sick.
Thanks!! I hope so. They received over 100 resumes and I was already on the list before I called! She said I must have read her mind!
I am so excited for you!

Ooof. So, last week, we had a trainer who was pretty good, really, about the fact that we were all very experienced and didn't want to have to get the super basic parts of the training. Just the "how do we do it differently here than at some places".
This week, a different trainer. And OMG, my class may kill her before we're done. YEEESH. Of course, the trainer from last week told her we're very vocal and interactive....and then we were so annoyed by teh new woman that we sat there and stonily stared at her all morning. Eesh.

Kristin, please do not overtax yourself with pneumonia. I know this may mean unpaid leave, but... ...it's pneumonia.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Betsy had pneumonia a couple of years ago, I think, and it's no joke.

The status is NOT quo.
Talked to the boss. She's being very nice. I don't know if I'll be docked or not, but she definitely doesn't expect me to come in when I'm this sick. So it's looking like I may be back on Thursday. Maybe.
Laga, thanks, but you and ND should still get together. My sick doesn't need to hold you two back.

Thrive to spite them
It can be really bad Kristen. I had it, well I had bronchitis and didn't take care of myself and then had pnemounia. I was sick for a month, just about, and then I went back to work right away and nearly passed out and had to spend another bit of time recovering.
So take care of yourself now so it doesn't linger.

Kristin, does your school offer short-term disability for being sick more than five days in a row?
