Getting sick

Getting sick is absolutely the worse thing that can happen to the working man. It prohibits his ability to function properly and thus making himself a liability to himself as well to his co-workers around him directly or indirectly. It may not always be his fault but what can we do ? Life isn't fair. It should always be our responsibility to keep ourselves healthy.

I'm starting to get sick right now and I don't know why. I have a runny nose and I'm starting to develop a cough. It must be something in the air and I'm sure I just "picked" this up from an unknown source worse/better off than me. Good thing it did not really bother me when talking to the customers today, only the occasional hold button when I needed to sneeze or my nose gets too stuffy.

A few days ago there was this customer who I couldn't understand because she was sneezing and coughing every 5 seconds. I tried explaining to her that it would be best if she wrote me an email but sadly she wanted the concern done and over with. I felt really bad for her since she seemed to be in so much pain and anguish. I just closed our conversation with a "get well soon , you should go see a doctor" remark and for a moment, all the sickness in her voice vanished when she said thank you. Made the 30 minute call worth the while.
