tonsilitis. rah.

went to the docs this morning and yep, ive got tonsilitis. joy :P

apart from the sore throat, lots of pain when swallowing, the occasional need to spit out a glob of greeny-brown gunge and a general slight 'bleugh' feeling, im not too bad. still using it as an excuse to get off work for a day or two :D

just phoned to say i wouldnt be going in today. i was hoping for someone like Donna who would be quite sympathetic, but nope. i got Mark the big boss manager man himself.
he didnt sound too impressed, but i dont really care.

Me: hi, its Matt. im meant to be doing a 4 - 10 shift this evening, but im not going to be able to because ive got tonsilitis...
Mark: tonsilitis? well you seemed alright yesterday [he pretty much says 'hello' to me when he sees me for the first time and thats it for the shift]

he asked how long id be off for, so i said my next shift is on wednesday so id let him know how i felt in the morning. he told me to let him know tomorrow. ill probably be the same as i am now tomorrow, so looks like ill be having wednesday off too.

now, though, im going to go round the corner and see if the collectable/toy shop has any jobs going....

Managers suck and only tuyrn up when you dont want them to (ala the phone answering bit).

Plus they always think that staff make up reasons to be off. You could ring in sick cause you have been in a car accident, turn up a couple of weeks later with only one arm and they still wouldn't believe you.

I've never had tonsilitus but it sounds wank. Hope the toy shop wants you though. Just try not to hack on anyone in there. It doesn't make a good first impression...

I hate to tell you this Matty but usually, once you've had it, tonsillitus keeps coming back until you have them out.

Oh and by the way...It's Shari!

I've got a blogger account now where I will NOT be writing the name of a certain theatre company so my sweary rants don't show up on Google!

I'm dying to go on your blog and shout the name of the company on the comment board but a)I cannot remember the name of it and b) you can delete the comments anyway thereby making it purely pointless and evil!

Does it have something to do with rabbits?

Bah!

Oh and why is Matty foetus boy???

So far as I know from a natural healh book titled Avoid Addiction to Medicine that tonsilitis caused by infection affecting swelling.In early examination, swelling happens to tonsil gland. The right part is relatively larger although
both of sides indicate enlargement. Its surrounded neck
muscles also indicate existence of difference from normal condition.
