So I’m sick. Again.
Me: Hi boss, I’m going to be sick for the second day, do you need a medical certificate?
Boss: Well I’d rather you just go to the doctor anyway as you sound pretty shit.
Me: Ok, but she’ll just tell me that I have a cold and tell me to go home and wait it out like every other time.
Boss: Have you considered seeing another doctor?
Later that day…Me: So I went to another doctor.
Boss: Oh yeah? And how did that go?
Me: She went into a massive rant about a new asthma drug that would make everything feel better and gave it to me. Then she told me that I had a cold and/or a virus and that it was hard to tell and to wait it out. I then told her I hadn’t been sleeping well for a month so she gave me highly addictive sleeping tablets.
Boss: Right. Well that’s fantastic *sarcastically*.
Even later that day…
Me: *Talking like an idiot because my nose is so blocked* Will this decongestant have problems with the sleeping pills I’ve been given?
Chemist: Well no, but it will keep you up as it is non-drowsy.
Me: Ok. What can I take as half the other stuff on the shelves can’t be taken wiht an anti-histimine and I take them everyday.
Chemist: What anti-histimine?
Me: Flexo-tab
Chemist: *Blank look*
Me: Its the generic for Telfast
Chemist: Have you considered another anti-histimine, that ones quite outdated.
Me: At the moment I just want a decongestant for when I go to work. I’ll only take it during the day.
Chemist: Well, that one will keep you up which defeats having sleeping tablets.
Me: That’s fine, but what would you suggest instead.
Chemist: Well when I have a cold I just don’t take anything and let it be *condescendingly*. Otherwise you could use a nasal spray.
Me: Thank you *Freaking finally*
