Post by: M3ta7h3ad on September 01, 2006, 17:57:15 PM

What do you do to make yourself feel better when you have manflu? :)

At the moment im sitting with a hot cup of black sugary coffee, but its too hot to drink and im all bunged up so im feeling like eating ice cream.

Lemsip, bog roll, 4 nubile Swedish nymphettes, massage oil, towels and a sauna..... nice. Or what bear calls "a tuesday evening".

Failing that, sleep and fluids... oh, the lemsip and bogroll too.

Cheers
Tongy

A nasal decongestant may help, relief of swollen sinuses can ease the pain of manflu.

Well appears to have taken a turn for the worse, Ive chills and shivers now, but my forehead is plastered in sweat.

I feel really sick trying to eat or drink anything, joints are all aching, and when I cough my brain seems to bounce around in my head adding "stabs" of pain to the constant headache pain.

I can no longer breathe through my nose and my throat is having spasms like trying to swallow but theres nothing there, and its red raw, or at least feels that way.

EVEN!!! MY FINGERS HURT TYPING!.

Im the only one in the office, and im the only one who is willing to work weekends, even to call in sick I would be expected to be up and working at 9am only with the phones diverted through to my mobile and working from home. Oh and I dont get paid for that.

I would have told them to bog off and went elsewhere if thats the case.

I reckon you should call in sick & turn your mobile off and go to bed then

If youre the only one willing to work weekends then youre pretty valuable to the company - they wont sack you over a sick day (well Id hope they wont).

sounds like they take advantage of you a bit at work - tis good to put the effort in but not to the point where they are thinking oh metalhead wont mind working this weekend or metalhead is a bit ill but Im sure he wont mind taking phonecalls at home


- oh yeah - get some lemsip + drink lots of fluids + maybe have a few hot orange squash drinks with honey added.

Does sound like you get raped at work tbh - need to manage your own career - there are always other jobs out there.

Yup this place sucks for work. I dont have a formal contract either.

But then theres nowhere else that pays me Ã,£7 an hour to talk idiots through how to save a word file (this guy is studying an MCSE and he got scared when he saw a progress bar on his screen ffs!) or install office, and is going to be say 5 miles from my new house im moving into tomorrow, easily rideable by bike.

fair enough - Im not suggesting that you stop working there  - just dont let them push you around too much - i.e. phone your boss up - tell him youre ill and going to bed then switch off your mobile

one of the most improtant things to do is to get some rest - if you dont then the flu will last longer.
