My Physical Health = :(

I have the sorest throat ever. It's been sore for about 6 days now, getting worse by the day. It made work unbearable last night (because of all the dust) so I'm not going back until it's gone for good. I went to the clinic today hoping to get the kind of pills that will just knock me out.

I hate the clinic, fuck that place. It's just a series of different rooms which you wait in. I think Seinfeld explained it the best. You sit and wait with the sick people, then your number is called, then they register you. After that you go back to waiting with the sick people. It's terrible; the space is so enclosed so everyone can share their germs. After sharing germs you go wait in a smaller room. Then the big moment arrives and the doctor looks in my throat and says "ahh, that's awful! gargle with salt 4 times a day and take the antibiotics" so then I leave and have to wait for him to come back out to sign the doctors note. Which I need to prove to work I'm illin, because they're scumbags. They should have to pay for the note, not me. I don't understand the logic in that "oh you're sick and losing money from not going to a shift? Plus you have to pay for medication? Oh, alright, well you better pay 10 more dollars on top of that because we're scumbags. It'll be alright, just don't eat tomorrow" They don't realize how shittily they pay me or something. So after I get the note I have to wait more for the prescription to come through. Fuck.
