So I fill out the TimeSheet for this paid period and realize I took 5 sick leaves for last paid period. That's 5 days off out of 10 work days (2 weeks, 5 work days a week). This came as such a shock because I think I never took that many sick days before. And I was really sick, not like I purposely pretend to be sick and stay at home or something.
2 out of 5 sick days were taken last week since I just got bakc from Taiwan. 3 days were taken this week since I was seriously ill and almost pass out at work. Someone noticed I didn't look too good (in her words, I almost fainted) so I got sent home.
It's a revealation I guess. My body is trying to tell me: hey bud, we're not as young as we used to think. It's true. I begin to notice I cannot have late nights like what we used to have in college, playing games all night and stuff. Even though I feel my mind is growing stronger with each contemplation, my body does not strengthen as easily. I guess it's time to lay down a strict schedule for light exercise and carefully prepared nutrion meal. Time to take that pill and start jogging.
I think for years I try to maintain a healthy mind. It's time to pay more attention on the body before it starts to fall apart.
