Just about everyone at my work has called out sick recently. Even managers. But not me, I've gotten more shifts because of it!
Some have had the throwing up flu, while others have had severe colds. One of my managers was just diagnosed with pneumonia today. Have I mentioned recently how much I hate winter? It's the season to be sick. Add that to my list of reasons to hate winter.
When everyone around me is sick, here is what I do to prevent me getting sick. It doesn't ALWAYS work, but most of the time it does.
- I wash my hands every chance I get at work.
- I sanitize my register a few times during my shift if I am cashiering.
- I try not to touch anywhere on my face.
- I blow my nose when it starts to run.
- If I'm starting to cough for any reason besides choking, I eat a cough drop.
- When my throat starts to get sore and doesn't go away after eating or drinking, I take theraflu cough medicine.
- If I feel something coming on I sleep extra, and stay away from sugar and any carbonation (even though I don't really drink soda anyway).
So far this season I haven't been sick. I'm super excited, and I hope I can keep it up!!!
