I am sick

I have a head cold...came down with it in the middle of the week. It is unpleasant and I probably should have taken time off work I went into work. I kept telling myself if I could not focus or concentrate I would let my supervisors know I am sick, having problems focusing, and I would go home. I did not want to leave because I was feeling very ambitious and able to get many projects and duties accomplished. I have been behind and I was able to catch up somewhat so I should take better care of myself but I was happy about how productive my week was while I was sick.

It is crazy how being sick makes me more determined to get things done & work hard. I am definitely not normal nor the average worker in America.

Maybe my behavior & attitude is normal for the American work ethic? We all work too hard and do not take care of ourselves...maybe I have slowly adapted to the workaholic world...interesting to reflect on how I have changed into what I never thought I would become.
