Oh, You Look Much Better Today!

Well, it's Saturday and it's been a tough week. Although the Labour Day weekend was last weekend, making this a short work week, MY week was even shorter. I hate calling in sick to work, especially when I'm completely engulfed in the middle of a project that I'm enjoying, but it was quite mandatory.

Tuesday night, after work, I was watching television and that's when the body aches started - a sure sign that I was coming down with something. An hour later, after getting ready for bed, I was sweating and shivering myself to sleep. At this point, there's no doubt in my mind that I'm sick and I need to fight it with every possible shred of energy I have.

Two days of sleeping in my apartment and I was tired of these four walls. I was ready to bust out - even if I wasn't feeling better (although I was). I returned to work on Friday to play catch-up with everything I had missed over the previous two days.

It's funny though - well, people are funny. When I returned to work on Friday, people welcomed me back and added a comment that left me thinking.

"Oh, you look much better today!"

Thinking back on the week, Tuesday was a normal day for me and I didn't feel sick until Tuesday night when I was home alone. Nobody saw me Wednesday or Thursday and by Friday the comment started.

What do they mean by this if they never saw me sick in the first place?
Hmm, should I be offended?
Oh well, such is life!
