I couldn't go to work feeling so sick

I rarely miss a day of work, but I messed all day Tuesday and Wednesday because I was feeling very sick. I felt fine on Monday when I went to sleep, but I woke up on Tuesday with a headache and a sore throat. I thought it might be allergies, so I took a hot shower and a Claritin. I thought that a hot shower would make me feel better, but I wanted to crawl back into bed after I was clean. I didn’t feel energized and awake like normal and I knew that I was getting sick. I called my boss at work and I told him that I could not make it that day. He was surprised and agitated. He scheduled a boiler repair that morning and I am one of the only people with experience. My boss begged me to complete the boiler repair and then go home for the day, but I knew I couldn’t leave my bed. I honestly hate to disappoint my boss and I wanted to complete the boiler repair, but I absolutely and positively felt awful. My boss moved some things around and he found another heating and cooling technician to complete the boiler repair. I missed work on Tuesday and Wednesday, but Thursday morning I felt a lot better. I think I needed a couple of days in bed with my feet up. After 48 hours of rest and relaxation, my headache was gone and my sinuses were clear. I felt like a million bucks again and I was ready for whatever work challenges were ahead.
