Working when Sick grrr

This might go down as one of the most embarrassing things to happen to me in a while, and it occurred at work. But to get to that point im gonna have to let you know a few things first. So first thing first, i have caught the Flu, i had it since last Thursday, when it just started as a sore throat and then a temperature which wasnt pleasant while i was working. Good thing the next day was my day off and managed to shift the temperature although all the other flu symptoms decided to go surprise were here too!

Which leads me to my next day at work, leading up to this day i had a restless night of sleep, kept tossing and turning and waking up, and my nose keep bleeding from blowing my nose, but thats not the last time your gonna hear me mention a nose bleed cause it happened 15 minutes before my shift at work, and it wouldnt stop so quickly cause i had previously taken some panadol which i think thinned my blood and resulted in my blood just shooting out like a waterfall, so i ran downstairs pinching my nose with tissue and run out of the store and stood outside to try and cool down while stopping my nosebleed, to which a customer decided to ask me a question, 1. Im not on the clock yet, 2, erm hello cant you see what im doing isnt it obvious with the blood on my fingers and on the tissue, the worst part is the question was so stupid, "do you recycle Christmas cards"

Anyway i managed to stop my nose bleed, and then it started to bleed again 5 mins towards the end of my break 4 hours or so after the one previous. That day wasnt helped by everyone noticing i didn't look well, and saying, "you dont look too good" found it weird none of the managers noticed this but oh well...

thinking about it now i probably should have just called in sick, but i was under the impression as a temp, its probably better to get sent home for being sick rather than calling in sick.


So the next day or Today (Sunday) i made a point of not taking any panadol just so i dont get a repeat of Saturday, and i feel a bit crappy at work, but its manageable cause i didnt really have to do much for the first hour or two cause all the stock was put out prior to me starting my shift, so im helping someone out, when i hear a voice yelling Manny! Manny! theres only one person who yells like that with no shame, and thats my Mum, she there still yelling my name even tho ive already noticed her, and she hands me medicine Lemsip Max Strength and Water, which was great cause it got me through the next few hours struggled a bit when it was wearing off towards the end of the shift, although i did look like a baby infront of my co workers despite getting some Aww's from the girls, its also the yelling of my Mum calling me which is also incredibly embarrassing.

Hopefully i can shift this flu soon, can't be going to work like this,
