Maximising the entitlements

Guess what? I'm on leave again. Medical leave. The doctor called my case stress-induced stomach problems.

So he gave me two types of pills, one for stress, one for stomachache.

I am keeping the anti-stress one.

I dont know since when had I become such a whiner, taking mcs on whim. I confided to lyn abt tt, and she laughed and said herself too, and many people in the office too. It is very true, that made me feel a morsel better, but not much.

It is not the fact that everyone else is doing it or everyone else is not doing it, it is the fact that why am I so in need of mcs? Do I detest the job so much that I manage to justify my every medical leave within 10mins of waking up and sitting on the toilet bowl?

There are times when I am sick beyond words and I definitely need a mc, but there are other times when I am just sick of work, and a stomachache can explode into a stress related ailment.

I think my doctor can see that I am not actually physically ill, but more spiritually worn out. Maybe it is as important to be spiritually healthy, so my doctor didnt dismiss my tiredness.

I've spoken to some of my colleagues, and a few of them are equally sick of the job. Some others which I thought are enjoying the job is secretly loathing it, it seems. Lyn said so.

I pray that I will enjoy myself enough to not take so much mc in my next job. I dont usually take mc on my job, almost never, and my attendance in school had always been almost perfect despite stress.

Let's hope it is like what lyn said, it is the job culture here. It is only unique here so I wont be doing it in my next job. Another frightening thought is, am I such a follower that people take mc I must also take? Really trying to max out the entitlements hor.
