A sipdown! (M: 18, Y: 18)
Why obviously sick people use public transport? To spread the germs?

Anyway, I haven’t slept much today (roughly 5 hours); draining day at work; and that public transport issue meant a few things. I am really tired and exhausted. Headache if I didn’t took the pill, so some extra healthy (full of vitamins) tea definitely wouldn’t hurt. And I need to finish a few teas as I bought 8 new Basilur teas today.

This one is quite pleasantly tart, somehow fruity. I don’t need to keep it in my cupboard, but not bad. Somehow generic, though.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more

This seems to be a universal problem. Maybe people can’t take sick days? Maybe they just don’t care?

I know social and workplace policies are different in other parts of the world, so the reasons may be different as well, but in the States a big part of it is, yes, a lot of people can’t take sick days and also don’t have cars/can’t afford to take a cab.

But also that still sucks, for them and for you, and I’m sorry you had a rough day!

We have “sick leave” here, which means that doctor makes you stay at home. You get 60 per cent of average wage during those days, which can be critical for some, I assume.

Oh no, I hope you feel better soon.

Feel better soon Martin!

Thank you everyone. Feeling and working as intended and expected.

Yes, for me I live in the USA but do not get sick time so my very limited Paid Time Off has to be used for personal/holidays/sick/etc. and I only take public transit, so yeah, it is what it is.

Sorry you are not feeling well Martin!!

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
