Ooof, same here.
I was working off site on Monday and my bus passed by the office so I thought I'd be clever and drop my laptop off at the office to save myself lugging it home and back the next day.
I think my immune system knew I'd done that, because over the next 6 hours I got rapidly unwell. Woke up this morning crook as a dog, co-worker is happy to pick up the day to day slack as I did the same for her last week - but now my laptop is stuck at the office and I have project work that desperately needs doing. I'm probably just well enough to pop into the office for an hour to grab the laptop. But I'm probably not well enough to be within 1.5m of another person. Certainly not in my office, all 4 of us that work there are immunocompromised. Plus I don't drive so I definitely shouldn't be bringing my germs onto the bus.
It's pretty boring being stuck at home alone sick with no computer.
I might feel so much better tomorrow, this bug came on so quick it might leave just as fast. but I really need to decide now because I'll either have to cancel my class on Thursday and Friday, or organise a sub now.
