On Medical Leave today and tomorrow. Am still coughing badly. It is so bad that I can't get to sleep at night. I had mentioned to Charmaine that I would go back office tomorrow but she is such a sweetie, telling me to rest while she covers my duties.

Of course, she reminded me that both of us have to be healthy on our birthdays! Mine is this Saturday and hers is this Sunday. We are likely to be partying and some of my friends joining too. I really do hope I can recover by then, else I won't be able to enjoy.

I know I gonna miss Charmaine. She tendered last Friday and although everyone thinks that we are all too frustrated and overwhelmed with stress, the truth is that she is just not interested in this industry. Hence, this is a good time for her to explore and do something she prefers, with better remuneration of course. Serving the 2 months notice, her last day should be in mid May and I sure hope that we would have found someone for her by then so that she can do a proper handover.

I reckon the ambience in office is quite tense and everyone must be wondering if I will be the next to leave (since I am so close to Charmaine). Honestly, I don't have an issue with my job scope or the industry I am in. However, the stress is certainly mounting and not within my control. I am no quitter and as far as I am concerned, if we are working together to find a solution, I have no thoughts of resigning. But I think it will be quite chaotic if both Charmaine and me tendered together.

Anyway, on a happier note, was glad that I took half day leave yesterday to go for my facial, manicure & pedicure. I was coughing so badly at facial that my beautician commented that my lungs gonna pop out. Anyway, was glad I went as my face felt much cleaner after that and boy, was I happy I did manicure & pedicure too. Did simple nail art on my thumb nails. Cute!
