Sorry I've not posted more, but on Friday/Saturday, I appear to have picked up the mother of sinus infections or something. My throat has been so sore I can't swallow, that lump sensation was so bad that I was gagging when trying to talk, throat was swollen...
Bad enough I took myself to the hospital around midnight Saturday night/Sunday morning (only because they were the only option available). Doc said it could be a bacterial infection due to the new climate and the like. Gave me a prescription for an antibiotic. Also taking Claritin generic to help with the waterfall post nasal drip. Been pretty ugly the last few days.
Told my supervisor and he talked with the head Ranger and just to be safe, I'm not going in today. I believe I'll be doing some of my onboarding stuff from home instead. He's currently checking to see what all we can do.
Hopefully this'll clear up in a few days and we can get at it - first couple weeks were going to be familiarization stuff anyway, so I'm not really missing anything because of this. They're prioritizing telework anyway, so there are only a few people at the station anyway.
I'll keep you folks posted!
UPDATE: Good news is I got a note from a doctor saying I'm not contagious, so I can actually go into work tomorrow. Hooray!
