Bad Time for Illness!

I've not been in College this week much due to illness, and what a time for it to happen! With a week until deadline, this is exactly what I didn't need! I have got more work done than I expected I would whilst I've been off, but not as much as I could have done in the time if I'd been in College and fit.

Thankfully, I feel that I'm in a position that I needn't worry about the deadline- I don't have masses of work to do this week, it's just a case of ensuring all the references are okay, putting them in the column, and then placing all the images in the correct place on the facing page for A3.

For A4, everything is now done!

I still have both the evaluations to complete and the merit and distinction lists, but I find writing the evaluations relatively painless.

The thing I'm worried about this week is my time sheets- I'm not sure whether the time this week will add up to the 32 hours, with me being ill. This'll be a shame as I've managed to meet my target of fulfilling the whole 32 hours each week, and I don't want to be let down in one week simply due to my illness.

I'm glad I was able to come in for my seminar group this week, it's obviously important, especially this close to the deadline. It took it out of me getting there, but I'm definitely glad I did!

I'm really looking forward to next week, finally handing in A3 and A4 will be a massive weight off my mind, and plus it's then the Christmas break... and you have to love Christmas! Especially the dinner...

In conclusion, I hope that this week I'll be able to find time to both complete my work and also have time for rest and re-cooperation. I think I'll start the latter tonight by sitting in front of the TV watching the Liverpool match, although it might not be too relaxing if things don't go our way!

Can I just say well done for being so on top of your work even though for the past week you've been suffering from illness!

At least now you have plenty of time to write up a good solid evaluation and prepare your merit/distinction evidence.

Is 'man flu' an allowable term in this PC world. Shouldn't it be 'person flu'?

Hi Everyone

As a fellow 'Man Flu' victim [you might remember I suffered terribly at the beginning of the year], I understand the suffering you must have endured during this last week.

You are a brave man.

With regards the term 'Man Flu' is very much allowable as it is a clinically recognised illness; as is ‘Poorly-Tummy’ and ‘Idol-itus’.

Man Flu is the worst, I've suffered from this also, let's all blame this on Michelle, as really we know it is her that started this bout of 'Man Flu'.. which is find rather confusing, lol.

Hope your coming through well, Turners back soon we'll go out for beers. Glad to see all ya works still up to scratch, exactly what I would expect from you Tom.

My tactic to avert the effects of ‘Man Flu’ on the end of assignments is to build your folder of work as you go. This means that if you are struck down by man flu at the end of an assignment, all you have to do it take your work out of the folder, tie it up and hand in.

Trying to put it all together with man flu is not fun, as I found out with our last assignment hand in date.
