unplanned off days

My company gave me a 5 days of disaster paid leave and I need to spend it by the end of next month. But since we have a minimum work hours policy, if I were to use all my leave next month I would've need to do at least 40 hours overtime. And that's why I ended up using three days leave for the rest of the week.

My cold isn't getting any better since last weekend. The temperature change is CRAZY. One day I was still sweating but just a few days later I couldn't even drink tap water without hurting my throat.

It seems I will be spending the remaining of the week getting a lot of bed rest.
