Damn urinary tract infection. This time, I'm glad I nipped the bud and managed to take care of it by gushing my system with water. Good thing it worked as it was only in the very initial stages when I discovered it. I guess all teachers face a higher risk of problems like this and also problems like constipation. Yeah. You'll be surprised how these little procedures we all take for granted are actually heavily neglected by the general teaching population. Take me for example, lessons begin at 7:30am and they stretch all the way till 12:35pm with only a half-hour break in between. This half hour break isn't even enough for me to put my things down, drink water, handle problem students, prepare materials for lessons after the break, steal colleague's cookies, etc etc. If I have any pee at all, if its not a pressing problem, I would ignore it and continue with the more important things to handle. The toilet is across the corridor (at least 50m away) and the next nearest is in the next block. That doesn't help the problem at all.

So you see, I do have constipation problems and this urinary tract infection problem sometimes. Occupational hazard, I suppose?
