a lost voice

my voice is gone from my throat.

and i have 5 full days of literacy tests to conduct this coming week. 10 hours of talking x 5.

can't re-schedule, can't find replacement. all these are unspokenly impossible.

thing is, i dun even mind going to work when i'm sick. i'd really love to conduct the tests. and i'd have to anyway. cos there's just no way for me to skip these appointments.

but how on earth am i going to conduct the tests now? i want to but my voice (or the lack of it) doesn't permit. i need a crystal clear voice to conduct the tests.

i wish i'm just sick but still have my voice.

this is one time when i'm feeling totally at a loss, stuck in a situation whereby there's nothing i can do. i can't go on mc, but yet there's no way i can conduct the tests without a voice.

life's just great.
