    I'm not feeling so great. It might just be my allergic reaction to work though.

    What's really bugging me now is the constant stink of cleaning fluids.

    Thanks for the cold/flu symptoms list!

    Work

    Symptoms

    Paycheck - Receive on a regular basis and wonder where the hell did it all go?
    Co-workers - Like 'em, hate 'em, clean the knife off after each use.
    Boss - How did this fool manage to get this position?
    Customers - Are they necessary? They aren't always right.
    Computers - An Atari would be more productive.

    Treatment

    Lottery
    Publisher's Clearing House
    Bingo

    Prevention

    Marry rich
    Divorce rich
    Live with your parents forever

    Complications

    Promotions - Might give you a sense of pride and purpose.

    Didn't get swabbed for it, but my doctor thinks I have it. She wouldn't test me since it was past the 48 hours of onset. Started out as a cough and eventually moved into my chest by Friday. Coughed and coughed and coughed all day Friday and most of Saturday. Completely exhausted. Ran a temp around 100 the whole weekend. Felt like someone hit me with a 2 by 4. Being treated for my secondary symptoms with antibiotic and prednisone. I'm off work til Wednesday.

    Talked to my mom yesterday and she said the pediatricians are telling parents not to bring their sick kids to the doctor. That would suck.

    Nothing you can really do for them except keep them comfy anyway. They just don't want your sick kid to pass germs to the kids that are their for normal check ups. One of mine gets a flu shot because she was so tiny, but it doesn't always work.

    It obviously didn't work with me this year, although it's nothing like the influenza I got less than 10 years ago that literally put me down for 2 weeks. I get the flu shot because I have asthma which usually turns into bronchitis.

    Seems to me that got it ass backwards. Let the sick kids come in and get help and let the well kids reschedule their "normal" checkups.
