Stuffy nose. A vague fuzzy, humming in my ears. Sinuses that feel like they're packed with wet cement. A painfully red nose. Headache. Muscle ache. Sore throat. Chills.
The cold and flu season is my bane this year.
I wash my hands. I had my flu shot. I take my vitamins. I even regularly disinfected my desk and keyboard at work.
I've had the flu -- twice. It made at least a couple of laps at our house. Now Monkey Dude and I both have killer colds.
Misery, thy name is GeekGoddess.
As much as I'd like to, I can't call in sick this week. I'm taking next week off, and I hope and pray that I'm well by then. I have a document due tomorrow that MUST get done before I leave.
It feels all the worse to me because before I came back to a regular 9-5 gig, I was healthy. When I was freelancing, I went years without severe colds or flu. One year back in an office and I've been sick more than I can count.
An excellent argument for more telecommuting.
