I’ve had a cold all week.
Mar 25th, 2005 by Jason
By March, I’ve usually had 3-4 major colds (and am on a first-name basis with the docs at Patient First), but somehow I’ve managed to skate all the way to now without as much a single sniffle. And I’m quite convinced, if I had just kept my fool mouth shut, I could have made it the entire season.
As I see it, the problem is my boss. Until this winter, in the four years that I’ve worked him, the biotch had never taken a sick day. I’m not sure what happened to him this winter, but he’s the one that’s had 3 major colds, spreading them to rest of our group — minus me. And it’s not like I was wearing surgical masks around these guys, so while I’m at a loss to explain how I pulled this off, you won’t hear me complaining. 
So everyone knows that “the deal” with these type of “backwards” situations is that it’s OK to enjoy them, but you must never speak of them. And damn it, I lasted until the end of March, when, for reasons unbeknowst to me (I understand the deal — I really do), I started bragging about how sick everyone else has been this year, but “not me”. So I’m suffering the wrath of breaking the deal. Fair enough.
Happily, six days into this cold, the symptons are finally leaving. Just in time for a rainy Easter weekend in Hampton Roads. Hippity Hoppity. 
And within the blog, lies the answer.
Sounds like the same thing going around on this side of the US… Those damn travelers must be infecting everyone.
ROTFLMAO @ Carol. Awesome memory.
Wonder if there’s a desktop fondue machine out there? I’m not a huge fan of boogies, but if I could dip ‘em in chocolate…
So I’m at work feeling GREAT today, and another guy in my group (who’s already had this and since gotten better) is starting to cough and feel achey again. I hope this isn’t a “two round” kind of bug!!!!!
You could get some of the pre-packaged chocolate fondue, put it in a coffee mug, and then use one of the desktop coffee warmers to keep it warm…
I’ve got some extra fondue forks if you want them.
Oh, and the ‘awsome memory’ only works for useless obscure information. Things that I need to remember, like where I parked the car, where I put my car keys and company ID, or where I took off my shoes, those things I can’t remember.
