The Plague

[mrlich]

Ok - there are hacking, wheezing, phlegm cake hurling sickos in all directions. I'm not the sort of guy who worries about this sort of thing generally. I have a high constitution, so it doesn't really bother me. However, since I'm hearing all this hacking and wheezing in all directions I just know that I'm going to wind up catching what all these inconciderate fucks have.

If you're sick stay home. That's why they make sick days.

Jerks.

I'm a contractor. Our company took away our sick days.

So, now, when a contractor gets sick... he comes in. And affects all the "red badges" (read = regular employees).

Hehehehehe...

*knocks on wood*

Surprisingly I have managed to dodge all of these plagues lately. Granted, I end up with other, worse (IMO), obscure issues... but still...

My sweetie gets a certain number of "days off" a year, sick or vacation. Since he's new at this company, I think it's something paltry like 10-12 days.

He doesn't like going in when sick, and so ends up taking very little vacation so that he'll have sick days.

The trial attorneys in my office don't call out unless they're bleeding out the eyes or can't stand up. But we have 2-4 person offices, rather than a cube farm, so the coughing is spread out a bit.

Vit. C, Trader Joe's Lemon Ginger Echinacea juice, and a warding box of Kleenex.

Whip out the Airborne, beb. Better head it off at the pass!

You're kidding, right? Did you see the big settlement offer for the stuff? Doesn't work. At all. Even I was shocked that something went through the courts so fast.

I think that there's a misconception out there that Airborne claims to 'cure' the common cold. I've never thought that - only that it's a vitamin boost. Much like taking a multivitamin, just in a different format.

Vitamin C and Zinc. I think that's about what it is.

So far as I know, they never claimed that it 'cures' anything.

Use the stuff all the time, but I don't expect miracles.
