Back at work
Sep. 21st, 2009 07:40 amWas off work with a cold(*) Tuesday-Friday of last week. Didn't feel really bad the whole time, but since I always have a ton more sick days than I ever use, and it's not crazy at work, I figured I'd stay home and not get other people at work sick. I tried to isolate myself a bit at home too; slept on the couch mostly, and washed my hands before putting clean dishes away, etc, but Tom may have gotten the cold anyway.
(*) A few people suggest it may have been flu, but I don't think so, or if it is, it's the weakest flu I've ever experienced. Then again, I never bother going to the doctor (so they can say "you've got a cold. Take OTC meds for symptom relief. It'll go away on its own. Gimme $100.") so what I think of as flu is "OMG I wanna die" pain/ache/fever/headache fests. Maybe some flus are like this, just 5 days of lingering mild symptoms.
