And worst of all, it finally decided to get cold and wet here this week, after a week and a half of unseasonably gorgeous January weather. I feel your pain, man.

Yeah, I’m back at work today after being out for two days. (screw you virus for making me waste TWO PTO days and screwing up my Sunday) And I still feel pretty shitty and snotty (my nose hurts) and glandy and hot and bleh. I just wanna go home and sleep…

[I agree](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=451447). Seriously, this thing seems to be all over the place, and it’s way stronger than your average cold. It’s made me contemplate just how sick one can feel from a simple rhinovirus, as opposed to more abstruse viruses or bacterial complications.
