Sick again- this is getting a little old

So, I’ve been working at this job for six weeks.

The second week I worked here, I caught a cold. Managed to batter it into submission with echinacea, zinc, and vitamin C, but I felt really wretched for a couple of days.

The fourth week I worked here, I caught a cold. Managed to batter it into submission with echinacea, zinc, and vitamin C, but I felt really wretched for couple of days.

I’m coming down with a cold. I’ve got the echinacea, the zinc and the vitamin C… but I feel really wretched.

This is getting repetitive.

I propose an international boycott of all respiratory viruses for the duration of winter, or at least until I make probation and can call in sick without risking losing my job.

Thea, I know how you feel.

It seems like I’ve been constantly sick since sometime in August. Making me crazy, it is.

The kicker was last week. A week ago yesterday, my husband caught a nasty stomach virus. Then my son got it on Tuesday. I started feeling pretty oogy on Thursday (spent a lot of time in the bathroom), but felt much better on Friday (thank goodness, or I wouldn’t have been able to attend Friday’s Ann Arbor Dopefest). Then, at about 3 am Saturday morning, I woke up and just knew I was going to hurl. I did, and yesterday I felt much better.

This is really getting tiresome.
