eurgh....hates being ill

[asterix]

Got something similar myself. So bad I even made an appointment to see my doctor. ..

..he sat down and wrote out a prescription, and folded it up and gave it me, and I put it in my pocket and went out.
I did not open it. I took it to the nearest chemist's, and handed it in. The man read it, and then handed it back.
He said he didn't keep it.
I said: "You are a chemist?"
He said: "I am a chemist. If I was a co-operative stores and family hotel combined, I might be able to oblige you. Being only a chemist hampers me."
I read the prescription. It ran:
"1 lb. beefsteak, with
1 pt. bitter beer every 6 hours.
1 ten-mile walk every morning.
1 bed at 11 sharp every night.
And don't stuff up your head with things you don't understand.
"I followed the directions, with the happy result — speaking for myself — that my life was preserved, and is still going on.

Corrective? You slaving away at a certain Oriental manufacturing plant, then? Been there, done that...

Pffft! I'm still in bed! I don't have a cold as such, just a horrible headache and I got very little sleep last night too.

That'll be the wine.

Hehe, well I never have sick time off, I have a really busy important weekend and work stresses me out and the AC is always soooo hot....pfft....sod that...

Sorry to disillusion you but AC doesn't give you a cold! You get a cold when you pick up viruses that other cold sufferers (who should have stayed at home so as not to spread their viruses) on your hands and then you rub your eyes or nose and the virus goes straight into your nose and throat where it multiplies in the warm damp conditions. That's why you should wash your hands before you sit down at your desk to work and on arriving home; it reduces the chance of infecting the things you touch with viruses. Oh and stop rubbing eyes and nose, obviously.

Thank you, I didn't say the AC gave me my illness, just that when I have a fever, its just like...makes me feel so hot when I don't need to be plus it does spread germies around! all that oscillating action...

I'm Mr OCD at work cleaning phones and keyboards!

I also have my own mug and always make my own drinks as some of my colleagues hygiene is a bit errr.....questionable!

On the plus side I rarely pick up colds!

Yeah, your right, I need to take my own bottle to work for water and squash.....everyone in the office is getting it at the minute - I feel bad for not being there but I sit next a 5 month pregnant lady so don't want her getting ill from me. So I am being responsible
