Influenza

[Glenr]

I went to bed last night with mild flu syptoms and woke up feeling really bad. I am gonna take the day off work and try and shake it off.

The reason for my post is to rant a little. At least 2 people at work last week where coughing and spluttering with flu like symptoms. What annoys me is that they think it is better to come to work with it.

All that does is spread it to other workmates causing more people to have to take time off. Why oh why dont they take a couple of days off and minimise the risk of spreading it.

I tell you if it was my company I would be annoyed if someone came in and spread germs causing more people to fall ill.

Yeah, I rank that as annoying as someone who smokes sitting right outside the door of a building while they are smoking.

I hate that! And you have to listen to them whine all day about how bad they feel while they spread their germs!

Super quick way to get rid of it.....Chinese Herbs, raw ones - cook em up drink the liquid and the flu is gone gone gone!!

Hope ur feeling better!

Or someone who stops for fast food, then throws the wrapper out in front of my house

Because they wanna play the MARTYR!!!  "Oh, look what a faithful employee I am, everybody."

I am soooo with you, Glen 

I have had this same pet peave when I attended college and grad school....people coming to class when they should OBVIOUSLY be in bed.....

And, yeah, at the work place....same thing, man.
