It's getting colder outside, the leaves are changing color, the students are back, and I'm sick. Well, it's either that or I'm allergic to college students. If that's the case, I need to seek out a new profession.
Yup, I have a cold. Literally everyone around me at work is sick, so I guess it was inevitable. Still, I'm a little pissed that my body was so weak. Yeah, I've been working a lot, and have been around these people 24/7, but come on! Did I really have to get sick? Since when am I a follower? HMPH.
As soon as my coworkers started dropping like flies, I started taking Airborne and Zicam. If you don't know me, when I perceive an imminent threat (like a cold), I go into immediate overdrive to eliminate the threat. On Monday, when it was pretty clear I was starting to lose my battle with myself (ooh, that's awkward), I started drinking TONS of water. We're talking about so much water that I could have literally drowned in myself (again, awkward).
Today I took a sick day. I figured it made no sense to go in and get even worse or share with the few remaining people who have evaded this illness. Given that I will be traveling to a conference for work on Saturday, I need to get over this illness STAT so I can fully enjoy the conference.
Who knows though, maybe I really am allergic to the students.
