Flu

benjymous

Well, I'm back at work having been off with the flu for the last week (and have barely been at my home PC either, bar having it on to play music, so haven't been on CP for ages). Has anyone else noticed an epidemic where they are? Pretty much everyone I know has suffered from it recently, though some get hit harder than others, it seems. -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

These 30+ degrees celsius temperatures seem to keep it at bay. :-D Michael Martin Australia mjm68@tpg.com.au "I personally love it because I can get as down and dirty as I want on the backend, while also being able to dabble with fun scripting and presentation games on the front end." - Chris Maunder 15/07/2002

Yes, there has been one around here recently. :( I think air conditioning makes it worse because the air jsut gets recirculated instead of replaced. The tigress is here :-D

I haven't got flu at the moment (just the sniffles as usual at this time of year :rolleyes: ) but instead I'm in the middle of a three day long migraine that does a real good impersonation of a hangover. X| I get them every few weeks, possibly as a side effect of the HRT. :( Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

A couple types of flu-like ailments have been making the rounds here, one upper respiratory, the other abdominal. It seems that nearly everyone I talk to is recovering from one or the other, or about to come down with it. I've been feeling something trying to taclke me for a week now, but dinosaur that I am, my tiny brain is too slow to realize that I'm dead, so I refuse to lie down. It is ok for women not to like sports, so long as they nod in the right places and bring beers at the right times.

Well, well enough to be bored and fed up as usual. And I used up my entire 45 minute lunch break trying to get my car tax sorted out *sigh* I think I just want to go home and lie down -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Dunno, I'm feeling that Wednesday will be the longest (for reasons that I'd better not get into on a public forum) :( -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
