… A cold is the worse — allergies also suck.

Stay home, get some rest…and screw going to work. Don’t give the flu / cold to your cold workers. Also, in the long run employers could care less and forget even more.

Oh…and come fish the Sierras.

Max: That might work for you, but I just tried it and yeah, I still feel the same.

Mike: Mrs. Donovan, hah! I had a similiar experience occur to me in high school and the teacher (Mrs. Baylor) thought I was fibbing about the whole thing.

Beto: Usually I’ll call off sick when I’m feeling like this, however this week I can’t because I already took a half day to watch my daughter when we couldn’t find a babysitter.

Kenneth: Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that product but I’ll look for it the next time I’m browsing the supermarket for remedies.

Nathan: I’m wallowing in self pity as I type this.

I consume large amounts of vitamin C tablets, drink Vitamin C enriched drinks and feel sorry for myself. That usually makes me feel a little better.

Man, those yearly flu shots are scary (miss a year and the flu comes with a vengeance). As for what I do when I have a cold, there's an awesome product out there called Emer'gen-C. 1000mg of vitamin C in a wonderful fizzy drink. Take a couple of those a day when you first feel a cold coming on. Knocks it out quick. And the great thing about vitamin C, what your body doesn't need gets flushed out, so no worries.

It’s been a while since I had a cold that bad (I’ve been careful to have yearly influenza shots ever since), however it is when you are like that and cannot leave the job when it sucks the most, since the only place you crave to be when you are like that is your bed, yet still have to act and work like nothing happened. Which, let’s face it, doesn’t go what way ever.

It is when I get forced to stop due to a cold or whatever when I realize how much of an (over)achiever I pretend to be.

First off I sympathize with you kartooner. I hope your health improves in a timely manner. Two weeks ago I had the flu. Not fun.

When I get sick my ears always plug up, leading to dizziness and nausea. For days everyone sounds like Charlie Brown’s teacher, Mrs. Donovan. “Wa waaa wa wa.”

How about you? What happens when youre inflicted with the common head cold?

I get up and get dressed. I don’t feel as bad when I’m dressed for some reason.
