whining about the cold

So, I've got a nasty cold. Best things for the smart guy to do? Bedrest and lots of liquids. Me, not so smart.

I did take yesterday off, but I went in today because I spent much of yesterday wondering what I would have to catch up with and just had to find out. I did take a little smorgasbord of pills this morning to help me face the day.

Working under the influence of intense cold medicine is a bit like working stoned. Everything seems either much less or much more important than ever before and you find yourself saying,"Sorry, what?" a lot.

It just got worse as the day went on. Tomorrow, I'm going to try to remember that staying home is not the equivalent of wimping out. In fact, it's not only the smart thing to do, but also the polite one. I'm sure my coworkers don't enjoy the sound of me coughing up lung bits in the cube next door.
