Whew...and a correction...

I'm never really happy about anybody having to die...but there's a sweeping feeling of relief here at the Jade Mines. No gloating, no air-punching, no yelling. Just quiet, complex relief...

More later, off to hack up a lung and go back to workies...

(Edit--I reckon I should have put in *who* I was relieved about. Since Riotdork asked, it was indeed a cow-irker...and a funny one, really. I could swear, I'd seen him around somewhere, maybe on a reality TV show or something. He always looked at us all very strangely, and he always complained about this really long commute, and would scream things like,"Die American Scum!" at our meetings. A very odd man. Who knew things would come to such a pass? I mean, I'm as shocked as the next person...okay, maybe not actually that shocked...)

My initial thought: "One of your coworkers??"

*snerk*

It's totally my fault for not being more clear. I am still snot-filled, and it's affecting my poor, already-beleaguered brains.

Hon-a-bon, you've been sick a long time. Maybe you should see a doctor?

agreed. my cold-that-lasted-forever actually turned out to be walking pneumonia.

Okay, my cow-irker really was Osama Bin Laden. Who knew?

I just got back from one at the Minute Clinic downtown...the doc says it's just a really good cold, seems like the Robitussen's helping and to go easy and give myself time to heal up.

It's good I went, though I'm really mad at the bosses at work making me go.Not because they cared about my health, because they didn't believe I was sick, because I had a vacation day I booked two months ago in with the sickness. Bastids.

I did go get checked out today at last...lucky me, it's not pneumonia, just a really really bad cold. Which means I will live, I tellya! Liiiiiive!

Yeah. I had walking pneumonia and was out of school for 3 months.
It felt like there was cement in my lungs.

Well I'm glad they made you go. I've got me my Robitussen and have Kleenexes at every point of the house I visit.
Let's get well.

I must be coming down with something*, I didn't get the funny until I reread it.
