A symphony of coughing, sneezing and moaning surrounds my entire office building, as it seems EVERYONE is sick. Up to this point, I have been able to avoid the plethora of bugs that are moving around this city, but I am starting to wonder when it will be my turn. We were missing 25% of our volleyball team last night due to illness, and this building is only half-full today. My boss Rick is half-alive with some nasty cold/flu like symptoms in his office, and thankfully keeping his distance. His wife, Robin is home with a stomach bug that she caught from their grandson, who caught it from his parents in Dallas. This is NO FUN. I was thinking earlier that it is good that I don’t have any trips coming up for the next 19 days, but on second thought it might be the perfect prescription to get out of town, and FAST!
If you're reading this, and your fighting off a bug; hang in there, but STAY HOME and get rest. We'll pray for you from a distance :-)
Cute picture. It does seem crazy how many people are sick, from friends, family, fellow church members, coworkers, and patients at my work. I have some symptoms of this stuff too, yet I know I'm healed. I would love to stay home however my boss is hardcore, plus I push myself too hard at times. My boss yelled at my coworker who called in and she was coughing so hard she couldn't talk. She dragged herself in a few days later, wearing a mask so she wouldn't infect others. She had walking Pnemonea. When I *informed* him I was going to the doctor in the middle of the day yet would be back right after, he was irritated, and cold. He does not believe adults get sick. Apparently short of being in ICU, he expects us to not only call in preferably the night before, but give him clinical information on each patient. Believe it or not, this is an improved version of him. God's been working on him and given me grace with him. That said, I may take Pastor Mike's wonderful sermon advice and pray my boss right into a promotion. :)
