Well, one of the tile guys who was working on my house missed work last Wednesday as his daughter had been sick. He got sick himself over that weekend.
I got back to work on Friday, 2 days late, as a result of all the snow that hit NY. By the time I was aboard the HQ it was already 2 hours into my watch and I took over still in my street clothes, standing watch from about 1930 to 0530 Thursday.
By 2300 my throat was itching and my nose was starting to run. I picked up the damn bug from the tile guy and his kid.
I already had a brutal cold/flu this past January. This seems unfair.
Thing is, this appears to be a garden-variety cold. Compared to the misery of the last one, I can handle this. It's annoying, sure, but nowhere near as bad as my recent memories.
My wife and kid came down with it about 8 hours after I did. So they're not super happy either.
As for me, I'm moved in and at work. Funny that just 2 extra days off from my normal rotstion and I feel like I've been away for a lot longer. I find myself more calm and zen.
The weather has been moderate too, which helps a lot.
