the daily snivel

Well, it's my third day of being a sick bastard, languishing as I am here with a continuing fever, sore thoat, and congested lungs. I stayed home on Tuesday and Wednesday but had to briefly go in to the Clinic because I'm on the committee that is deciding who to hire as summer students, and we needed to meet today to make our final decisions because offers of employment will be made tomorrow. However, I'm feeling no better and in fact seem to be doing a little worse, making me think that I'm also coming down with bronchitis and strep throat, so I'll be seeing my doctor first thing tomorrow morning in the hopes that antibiotics will set me straight. In the meantime, it's more bed rest, History Channel, popsicles, and hot and sour soup for me.

In fact, so long as I don't turn out to be the victim of some horrible superbug, this won't be so bad a rest.
