Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
I would whine about being sick (again!? wtf!) but since our power’s back on I will merely say how nice it is to be able to be sick in my own warm, well-lit home.

I used to get a cold about every 5-6 weeks. Ever since I quit my job at DIG . . . no cold. I blame the bad air systems and door handles in offices. That and maybe the underlying dread of going into an office every day.

i second that. people will probably stone me for saying this, but because i work home alone i seem to get sick much less than everyone else i know. the last time i did a year-long contract in an office (ended in 2005), i had one long sinus infection from spring to winter. i was convinced it was the fake air they pumped through the ventillation system because my two officemates had the same symptoms. anyway, i hope you FEEL BETTER! yay for heat.
