Go into the office, come home with the sniffles.
Stupid dirty infected denizens.
So many people out sick at the moment. I woke up with a sore throat and I’ve hardly been out and wear a mask.
There's a bout of covid going through my office for the past few weeks. Mine isn't covid (tested 3 times already) and probably not the flu (had my shot a couple of months back). Most likely just some head cold virus thingy that is more annoying than anything.
Been coughing for 3 weeks. keept getting dirty looks from colleagues. Was thinking I should wear a sign that says "dont worry, its just daycare germs. So long as I dont lick your eyeballs you wont catch it".
After my xmas bout of whatever-the-fuck-virus I had a lingering cough for like 6 weeks. Went into work and had to keep explaining that I'm not sick, and not contagious. I understand the trepidation though. Still too many nuffies that think going into work while actively sick is some sort of show of strength.
I’ve been fake taking extra shots from my puffer because of filthy looks on the bus. Really not sick people, this cough is my normal.
