I thought we were over that? I mean, I would hope that someone with any generic flu would stay home but to not be allowed sounds extreme. You work in an office, right? Not a hospital/day care/some other kind of place where people might be delicate?

There's been another surge in cases in the province, spurred by members of a bunch of military bands getting and spreading the illness during an annual concert we have here. My co-worker's cousin was in the concert, was ill, and borrowed my co-worker's car while she was sick.

I think the whole think is exacerbated by the fact that her boss sent her home yesterday.

Frankly, I'm hoping it means a week of quarantine for me too!

Hey Kat, when you emerge from the shoe fiasco (or maybe as relief while you're going through it) want to go shopping sometime soon, sans kids?

And in random transitions, the "treatment of overweight" thing makes my skin crawl, but since I teach health science students I have to accept it as correct use of English. Oh the travails of me!

I would say cluh-FOO-tee. megan walker?

My ears!!

Actually, you shouldn't really stress any of the syllables, but, if any, I'd say the third one. So, clahh-foo-TEE.

Especially without getting sick! That would be the best of both worlds.

See, I had no idea! Merci. (Which I pronounce the same as mercy.)

Since swine flu is hitting teens and young adults more than other demographics, don't be surprised if we see a lot of schools closing due to outbreaks this fall.

Its like Jesse hates me or something.

My cousin in New Zealand just got diagnosed with swine flu.

That duck video proves that escalators are cruel devices of unnatural and violent purpose.

Its like Jesse hates me or something.

Ha! And thanks.
