I should probably get a flu shot. I've got mild asthma, which is usually almost no problem, but whenever I get a respiratory infection my breathing get really bad really quickly. The student health center announced that they were going to be giving flu shots, but then canceled that because they weren't able to get them. I'm not sure if it's been rescheduled yet.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Dude, you'd think someone could've explained that in such nice, simple words to the anti-vax crazies. Possibly with the aid of tasers.
Oh, don't you know? I've just been brainwashed by Big Pharma. But I find your taser suggestion intriguing...

Considering the way I feel right now, I suspect that I'll be spending the weekend in bed. I hope it's not the flu. Maybe I should take my work laptop with me tonight in case it is.
I'm scheduled to get a regular flu shot next week.

Punishingly Intricate
Ha! Yaya. I am having a day. Seat assignments came out for our new office space and I am busted back to a cube. Despite just having taken over project management of the main project I work on with no added compensation. Grrr. I know I should be glad to have a job and our space is super limited but I'm hurt and pissed.

I got my kids seasonal FluMist yesterday. The county has H1N1 FluMist now but not the shots (I want to get the kids the H1N1 shots. Go on, ask me why.) In GA the only people getting the H1N1 vaccine appear to be county health departments, and they are first-come, first served. Not sure if they are enforcing any limits on who is eligible.
Does Liese have H1N1? She seems pretty seriously sick, yo. And a couple of other of my online friends, too. It's been widespread but mild in GA so far, but these things come in waves, so just because my kids didn't get it in late September when it was all over here doesn't mean they'll be safe when it comes back in February.

I'm not sure I've ever had the flu. But I got my first flu shot Wednesday because they did them here in the office. After the crazy not-swine flu I had back in April, I'll do anything to not get sick this year. I was a bit tired, but I have a feeling that's from overwork and not the shot.

oh flea, why? I am hearing lots of arguments against the vaccine in general but nothing on mist vs. shot.
