OK, Community. You rule my world. Holy shit!

FTW, man. How far are you?

I guess we could talk about this in the comedy thread, huh?

I am so tremendously whiney this morning. It has been raining for 24 hours. I am tired, my body aches, I don't wanna, my hips are too big for this skirt, I didn't put up decorations last night like I was supposed to, I can't get warm, work, I left my earphones at home, people keep coming to talk to me, I don't have a door, I have to move to do my job, I hate everything.

I hab a cold, and my left ear is super-plugged. It is causing voices/music coming out of speakers to sound a) metallic and b) out of tune. Driving me crazy!

Sophia, I am pretty sure if we just hit people, we might feel better today. you start, let me know if it works.

Man, it sounds like that cold/flu virus is really getting around. Vonnie picked it up in Toronto, my friend Su in Chicago had it turn into pneumonia. My friend A picked it up in Atlanta, and a coworker got it in Cleveland. And both my mother and sister have it, and I'm sure my sister's case has or will turn into bronchitis.

Me, I'm gobbling up vitamin C and multi-vitamins: I don't have any PTO left at all.

Stay healthy, Buffistas!

Consuela, when does your year end/start for your days to restart?

I still don't think this is the flu, but a sinus infection is probable. I am calling my dr. shortly to see if I can get in. I ran my mile last night and did yoga for 15 minutes and it did not make me feek good at all, not worse, just no better.

eep! No flu! I don't think we got Isaac vaccinated. Maybe we should do it now just to be safe.

Thanks for the article, Cass. I am certain that's the bug I found, less certain that it's the source of the skin irritation, but we will see. At any rate, it got us to really clean the kids' rooms and the den, so I guess some good came out of this mess.

And that coat is gorgeous! I can see why you're going all Gollum about it.

The flu is apparently brutal in Chicago this year.

I earn a certain amount of PTO per pay period, so it's not a question of resetting, it's just that I've burned through everything I had accrued, between moving my folks and the holidays. (Also, the new payroll system basically makes it impossible to take LWOP. Boo!)

In better news, I think this cake might be relevant to some Buffista interests.

I don't think this is the flu either, but my boss was telling me that several of her husband's coworkers (he is a physical therapist) are hospitalized with the flu. And apparently our hospital is diverting to another hospital (mostly flu)
