PS Announcement for those of you who have colds/upper respiratory ailments.

Do not mix Vicks Vapo Rub and BioFreeze on your chest and neck. Bad things happen. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up for the cold and flu season.

Also, do not take DayQuil and NyQuil at the same time or you could end up like this...

bad. My manager said he thought that I should really be home taking care of myself, so I went home just before lunch time.

I think I am kind of on the upswing, but I will go through periods of calm and then will have violent coughing fits. I may work from home another day and if it doesn't improve will go to our on-site health clinic just to make sure it's nothing more than the common cold. Thank you for your kind concern!
