How many times a year do you get sick?

[Squatch]

The worst I've been in the past year was a hangover this last weekend. I try to take care of myself, and it pays off.

Now, I wish the same can be said of one of my officemates. He is always sick. And not just a little sniffle. I wish I could hear myself think over his nose blowings.

In the last 2 months, he's been quite apparently sick 3 times.

He tends to stress out quite a bit, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

1. It's rare.

I got the flu last winter, but rarely do I even get a cold.

2. We all get sick.

Some people just don't exhibit any symptoms. They are lucky.

I usually get sick (with symptoms) once, maybe twice a year. That of course has gone up now that I have small children bringing home cooties all the time.

3. I get about one cold a year

I had the flu about 20 years ago. That's about it.

4. Do you mean use sick leave?

Because me getting sick and using sick leave have nothing to do with each other!
:P

5. 3 or 4 times a year

I have bad allergies, so I usually get a sinus infection every time the seasons change.

6. Your office mate

If he is really stopped up, should avoid milk products.

Does he smoke? What does he eat? (just curious)

7. He doesn't smoke but hangs out with people who do

He has a horrible diet, usually eating 20 chicken wings at least twice a week at lunchtime. He's quite overweight, too.
