Remind me to get a flu shot next year.
It's my first year teaching 12-year-olds, and I've been sick three separate times so far this year. This latest sickness has given me a 100 degree fever for the past three days. I feel just bad enough to want someone to hit me on the head with a mallet.

:grr:

5. I didn't see them pushing it too much this year.
Usually my company does flu shots, this year they only sent out an e-mail saying they were available. In years past they posted all kinds of signs.

From the woman who makes out with you and didn't get any of this junk who not only had her flu shot, but gave out dozens this year. Feel better, baby. :hug:

9. Get the flu shot.
I didn't get it this year, and I wish I had.

I got the flu around Christmas, and the congestion never really cleared up completely. This year's strain was miserable.

10. Had 'flu twice already this year...
and it's only the middle of February, fer cryin' out loud! :grr:

They say you can't get the same one twice, but the symptoms sure looked alike from where I was standing...and then a nasty-ass sinus infection on top the second go-round...
I can haz boot to the hed pls?

Oh well, with a real live bacteriological infection (as opposed to viral) they can give ya antibiotics...still takes ten days though.
