The Flu Stinks. So Why Am I Here?
I have the flu. And I am at work. What's wrong with this scenario? I don't want any pity and I'm sure I don't deserve any. We've all been there. Balancing illness with work piling up. It's tricky business for lots of people and it's hard sometimes to make the call. However good it may be to get caught up at work and ease some of that stress, I am still putting my co-workers at risk of illness by being here. Hopefully I have been careful enough. Sorry co-workers. Anyway, now that you've read my sob story, take a minute to educate yourself about the coming flu season. It is supposed to be a record year for influenza. Maybe they'll hand out ribbons! Probably not.
The flu is serious business. The library has a list of health-related links online and also provides access to 3 different health databases so you can find out more about the flu and other illnesses. Also, you can visit the Kent County Health Department's website for information on staying healthy this flu season. Of course, you can always talk to your doctor for advice.
That's all I'll say about that. Stay germ-free, folks.
