day 1-approximately 21: i have a runny nose
day 22: i wake up with a sorethroat, figure i should stay home so i can get some stuff done (and stay away from jerks); sorethroat gradually turns into "wheeze wheeze wtf i cant breath very well"
day 23: i call my work @ 4am cause i can't get to sleep with all the coughing (is it replicating pods, no at least i hope not); fall back asleep until 9 and then go get coughdrops and nyquil and the type of tylenol sinus they make meth outta; am awake until ~ 5pm and then do not wake back up permanently until 2 am
day 24: probably will call off work again
