It's cold outside...

[lnr]

I have a cold. On Monday I was very bunged up, with a sore throat and feeling grim. On Tuesday I was snotty, blowing my nose every five minutes. Today I'm a bit less runny-nosed but coughing. I've had a mild headache on and off all week, and I'm knackered.

I don't have a fever and it's certainly not the flu. I get the impression quite a few people would go into work in this state: "it's only a cold". What do you think? [Poll #1287169]

I had a cold a couple of weeks ago. It was what I would consider a mild cold (I still had a brain, and could even intermittently breathe through my nose) so since I'm new at this company, and hope to be taking a lot of time off soon for an operation, I went in.

That mild cold dragged on for the next week, and it took another week for my lungs to recover.

Next time, I'm just going to rest the dratted thing and get better.
