It was bound to happen sometime...

Well for the first time in my working life from age 16 till now I actually went home from work early for being sick. I am feeling like crap that just came on me like overnight. I was working yesterday and was just feeling not so hot and had to drive to school and was just feeling worse I get to school take my final. I had a half gallon of Orange Juice on the table and didn't want to make the drive around again so I just took the ferry home. I get home pop some Nightime Cold Medicine and just crash. Wake up and I feel even more like crap this morning.

Some reason time seems to slow down when you are sick. Like theory of relativity I guess I was getting dressed for work and I was having trouble focusing on anything. It felt like I had been hit by a mack truck. I am taking this being sick thing as a bit of an insult. I never get sick. I never get flu shots but some reason this little cold comes along and wants to fuck with me. I am lucky if I get sick once a year. I have trouble comprehending when people are saying they are sick all the time.

If someone gets sick all the time I tend to take it personal that the person doesn't want to hang out with me. But I am the nice person and offer them soup and a run to the drugstore for them but that tends to get turned down. I mean why would someone turn down a nice gesture unless they were faking and not wanting to get caught.

That was an off tangent. Anyways I get to work and everyone is coming up to me. "Dude are you sick?", "Hey man you look like shit!" (Response: Yeah I feel like shit), "Dude Tristan you need to go home", "That sucks you are sick don't breath on me".

I am the stubborn type and will work all the time. I have never called off work unless I was really truly sick. Some reason it doesn't bother me when people do call off work for laziness. I just feel slightly better that I can handle anything I guess. But being sick currently I feel like I am so pathetic for just laying here in Bed sucking down some NyQuil and drinking Immune Defense Tropicana Orange Juice with some Herbal Tea and Ginger Ale. I should eat something I haven't eaten in like 2 days.

But anyways I am feeling groggy again thanks to the drugs that make the pains of being sick and I thank NyQuil for that. Hope everyone is feeling better then I am.

This is Tristan *cough cough, sneeze sneeze* Signing Off.
