Totally not cool

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

OK guys, who’s with me on this one? It’s totally not cool to give your husband cold medicine and then mess with his mind just to see how much of an effect the medicine is having. It’s just not nice at all…

On the other hand, trying to skim a bunch of items in Bloglines after taking said cold medicine, is a really good way to make yourself dizzy. 🙂

I think I’ve discovered another benefit of being a one-man IT Department. Back when I had my own office, I rarely ever caught colds, etc. from coworkers. Now that I work within 25 feet of 4 other people all day long, avoiding germs is more of a challenge.
