The Allergic Reaction

Today was my first day back to work after taking one week for vacation. As soon as I stepped into my office I felt an immediate, visceral reaction. My eyes started watering, my nose got stuffed up, my sinuses filled, and I couldn't breathe.

So, even though you may joke.... I think I'm allergic to my office. Of course, I'm also a gold medalist in the "Conclusion Jumping" event.

It makes sense doesn't it? I felt great all week long. I wasn't exposed to anyone who was sick. So obviously it has to do with my unventilated, lacking-a-window, heat-box/pressure-chamber known as my office?

Well, that theory got blown out of the water when I still felt crappy after I arrived at home. So now I'm sure that my office just plain ole' makes me sick. That, or my cold has a sense of humour. Silly bacteria, don't you know that tricks are for kids?

My apologies to my adoring audience of three. No witty posts for you tonight. I will try and recover from this work-related illness and climb into bed. Too bad there's no workplace compensation for this!
