So I have a cold this week. How I got it, who sneezed, breathed, coughed or touched the doorknob ahead of me is irrelevant. I walk into work on Tuesday and an otherwise intelligent person admonished me that I need to take care of myself.
For a couple of seconds I had a “Fist of Death” moment like that engineer chick Alice in the Dilbert cartoon. Actually i wanted to whack him with an obviousbat.
Don’t tell me to take care of myself. That’s what vitamin c, Cold MD, Theraflu, fluids, and trying to get five minutes extra of rest are for.
Hopefully it was meant as a kind thing to say and not really an implication that you are so dumb you can’t “take care of yourself.”
But I get frustrated at similar sayings as well.
I hope you feel better soon. Let me know if I can do anything…
