Please Stay Home

Tissue Box So, here I am, late at night, oldest child on the couch with a head cold.  Some would blame it on the change in weather.  Others could blame it on not getting enough vitamins.  I blame it on my coworker.

That’s right.  About three weeks ago, my friend and coworker decided that he was going to be a tough guy and instead of staying home and getting over his cold there, he decided to come to work and share it with all of us.  His cold went on for what seemed like two weeks, and he came in every day, coughing with his voice almost gone.

Now, I have a healthy immune system, but even I felt a little of the effects.  And my middle son all of a sudden had a cough that sounded just like my coworker’s cough.

Now I have at least two of the three (if not all three) coughing, and I’m sitting here writing blog posts when I could be sleeping.

So please, if you’re sick, show kindness by:

  • Staying Home
  • Getting Needed Rest
  • Taking Care of Yourself
  • Not Sharing Your Cold

Your coworkers, their families, and your company will thank you.
