May you and all your hideously unclean family be kept far, far away from us normal people.

I heard some people complaining about the side effects of the flu shot - soreness, someone actually had to go to the hospital, too.

I cannot work from home. Only staff and very trusted contractors can. And only with lab equipment.

So I have to stay healthy.

One place I worked, the official policy was to stay home. The unofficial policy was to drag your ass in there unless you are dead, and then you need a note from your mortician.

EVERYONE there got sick. One sick person would help by grabbing the mouse to show what to do. 

That was the most screwed up place I have ever worked. Everywhere else, they'd try not to infect you.

But I have a non-disparagement agreement so I can't say what airhead place it was.
