Over the hump and post 99 all in one!

Welcome to my 99th post on Blogger!

For the past week, I have been in bed, sick with bronchitis. I have only been out of the house 3 times, and all were walking the dog (er, well escorting the dog downstairs for a quick potty trip, I couldn't walk too far without getting short of breath.) I am still coughing like crazy, but I actually slept through the night as opposed to waking up every two hours. So I am going to try to return to work today. I know that if I didn't go to work, I would want to go out, so that means its time. I just sneezed.

Its a thin line you walk, not wanting to leave your shift short, not wanting to be half a person, and not wanting to infect the rest of the staff. Not to mention that I work at a hospital, with sick people. Sick people do not need to be exposed to whatever virus I happen to be fighting off. I happen to be one of the lucky people who have "sick pay" at work. Most people don't get paid if they don't come to work, which makes them come to work sick, which infects other people (coworkers, clients, etc.) Also, most people who don't have sick pay work low end jobs, with low pay, meaning they really need the little bit of money they will be missing out on if they don't show up to work. Think about that the next time your waiter brings your meal, or before you enjoy your freshly cleaned hotel room. Now, I have to take 3 "vacation" days before I can use "sick" days, so I am motivated to come in to work or lose out on my vacation. Seems like being sick perpetuates itself around the world.

I will at least be getting away from commercials. I refuse to buy anything from Quiznos, Geico, and Hillshire Farms due to the annoying commercials they have put forth. I really wanna smack the woman at the end of the Quiznos commercial. Dave and I race for the remote when we hear the commercial start because we don't want to hear her laugh. As for Geico, who needs a self-righteous caveman? (a self-righteous anything really!) Hillshire Farms... I don't like a team cheering me on to eat meat, and if my friend reached over to shake chicken on my salad to hear that song, I would smack her. (No, I don't have anything against meat!) I really am not a violent person, I have never smacked anyone. Perhaps that's because people know better. Also I will not be going to see the new movie with Hillary Swank (no further comments here.)
I guess over-repetition leads to smack!
