Laid Low By a Virus (The Human Variety)
A virus has hit Zunch. No, not the kind that destroys databases and forces you to spend hours trying to recover data and reboot the system. This is the human variety.
Unfortunately, I may be the source of this virus. Saturday I attended a carnival at my daughter's school. In hindsight, I recall seeing a lot of sniffling going on among the kids, as well as a few kids who looked sick. But, kids being kids, they were not about to miss a chance to jump around in a bounce house.
By Sunday evening, I was feeling it. Wednesday it got bad enough I missed work and went to the doctor, where I was told I had a serious sinus infection and had caught a virus making the rounds in Dallas. In fact, Star (yes,that's her real name), my doctor's nurse, told me all that they had been seeing for several days was people with my symptoms.
Well, today I still feel rotten, but there were a few meetings that I absolutely had to attend, so I came in anyway. Only to learn that two fellow Zunchers were now out with the same thing.
So if you happen to be looking for Zunchers Dan and Alberto today, be aware, the virus has put them out of commission for a day or two. And if you're looking for me, I'm trying to stick it out, but I might not last much longer.
I guess misery does love company.
