A very annoying co-worker came to work VERY sick last week. Instead of keeping quietly to herself ,she was her usual in-your-face talking, snotting, sneezing, coughing, disgusting germy self. No wonder that in the next few days 5-6 other people got sick, including Skott. I have managed (so far) to fend off most of it except the raw sore throat and slight sniffles.
I don't get sick very often (thankfully), but when I do, I want nothing more than a hot cup of chai tea, my fizzy Alka-Seltzer meds, a blanket, and a little sympathy. The last thing I want is to see this:
I don't want a cheesy "pep talk" on my cough drop wrappers. I want to be miserable and lose myself on the couch in a huge pile of blankets. This wrapper ranks right up there on my annoyance list with the outrageous slogan "Always" uses for their commercials and panty liners: "Have a happy period".
Seriously?
This was obviously written by some poor man in a last ditch attempt to cheer up his hormone crazed monster/wife. I'm pretty sure no woman in her right mind would agree to telling another female (whose uterus was on fire) "have a happy period". There is nothing happy about feeling like a sobbing psycho who just wants to curl up and die for a week....
I think I shall invent my own "pep talk in every drop" wrappers that say things such as:
*Go take a nap
*Sleep it off, you'll feel better
*Forget the laundry
*Cereal for dinner is ok
*Indulge in some hot chocolate or chai
*Pajamas are acceptable if you're not leaving the house
...anyone else care to add to my list? :)
