So, I’m sitting at home at the moment, feeling genuinely awful, and no, I wasn’t at the fresher’s ball. My approach is typically that if I’m not going to be productive at work, I might as well by unproductive at home instead.
I remember in the news a little while ago was a lot of stuff about the amount of sick days that people were taking, and about companies who had prizes for people who didn’t take any sick days.
Well what a good idea! Motivate people to come into work when they really shouldn’t, and in so doing, infect all their colleagues. That’s really good for productivity, I’m sure.
Perhaps what we need is a good dose of Spanish Flu. It looks like it’s going to happen and perhaps fairly soon – they’re cooking up some nice avian flu in SE Asia right now. I can’t help thinking that it’s about time that we were reminded how dangerous influenza really is. And isolation is the best way to control the spread.
