UGH. I make it through two months of the cold/flu season working at a HOSPITAL with sick people all around me just fine. I go to SCHOOL for ONE DAY with a sick guy sitting next to me and now I have the plague. Bastard.
It was funny, really. I sat next to the Plaguebringer Tuesday, now today I had the sense to sit at the far end of the table, a good ways from anyone. The Plaguebringer sat at the same table, with an open seat between us. Some kid sits down in that seat and every time I either blink and instantly doze off, kicking awake after a second (twice) and blow my nose (innumerable times) this kid would scoot his chair away from me, then grab the corner of his book and pull it away from me, until he was practically in the Plaguebringer's lap.
That kid is so screwed.
...and I'm going to laugh about it, in that congested sort of "heh, heh, heh" cold laughter until a medication-induced stupor takes me and I pass out, peacefully drooling all over the cat, who has taken it upon himself to knead my trachea every time I lay still for thirty seconds.
