Stupid colds... Where is the remedy?

Why is it when somebody gets sick they decide to come to work and tough it out? Do they seem to think that the fellow coworkers will be impressed with their dedication? I mean if the guy is sitting behind a pile of used tissue and on the verge of passing out at his desk, does anyone really think that he is getting a lot of work done?

Not to mention the fact that this genius will more than likely get other people sick and decrease productivity for the company overall. These people need a swift kick to the ass and sent home for being so retarded. Now I am sick thanks to this, but I am in no condition to work so I am at home resting. I want to get better faster, working when I am sick does not help heal.

Plus to top it off I am in the middle of some winter storm so needless to say I wouldnt be going anywhere today even if I could. Man this winter seems to be dragging on forever, I can wait till it is all over with. Maybe I need to move to a warmer, winter-free climate.

Did I mention that in the time I have been home my girlfriend has been home with me as well. Well I mean she is in the house anyways, sitting in front of her computer playing World of Warcraft and talking to people over her internet headset. She lives there, I usually just shut the door to the computer room so I dont have to hear it all day long. Funny, when i do its pretty easy to adjust to her not being here at all. I mean its not like I see her much besides when she comes out to eat, have a smoke, or use the bathroom. The more this goes on, the more I get used to not being around her and shes 10 feet away. Take that for what you will I guess.

Well thats enough for now, Im going to go rest some more. I just wish my sinuses would open or my ears would unplug. It feels like I am sitting under 30 feet of water or something, bleh I hate being sick.
