I must have picked up something from the guy who sits in the cubicle behind me at work because he was sick last week and tried to be a trooper by not calling in sick. If there is anyone reading this right now who tries to be a trooper or has something to proove by not calling in sick when you are actually sick, please take my advice...CALL IN SICK! For the sake of the rest of us who are trying not to get sick, please call in sick.
My main point/question is why are men such babies when they are sick? I say that not in judgment, but in a sense of fraternity because I might be the worst perpetrator of this. When I get sick, I turn into such a baby. I think to myself that if the world only knew what I was going through, then people would have compassion and sympathy for me. But no one could possibly know how bad this cold is because no one has ever had a cold this bad...ever! Even the people who suffered during the Plague could not truly sympathize with me because their malady was not even this bad. So, I inevitably wallow in self-pitty thinking that no one will ever understand.
To any men reading this, do you get like this when you get sick? Before you answer, I challenge you to ask your wife, girlfriend, parent or anyone who knows you well enough to have seen you sick.

I think it's cute when you're like this... although we don't have a kid yet, so I reserve the right to amend that statement =)
