Flu Shot






Well the more I think of it I’ve come to a conclusion that I hate Oprah but in a good way. Every time I watch the damn show something makes me cry. It’s so funny in my normal everyday life I am not a crying type of guy but the things that woman touches with such insight always seem at some point to have me all teary eyes and wiping my face. It’s like when you watch her you get a double dose of estrogen pumped directly into your blood stream. It’s like crack its keeps you coming back.

On another note I went to get a flu shot on Tuesday morning bright and early. They said they would be giving them out from 7:30am to 9:30 pm I got up at 5 am was out the house by 7 and got there at by 8. Thinking I was early I walked as if someone had died getting there dragging my feet. The line was short outside I was like, Great! When I got in I was number 477 I almost pasted out because they were on number 56. I had a good book in my bag so I sat for two hours reading that before they got to my number. Then when I went to get the shot I was in state of horror again because the guy giving me the needle looked tore up from the floor up. He looked like a total alcoholic and he smell as if he had a few before he got there that morning. I was so nervous but he was a functional alcoholic thank God so he did not do any damage.

I'm still debating on whether I'm getting a flu shot or not this year. My company's offering it next week. I'm glad you got a functioning alcoholic. I heard the horror stories before.

I'm thinking about getting a flu shot myself, but I've heard horror stories about them.

A flu shot?!?! Well, I've never had the flu before and I'm not sure I need to necassarily get the shot. Besides, I don't like needles and I eat at least 3 oranges a day - that's plenty of vitamin C! Right?

you were brave in getting that flu shoot for many reasons...1. I couldn't let a bummy lookin' dude who seems incoherent stick anything in me. 2. You get sick from a flu shot so that you wouldn't get the flu...interesting.

thats unbelieveable. I can't believe you waited that long for a flu shot. I work in the Publishing Division of Dept of Health. So I don't have to wait in those lines.
