Making News Coughing
By Jennifer McClure | February 26, 2008
They say to write what you know. Well, for me right now that’ll have to be the flu. Last week I joined the thousands in the U.S. who have made this year’s flu season one of historic proportions.
Lying on my couch at home watching the evening national news, I felt like a feverish heap of gray matter that in some small way was not only watching the news but also making it. That thought helped me not feel entirely worthless — I was helping make history.
Though the worst part of the sickness is behind me, my poor co-workers have to put up with me disturbing the peaceful hum of printers and clicking of keyboards with my cough every five minutes. But hopefully that’ll be the extent of how they are affected by my sickness.
So stay well, and remember: spring is just around the bend.
