Sorry for those with the grunge, I am so far avoiding it. Flu shots caused me a lot of consternation way back in the last century; company dictated that all employees had to get a flu shot every year to cut down on excessive use of sick time. Every year, I'd get sicker than a dog about two weeks after getting the shot, and have to take off work, sometimes for a week or more. And, every year, I'd get a disciplinary letter about using too much sick leave. So, I started refusing the shot, and got in trouble for that - but I stopped getting sick and using sick time. I had a heated discussion with my boss about it, he threatened to suspend me if I didn't get the shot, and I pointed out the facts of the past few years to him, and he knuckled under. When I retired, I had almost two years of accumulated sick leave on the books; was on sick leave, and got all of the raises and bennies dues me, even though I never went to work. When I ran out of sick time, they let me retire.
Weather here is cool, cloudy, and for us, winter like. It rained pretty good one day last week, and the prognosticators are saying it might do it again in the next day or so. Can't wait for spring and warm sunny days again.
