“Pharyngitis? Oh yeah, I had that last week.”
“Pharyngitis? CEO had that two weeks ago.”
“Pharyngitis? My doctor said it must be really bad if I caught it.”
“Pharyngitis? [Random person] was off work for that.”
Rinse. Repeat.
I think there is no question as to how I became afflicted.
Earlier this evening I was at the point where I had a very husky, extremely sexy voice.
Now I am at the point where everything comes out in barely audible squeaks.
Next up: muteness.
Chiding you for not staying at home when you are sick. Get well soon, ms carolbaby!
I know, I know …
But I did stay home yesterday! This was primarily because I coughed non-stop for approximately 40 hours.
Went back to work like a proper martyr today – complete with squeaky / barely audible voice and just the occasional horrible coughing fit to show everyone what a Dedicated Professional I am.
