Usually I don't get sick all that often, but for some reason I felt like garbage on Christmas. I went two years without being sick and boom, what day do I get sick on? Fantastic.

If it feels like you've been sick for over five days, I'd say get checked out by a doctor, unless you feel REALLY horrible. Then just go right away.

Both. :P

I hear the flu is particularly bad this year. I have a coworker that got nailed for two weeks from it and he still doesn't look all that great. He grew a beard over Christmas break and now he looks like the old version of Luke Skywalker.
