When You're Sick...

Have you ever paid attention to the comments people make to you when they find out you're sick? I've decided they usually fall into one of three categories.

1. Sympathetic. They feel bad for you and tell you they hope you feel better soon, and ask if there is anything they can do for you.

2. Apathetic. It seems to go in one ear and out the other. They treat you the same as any other day, including asking you to watch their children, or talking your ear off when you'd rather be resting.

3. Selfish. The only thing they want to know is if you're contagious. Nevermind if you feel horrible, as long as you don't pass it on to them...
