Once again, the flu jab has proven useless as I've come down with a flu strain that was not foreseen in the 2006-2007 northern hemisphere influenza season immunisation.

I took the day off from work on Monday and spent a lovely feverish day going back and forth between the couch and bed: uncomfortable and bored no matter where I was. I eventually gave up with exhaustion and went to bed around 7pm. After waking up from my 12 hour sleep yesterday, I felt pretty good, albeit a little dehydrated, so I went to work.

That was a big mistake.
