Soldiering On

Filed under: Work - Ric @ 10:43 am

Someone someday is going to have to explain to me the benefits of “Soldiering on”. I think it comes from those same traditions from our imperial past as “stiff upper lip” and all that rot. I have been sick for the last week or so, but I’m still going into the office. Standing by the guns all day with my fellow workers who are more or less in the same boat as I am. We are all sick, and our constant and close association has lead to just one thing. Yes, that’s right - the creation of a super work-flu virus.

…scientists are baffled by the outbreak…

It has all the same aspects of the normal flu, however it also attacks the common sense centres of the victim’s cerebral cortex. Once infected the victim is grumpy, miserable, and against the better advice and judgement of his better half, obsessed with going into the office anyway.

Scientists are baffled by the outbreak, and believe that the only cure may be bed rest and a swift kick in the arse.
