It’s OK, I’ll live. But I just thought I should tell you that I have manflu. Just in case you’re one of the few people I haven’t emailed, Twittered or SMSd to, you know, say how well I’m doing, under these difficult and adverse health conditions.<\/p>\n
Oh, it’s alright. You don’t need to worry. I *know* I won’t get anything in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. Not even a mention in next year’s New Year Honours.<\/p>\n
But that’s alright, I’m not actually looking for a gong.<\/p>\n
More like, looking for a chest to pin it on right now.<\/p>\n
*sniff*<\/p>\n
Sorry about that.<\/p>\n
The body’s capacity to manufacture snot is something of a scientific marvel.<\/p>\n
Not the manufacturing process per se<\/em>, but the sheer volumes of the stuff? That’s amazing.<\/p>\n *koff koff*<\/p>\n But I’ll live.<\/p>\n Even though the condition I have has been scientifically* diagnosed as ‘Manflu H3 (miss, B7 bugger, you got me. Sorry, I stopped for a quick game of battleships with a friend in Sydney. Isn’t it amazing what you can use technology for? Anyway, where was I? Oh yes).<\/p>\n Even though this lethal strain of illness has been scientifically** diagnosed as Manfly, erm, no, Manflu (Manfly is a totally different disease. Don’t ask) Terminus. Yes that’s right. Manflu Terminus.<\/p>\n Even though that’s what I have.<\/p>\n Like Gloria Gaynor, I Will Survive.<\/p>\n If I was fit enough I’d get out of bed and do a little dance. But I’m not. So I won’t.<\/em><\/p>\n And I plan on being back at work tomorrow.<\/p>\n *nods, emphatically*<\/p>\n So that’s me.<\/p>\n *big snotty sniff*<\/p>\n How are you?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n *not really<\/p>\n **still not really<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s OK, I’ll live.
