Flu Friday


October not only brings the beautiful colors of Autumn, brisk temperatures, and the aroma of burning leaves, it also brings the annual flu shot clinic at work. It was held right in the lobby to my right(conference room) so all the action was right there for me to observe. As people signed up they were rewarded with fun size candy bars and a raffle ticket. The Company pitched in a dollar for each employee who took the flu vaccine. One lucky person would win the whole kit and kaboodle. It was also payday(I hand out the checks), so there was lots of activity at my desk all day. I was one of the first this morning to get the shot. The 2 nurses were excellent. I never even felt the needle go in!! Many people commented on that during the day. It was interesting to listen to the reasons why some didn't want it. You know who refused the most? The men!! And we all know who are the biggest babies when they get the least bit sick don't we? At the end of the afternoon one of the nurses on our Ventilator unit won $100! That was my very interessting day.
