2025-11-12 The cold
===================

Got my Covid vaccine two weeks ago and my influenza vaccine last week.
This week, I have the cold. 😒

I still hope the vaccines will repel all vaccination-sceptics. Working
from home, wearing a mask when I feel crowded in (I often feel I
should do it more often), yearly vaccinations for both – together
these have really helped. Since 2020, I've been sick twice. Right now
and once a few years ago.

For comparison, I used to do one or two weeks of sick leave in
previous years. Maybe I am susceptible, or maybe I just really, really
hate going to work with a cold, but this is a better deal for me, for
society, and even for my employer.

They could do even better by paying for it. My wife’s employer pays
for the influenza shot, for example.

But still, I far prefer getting a needle prick a year to days of
misery. I feel like they punched me in the sinuses.
