I haven't caught the real flu for a few years now, only the common cold occasionally, but that passes quickly enough without much ado. I realised last winter that I might have a chance to get the flu vaccination for free via my work (though it was too late last winter already when I noticed the possibility). I'll need to research the situation now that it's getting topical once again.
I've known plenty of rotund jolly fellows who rarely got sick, so general health with diet and exercise may not be the answer. But I think your life will benefit from diet, exercise, and getting proper sleep.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I definitely get a lot of exercise. I practice martial arts 3 to 5 times a week with an instructor, and alone or with partners at least twice a week on days I don't meet with the instructor. The sessions are 3 hours on weekdays, 5 on weekends, and we cover the gamut including cardio, flexibility, strength training and endurance, in addition to forms and techniques. My diet isn't terrible at all, in that it's well balanced, I eat fruits and veggies as snacks, no junk, though I suppose including some supplements is one of the places I could improve. Sleep...that could definitely be improved on. On some of my busier days I end up with 2 hours of sleep and this can happen from once every other week to twice a week. On a lot of the good days, I still only get 6 hours. I'm just not sure how I'm going to improve my sleep schedule at this point in my life, but it looks like I have a lot to gain by doing so.

so, I finally finished my job today, so I'm back to sweet non-employment...
In the 11 months I've been there we've managed to turn from being arguably the worst clinic in the district to definitely being in the last spot. I can't really take credit for that, because not being good is a team effort, and I'm glad I won't have to deal with this crap anymore*. But, it would be nice to, once in my life, make a difference and be good at my job.
*real crap. crap, as in calling people and reminding them to send me shit-samples.
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Sounds like it was a pretty shitty job
I c wut chu did thar.
@DBZ: Shit samples? What kind of clinic were you working in?

I guess that in a Pooblic Clinic. (yeah I know I can be raped for this).
The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom
It's called a "Stool" sample you scholarly folks and is a pretty standard request.
Good luck on your next job.

________ we may fuck up alot but we always pull thru.
stool samples and fecal occult blood are the correct medical terms, but...
taking crap from asshole patient is what I'm no longer doing.
next job... I should really get working on that one.
Remind me, this was your side job while you studied, right? Or am I confusing you with someone else?Originally Posted by Death BOO Z

no, you're correct.
My best friend died in a car accident last night.
Needless to say, I'm pretty upset.
Holy shit.
I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I'm sorry to hear that...I can only hope the best for those close to him, yourself included.

Damn dude, my condolences. I can't imagine losing mine. All power to you and his family.
Now... we can click as warriors... button to button, it is the basis of all internet.
Only a fool trusts his life to a virus.
I hate reading/hearing the news, especially local news. The reporters trump up the stories to be so sensational and make you feel as shitty as possible about people and the world. Local news is worse, since you find out your neighbors are scum and evil shit is happening all around you. I guess it's my fault for wanting to bury my head in the sand and not know about all the evil shit going on in the world.
Also, reading Alas, Babylon is depressing.

Charlie Brooker did a bit on this on his Newswipe show:

That is brilliant! I don't think I'll be able to see a news report without thinking of it ever again. Thanks for posting it.

I particularly liked his matrix part. His way of talking demonstrated perfectly that you can talk about shit and still make it sound like a news report. (wait, or does talking about shit make it a news report?)
I find Australian news in general to be better than this though. They mostly report facts/happenings without colouring it like the example here. You'll more likely find this in things like Today Tonight or A Current Affair - where they're expected to add commentary.

Watch the entire series. It's called Newswipe. He does a really good segment about American media as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aEk864YrKw
