Jim Harbaugh, I'm Not Worthy

Submitted by Muttley on

I got sick this week and missed work.

How many MGoUsers out there could honestly make the claim, "I don't get sick"?

I've met a few machines that would go on ~five year stretches without taking a sick day.  Me, I usually have one or two sick bouts a year of one or two days each.  How about the rest of the board?

Have never taken a sick day. I book days off for Michigan games and always get sick during holidays (Christmas break every year). Am getting laid off for 3 months starting Monday so in expecting to be sick as a dog this time next week.

Guys....I think I have a problem. Not being sick in years? I didn't know that was possible. I'm always sick. If it's not an actual disease, it's my allergies and the kicker is I don't know what I'm allergic to (I know it's not animals or grass). No matter the season, most mornings I'm sneezing/coughing and it gradually goes away as the day progresses. I used to take allergy medication but it didn't help much.

Every year in school I would, without fail, get bronchitis probably due to UM's dingy dorm rooms and my dingy room when I moved into a house. To top it all off, I'm asthmatic (not too serious).

I used to think this was all normal, now I'm just trying to imagine what it would be like to be not sick for 5 straight years. Wtf is wrong with me?

I didn't get sick until after I graduated and the Air Force shot me full of inoculations with machines that looked like Wagner power painters... I was a human pin cushion for my time in the service and believe to this day, my immune system has suffered for it.  No empirical evidince to back such claims up -- just shit I went through that's all.

I was sick this weekend.  I slept in my bathtub Sunday night because I couldn't stop barfing.  I couldn't even hold plain water down.  Which led to dehydration.  Which led to a raging fever.  Took Monday and Tuesday off.

More power to Harbaugh I guess.

Never missed a day of work or a football activity in 6 years.

Was sick growing up probably 8 times. Legit sick in my entire life around 12. Averaging about once every 2.35 years. Clearly proud if it. Haha

and who live in Michigan, prepare for it. There's a group of parents in Holland, MI who first thought it a grand idea to not vaccinate their kids and then thought it was a good idea to have a "Measles Party" for their kids similar to a "Chicken Pox Party". Well, for those of you who don't know, this is a really really bad idea. You can send your thank you cards to Jenny McCarthy when you are applying ointment to your shingles.

I've never been sick in my 28 year career. I get 4 hours of sick leave every 2 weeks and and have a big sick bank!  I had the flu once on a weekend I was off but was well enough to not miss work. Some of my co-workers get sick a lot, just to save their leave!
