I am invincible!

This fucking flu is getting ridiculous.
It’s been going on for four weeks. Last week, one kid out of six was fit for school. Of all the kids at the time, he and a month old baby were the only ones not infested. And even that one kid, not the baby, was sick few days back. They’ve all had good days but then it hits right back at you when you think you’ve kicked it.

Even the workers are getting sick with the killer flu of death. In the middle of this typhoon of influenza I have remained unaffected. Me and two others. I never get sick easily. I used to basically crawl around in the mud and lick toads as a kid. I was only borderline civilized back then, and now it’s paying back. I’ve got an immune system that can kick super-viruses and killer germs with. (Except cooties, those fuckers are my Achilles’ heel)

In the past month or so I’ve spent more time in the hospital than in the past three years. As I was taking one of the lil’ peckers to get his ears checked I noticed something. The waiting room is a huge hall with a high roof, cavernous even. And the echo there is insane. Yeah, that’s right. They put the sick children in a hall with an echo like a motherfucker. What the fuck were they thinking?!

The karmic law dictates that I will die to the common cold tomorrow for tempting fate.
