    Who's got the crud?

    Seems like every year a good chunk of the con ends up sick. Never been able to figure out if its that stale casino air, too much partying, or hanging around germ infested hackers. Probably some combination of all three. I seem to be doing well so far, but Evil is very sick

    I have it. Can I trade it for something else?

      I don't have it. They say it is better to give than receive, but I don't think this counts.

      No. All sales are final. Best (or worst, depending on your point of view) you can do is to give it to someone else and share in the misery.

        Ya, use it to its fullest. Head on down to the local headquarters for the political party you like the least and shake a lot of hands, offer to lick envelopes, go door to door, etc. Or spend time hanging out in the offices of co-workers you dont like.

            I might try that. Right now I am curled up in my office debating moving....
            Remind me why I am at work when I feel like I am dieing.

              The guy who said that is out sick today. I've been sick as a dog and this "lovely" Florida humidity isn't helping out a lot.

                Re: Who's got the crud?

                somehow I managed to survive both Comic-Con and Defcon this year without getting the crud. I think it's because I never spent long on an airplane - long flights always leave me sickly. I also took time out for naps so as to not stay exhausted for too long, that seems to have helped:)

                  I've got a weird kind of sore throat thing coming back from Defcon. Maybe its just a coincidence. It seems to be getting better, I think it might be from talking too much... but I don't think I talked during the con more than I would any other day.

                    I'm fine (aside from losing my voice as I do every year) but I am currently traveling with xaphan (work trip) and he is sick as a dog.

                      Well, at least we are sure that anyone who was in the pool is probably fine from the amount of chlorine and who knows what on them from it. I think I lost a layer of skin in there from the chemicals.

                      Remember the year we found out that the AP had turned off their filtration system?

                        I felt pretty low Monday night, and took Tuesday off for a sick/mental health day. Not feeling too bad today, but sitting right next to the data center keeps all the nastiness chilled and less potent, at least I hope so.

                          I'm not sick, but I did break out in an itchy rash on the last day. Seems to be an allergic reaction to something. Taking antihistamines stops the itching, but it's really annoying.

                          Anyone else have this?

                            while i'm not down with the sickness, i seemed to be battling a small dose of Con Cough the entire weekend. all told, i'm happy that it was merely that, guess i was kissing all the right people and none of the wrong ones since i kept my health a bit more in line this year than in the past.

I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc... OiNK it existed because it filled a void of what people want."

                              Other years I've never gotten sick. Seems inuitive like hotels shouldn't be hives of disease, or we'd see weird outbreaks like with the cruiseliners a few years ago. Maybe its just a combo of sleep deprivation and alcohol weakening the immune system plus proximity to others doing the same.
