The office is FREAKING cold at this time of the night. Bone-shivering so.
My body convulses with each chest-rackling cough I manage to muster (which happens to be a per-minute-occurrence)... My chest hurts. (Yes, CHEST not BREAST, cc... ) I think soon the infection will spread to my ears and then my ears will hurt when I cough too. I should just be glad that I don't have a fever or a flu running like the tap. I can live with a cough, but I really should be tucked comfortably into bed right now.
Yet still, work I rush.

MC, out of the question. There just isn't any room or time to be sick is there?
