It's not H1N1

To the puzzlement of some, I've given my blog a rather strange title. I shall explain. My chummy colleagues at work already understand, so you can pass this entry by.

'Twas swine flu season, and all through the corporate world was the message, "If you have swine flu, please STAY HOME!!" Swine flu and the pigs that carry it were clearly not welcome in the workplace. Given that we all work in rather close confines, we generally know when someone is out sick, and of course as far as the rest of us are concerned, they are out with Swine flu, "Oink, Oink". It was around that time that I was starting to feel a little out of the ordinary. I needed more sleep, and ended up getting to work a few minutes later every morning and going home for lunch break for a bit to eat and a short nap each day (also unusual for me). All of this was of course not unnoticed, given our close quarters. "What's going on?", "Oh, not much," says I. "You've got Swine flu, don't you? Oink, Oink!". "Ha ha, yeah, Swine flu. Oink, Oink!" echos another. Indeed, Swine flu would not be much fun. So, of course I had to get myself checked out by the Swine flu specialist. After my evaluation and diagnosis, of course I was pleased to announce to my colleagues, with much releif, that "At least it isn't Swine flu (Oink, Oink!)." Yes indeed, it could have been worse.
