Was suppose to go in today for an interview, but had to cancel. I'm getting worse, not better, for some reason. Woke up at 5:35 this morning with my left eye stuck together and swollen. Yep...the hits just keep on coming. Cough is worse than ever. Sore throat isn't as bad but still bad and I'm miserable.
 
6 straight days and i don't see an end in sight. I really wanted that job too. Arghhhhhhh!!!!!
 
Guess it wasn't meant to be.

@jax: You did the responsible thing though by canceling.  Hope you feel better!  I bet inviting your ex g/f over for a nice juicy steak would help

There is some serious CRUD going around. And it seems to be a weeks long in duration. Looks like it moved to your eye now. Emoticon
 
I'm getting it now too after the fam having it first . Ugh.
 
I think the folks at the possible job are thankful you didn't contaminate them. Not going bites bad but you did the right thing. I hope they let you reschedule? 4951

@TheTruthHurts:
 
They wanted me to come in Monday but i had a scheduling conflict. They changed it today at 10:00 just to accommodate me and now this. I've lost my opportunity this time around but won't stop trying.

@jax:
 

I don't think you should not be considered for an interview now. They wanted to interview you in the first place. It's not like you aren't the same person or have done anything to demean your status.
 
You should have tried to close them for a rescheduled interview? Did they mention it? 4951

It does take a few days for the antibiotics to kick in.Keep the liquids going in.  It does make a difference.  Maybe they will reschedule you for the interview.  
 
@Fallon:
 
No antibiotics. This is, apparently, a wait it out thing.

The door is closed. I tried but it just wasn't in the cards this time around. There will be other opportunities.

Ugh - I'm so sorry. And yes, it's going around. I lost my voice last night and still haven't found it - it's making conference calls real fun this morning bc my colleagues cringe when they do hear me try to talk. Emoticon My little guy had the eye crud earlier in the week and the doc gave him prescription eye drops - his eyes cleared up so much within one day. Feel better! 4951

I would go back to the doctor or another doctor! It sounds like you might now have an eye infection which would need antibiotics! When I was sick with strep, the doctor saw me on Friday and said it was viral. By Sunday I had to be admitted to the emergency room. See the doctor today because tomorrow will be the weekend. 4951

@Retired_Engineer: @ Jax, I'll help too! We're just sitting around the house waiting for the electrical bid.....and it's making me nuts. If I can help run any errands or pick up anything for you, just holler.
