    Swine flu - should I be worried?

    Most weeks I fly to the client's site. Yesterday this young chap was taken off the plane after a violent vomiting episode. We had not even left the ground. Gordon Bennett it was rank.

    I'm sure it was just a stomach bug or something.

    I, among others, really did not want to be on the plane any more.


    Got me thinking. The client is constantly sending messages to premie staff warning them not to take part in unnecessary travel. Great. What about us? Kind of defeats the point if I come into the office sneezing my lungs out.

            You will need a bucket in close proximity to your bog pretty soon.

            DOOMED!

              The real worry is if you get to the other end and then they refuse to fly you back cos you've got a temperature, and you end up quarantined for 7 days in China etc.

                    Well one thing we can be sure of is that you should probably avoid work for 52 weeks so you don't kill someone who's funeral you then have to attend and feel guilty about!
