I’ve been sick for the past week. I had the flu, which makes perfect sense, since it’s a). flu season, and b). I never bothered to get a flu shot. Now, while being sick isn’t any fun, the one thing that makes it downright unbearable is listening to people say, upon hearing of my illness, “yeah, that’s been going around lately”.

As my friend Jessica likes to say, O RLY?

It’s been “going around” lately, eh? How, exactly, did you come upon that little nugget of knowledge? Inside fucking tip from the CDC?

You know, let’s just get this out of the way, okay? It ALWAYS rains this much, there is ALWAYS something going around, and traffic HAS always been this bad. Okay? Always. Every year. Never changes. Aite? Can we just agree on this and move on? Please?

At any rate, I think we’re going to launch a new feature next week. So watch for the premiere of JeremyAbramson.com™ presents: When Boredom Strikes! It should be good times for the whole family!
