There are tips and tricks to help ease the symptoms.

For example, if you eat out out some gingers, you’ll die happy.

Every single other voice assistant should absolutely say that in response to hearing “Hey, Siri.”

I’m just gonna share this here and leave it up to people as to whether not to believe me, but when I moved to Canada I had gotten a really bad cold. An old lady I worked with asked me if I had ever taken Echenacia. Hadn’t heard of it. She said to start taking it at the first sign of cold symptoms and continue 3x daily like an antibiotic until the symptoms have cleared. No joke, every cold I’ve had since then (2017) has only lasted 4 days or less, and the symptoms are very manageable and mild.

It’s honestly the single most effective supplement I’ve ever entertained, and it’s relatively inexpensive to pick up in any pharmacy or supplement aisle.

I really feel this comic.

I was sick beginning of December, mostly recovered after a week and I went back to work, but my throat still hurts when speaking - had 3 weeks off around Christmas, rested my voice, visited doctor for meds, but it’s still not gone. Doctors are still not sure what it is, but similar thing happens a lot with covid, so maybe it’s that.

Such a small thing, but lasts so long and doesn’t improve, I have zero control over it, and it makes me hopeless. I feel like it broke me, a successful manager, a married man in my 30s, I was crying yesterday when walking my dog.

Not sure how long can I go on working this way - I could of course go on sick leave, but doing that just after returning from a long holiday and kicking off a new project, will not make me too popular, and would guarantee that I miss the promotion I’m working for.

7-10 days? I can’t remember the last time I was sick for more than 2…
