Like most people, I am continuously on the search for new sickee ideas to get out of work. To my delight, I was vaccinated against Yellow Fever for my upcoming trip. The shot itself is not a delight, it burns like someone is putting out a cigarette on your arm. However the pain disappeared when I heard the lovely nurse explain that the vaccination is a live virus, and that I may get flu-like symptoms within a couple of days.
Joy!
Two days later I emailed my boss:
Hi Boss,
Please excuse me from work today. I have Yellow Fever. Don’t worry, I am not contagious. I was just injected with a live vaccine.
