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.
Every single other voice assistant should absolutely say that in response to hearing “Hey, Siri.”
"Hey, err, Alexa…
_How fucking dare you."
maybe in 10 years when we train an ai to know when to respond
Drink liquids to stay hydrated, use lotion-impregnated tissues to avoid drying out your nose when you blow it, take a DayQuil.
lotion-impregnated tissues
I make those myself.
…I am a degenerate.
There are tips and tricks to help ease the symptoms.
For example, if you eat out out some gingers, you’ll die happy.
I am so confused by this comment, and further confused as to all the upvotes.
There is clearly an inside joke that I’m not getting, or people are really hot for gingers.
Guilty as charged, I’d for sure eat out a Ginger right now if there’s a chance she’ll break my fever, hell even if she can’t!
Ginger tea is actually amazing when you have a cold. Especially if you make it with fresh ginger. Burns away all your snot and some of the pain in my experience.
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.

Am I not supposed to continue smashing cones? Because cold, flu, covid… has always been improved in me with an enormous intake of THC.
I’ve found a chemically induced coma has fixed up my (light viral) illnesses right quick and painlessly! 😌
I fucking feel this. Every time I start to get a cold Im like “FUCK THE NEXT WEEK”
Day 6 here. :( First 3 days I crawled into a bottle of NyQuill.
I always go for tylenol complete, the nighttime ones knocks you out at night, and the daytime ones make you feel like a god who can do anything. This is not a paid advertisement but if you’re listening Tylenol, then it could be!
Buh, no fair!
