Jan, since the CEO who created our agency was Jewish. I'm not surprised it's called the "winter meeting." Personally, I don't give a rat's little back foot what they call it. I think it's ironic that they hold a meeting that no one wants to attend so they can honor the hard work we do.  What most people I've talked to wish is that they'd give us the day off with pay or a bonus and forget the stinkin' party.
I barely got anything to eat. The talking part of the meeting went on f-o-r-e-v-e-r. They didn't let us go to the buffet until 10 minutes before I had to leave for the doc appt. I made a point to be at the head of the line, grabbed some food, wolfed it down and bolted. No prizes. No goodies. 
The doctor appointment got off to a rocky start. I was coughing my head off when the nurse took my blood pressure. He was all excited about how high it was. I pointed out I'd been coughing, but he ignored that. The doc came in looked at the recorded BP and said something about how high it was. I pointed out I'd been coughing my head off. She waited a few minutes and took it again. I was back down to normal.
She listened to my chest and said the bronchitis is continuing to improve. She agreed I have an upper respiratory infection going on now. The sinus drainage is causing the current cough. She put me back on antibiotics and steroids. Told me to start using Flonase in my nose too. Then she told me I need to stay home from work a couple of days. I explained I CAN'T take time off right now. If I don't get my numbers for work I'm going to be in deep poop. I'm going to work short days next week and see if that helps.
