Please support me in the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer - last year we were able to raise $6.9 million for the Alberta Cancer Foundation - hopefully we can raise even more in 2010! -

Moose Fever
Filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: northernvoice, nv07.
It sounds like the dreaded Moose Fever has afflicted nearly everyone who attended Northern Voice 2007. Some nasty flu bug got circulated through the cavernous halls of the Forestry building at UBC, infecting everyone there, then being carried across the continent as the attendees returned home. I had my flu shot before Christmas, so I wasn't completely laid out (as many folks apparently were), but it still sucks pretty badly.
I'm feeling MUCH better than I was on Monday and Tuesday. I may even risk heading into the office on Thursday, since I've got a fair number of deadlines that got summarily blown away this week. Thank the gods for Tylenol Cold & Flu liquid medicine.
Maybe next year, instead of T-Shirts, we should have SARS masks or something. And forego the field trip to the live bird market, so we don't all catch H5N1 (or whatever the hell this bug is) again.
Infected Moose:
I'm sure there are many, many more.
[...] Now, if we can only avoid another outbreak of the dreaded Moose Fever… [...]
[...] many people to see and talk to… which will be much easier since I can’t possibly catch Moose Fever that quickly, meaning I will have a voice to speak with this [...]
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be sure to bring my SARS mask in to work tomorrow.
heh. I ALMOST came in on Tuesday, but decided it wasn’t the smartest thing to do when sharing a pod with someone. You’re welcome!
I’m pretty sure it’s past the contagious stage – especially with the Tylenol Cold & Flu stuff working its magic. I just feel like crap. The lava lamp might help.
Add another one here, I was blaming a day with my niece with the runny nose – but blaming it on NV is much more palatable.
MUST, RELEASE PRESSURE FROM BRAIN …….
Bill – I’ve found that actually relieving the intracranial pressure yourself isn’t exactly effective. And it’s a little messy.
