If you're sick, please stay home! Don't be a martyr.

I've been out of work over a year, and had an interview over a week ago. One of the people there was hacking all over the place. I was invited back into her office; I reluctantly agreed (was pretty sure the job really wasn't a fit for me, but I knew this woman so I wanted to get more info. just to be sure).

The whole time I was in her office, she was blowing her nose and just coughing up a lung.

Two days later, I got sick...I mean flat-on-my-ass sick.

I went to the doctor a few days later, and by last Friday, I had full-blown bronchitis. I just finished an antibiotic a couple of days ago, and I'm feeling a little better, but not 100%.

The lady was telling me how she has health insurance and sick leave at her job...so why didn't she stay home that day? I'm fairly certain she's the one who got me sick.

Sorry; just had to vent. I had an interview scheduled last week that I had to postpone because I was so ill; turned out the lady who was going to interview me was sick herself, so I got a reprieve.
