What the heck is up with flu shots these days? My local Publix had listed flu shots from 3-7 yesterday afternoon. I had a staff meeting to go to right after work, so I didn't get to the store till 4:15. Should be ok, right? Wrong.
I asked a lady where to get in line (there was a long line) and she replied, "We're not taking any new people. If you don't have a number already then we're closed. We took the first 80 people." This is when I notice people in line have a nametag but instead of a name it has a number.
What the heck is the use of saying "Flu shots 3-7" if they're closed at 4:15? Why not say "Flu shots 3-7pm, or 80 people, whichever comes first." I left disgusted, since I'd missed other dates. As I was leaving a gray haired old lady told me to go to findaflushot.com to locate other locations besides publix in my area that offered the shots.
So now I have a date with a CVS. Saturday morning, 10-2pm. But you can bet your bippy I'll be there at 8am with bells on.... waiting.

Maybe you need a shot since your students might give you one,... but I NEVER get one. I always GET the flu from the shot. But without the shot usually, even if I'm around students that have it (knock on formica), I don't catch it. *shrug*
I figure I did most of my life without one... why start now. I think George Carlin was right when he joked about swimming in the Hudson and being immune to everything because of it.
