Got Flu Shot???

I detest needles. I hate needles. I've never took a flu shot. I...I...I...

During my one month cold, I promised myself that I would get a flu shot this year. But on the day of the free flu shot at work...I...I...I...almost chickened out.

However yesterday, with a steely reserve, I went down to the lobby and took it like a real man...sort of like that kid in the picture.

From what I can figure out, the young guy who gave me my shot was not that good as most people could really feel it. I knew I should have gone to the older, more experienced guy...next time.

As for possible flu-like after affects, I didn't really have any (knock on wood 3 times), HOWEVER, I do have a really sore shoulder that I can't even sleep on! Other people who got the shot from the older guy had no such after effects while another person in my office also has a real sore shoulder.

At least it wasn't as bad a the TETANUS shot I got a couple of years ago...OUCH...now THAT was something to scream about!!!
