So, I hear it's my turn to get the Lurg just before Maelstrom

Today, after a couple of days of Evil Brain Fog, on one of which I seriously considered not going to work and going back to bed instead, I woke up with a raging sore throat and aching lungs. This confirms that I have some variety of Ill. (It also has the side-effect that I can't get back to sleep because it hurts too much if I don't have something else to concentrate on.)

Also, I have chosen a lousy day to start being Ill because WoW is offline until noon.
