May-itis

According to the ANAJAM (Auntie Nettie's Attic Journal of American Medicine), doctors (aka Dr. Nettie) are reporting a rise in reported cases of a new disease, May-itis. Doctors have found that it is similar in make-up to spring fever and senioritis, with similar contagious symptoms. It is particularly prevalent in educational institutions, striking "older" adults, beyond the traditional 18-26 age range, and is especially virulent in cubicle workers.

Symptoms include, but are not limited to:

• headaches,
• boredom,
• hunger pangs, but ONLY for junk food,
• lack of attentiveness,
• semi-consciousness,
• severe apathy,
• but mostly whining, as in: May I please stop working now? May I please have someone else do my work? May I please go home? May I please go outside and play? May I PLEASE go on vacation? May-be I'll just have to call in "sick."

Cures include:

• Dt. Coke,
• Allergy medication,
• junk food,
• blogging,
• "sick" days,
• and vacation time, LOTS and LOTS of vacation time -- like most of the month of MAY.

If you find you are suffering from May-itis, please try one or all of the cures.

Good luck.

Be well.
