Of all the recent polls, I was the furthest off on this one with my prediction of the results. I figured it was going to be close. Not so.

Money, in a landslide, won out over status. When almost 85% of you would be willing to spend your career inhaling the exhaust fumes of hundreds of strange guys, day in and day out, for the long green, rather than sit pretty in the fresh air of the executive suite for a mediocre take, that's gotta be a statement of how our economy is going. Or proof that having the ability to pay the bills and have a little left over, is more important than merely looking like you do. So I salute you. [Because I was one of the 15% who voted for status over salary.]

On to this week's poll. I got that flu that's going around, and it knocked me on my ass all weekend. My girl was trying to feed me over the counter meds and, like a lot of guys do, I refused. As if it was an insult to my masculinity to take something to actually make me feel better.

So I want to know: when you get sick, how do you handle it? Answer in the box to the right.
