I hope the stiffness in back was just too much hair gel. And people complain about the young and their manners! With some luck her weaker immune system did not allow whatever she has to mutate into some kind of super virus. If it did, maybe one of the side effects could be super powers. DC is special in that people dutifully trudge to work under any kind of sickness just to work at jobs that accomplish almost nothing. The ten years I have lived here, it's been about 50/50 whether it was worth going to work on a good day, and it takes very little to tip the scale (lethargy, anyone?). I know these folks all have tons of sick and leave days heaped on them. Stay home, watch TV until your brain feels like it is turning into concrete!
