Surprisingly I’m feeling a little under the weather. I’m not used to feeling bad, I even pride myself on my durability. Over the years I’ve devised two tests to determine whether I can actually classify myself as sick. They are as follows:1) If I have to take any medicine, prescription or over the counter, to make myself feel better.
2) If I miss any regularly scheduled event such as school or work because of my illness.
My dilemma is how I should write these two clauses out if they were some sort of statute; Should they be inclusive or exclusive?
Inclusive:
Adam Samons shall be deemed to be sick if he
1) Has to take any medicine, prescription or over the counter, to make himself feel better.
And
2) Misses any regularly scheduled event such as school, work, or a social outing because of his illness.
Under this definition I’m not sick yet, but I will be if I miss my dinner plans tomorrow.
Exclusive:
Adam Samons shall be deemed to be sick if he
1) Has to take any medicine, prescription or over the counter, to make himself feel better.
Or
2) Misses any regularly scheduled event such as school, work, or a social outing because of his illness.
Under this definition I’m already sick.
I guess I really don’t know how I feel. Perhaps the fact I had the energy to lay here and ramble on about this minutia should be considered in the analysis too.
On the bright side I do have a great excuse to just lay around and watch the NCAA Tournament all weekend.
