In which I immunize myself from the flu

I'm writing about this, not because it's particularly exciting in itself, but because it's a little difference that really stuck out and that I found oddly hilarious.

I went to the clinic and asked if they could give me the flu shot.
"Do you have it?" the woman asked.
"No, I want to get it," I said, confused.
"You have to buy it in a pharmacy, and if you want, you can come back and we can give it to you," she explained.

I went across the street to the pharmacy, and with dubiousness creeping through my voice, I asked if I could buy the flu shot there. "Of course!" answered the pharmacist, her tone questioning why I wouldn't be certain of such a thing.

So I had the flu shot in my possession, and hell if I was going to some dumb clinic to get an intramuscular injection. I'm a WFR, I'm certified to do this shit. So I came home, did some light reading to make sure I wouldn't kill myself, washed my hands, sterilized my leg, and shot up.

Let's hope I don't get the flu.
