Shannoning Sick Day

I'm not intentionally shannoning. I'm sick.
Have a ear ache that hurts. Slept most of the day. Tried working a little.

Went to the doc. They didn't even give my any good pain meds.

Why is it that when your ear hurts, they have to stick this ice cold pointy thing in it to make sure it hurts... Really, trust me, it hurts.
