In this episode of the ill-fated Mind-Blowing series, I do my best impression of a sick Cameron Frye from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: “Let my Dougie goooooo.”
I remember coming home from a one-day visit to TIME HQ in New York and feeling immediately sick.
It could have been the round-trip ride on a dirty Amtrak train. It could have been the shoulder-to-shoulder lifestyle of the city that never sleeps. It could have been that years of working from home have left my immune system about as strong as wet paper.
At any rate, I powered through it. Fun fact: the Nyquil was actually orange Gatorade.
