XP from 1st Tri: What would you do?

I have a pretty bad head cold (which, when combined with my lovely m/s I thought may have been a flu, but it's not) and I'm supposed to work a Graduate School Fair tomorrow out of town.  It would be a one day trip (leave at 6:30am get back about 6:30pm) but I'll be in a car for 3 hours each way and then coming in contact with literally hundreds of people at the fair itself.  I know my immune system is suppressed right now so I'm not sure if I should take the chance on getting sicker and/or making others sick?  There are two of us that are supposed to go so the fair would still be covered and there is typically only one of us anyways...

If I felt really horrible, I'd just skip the fair.

Me too... that sounds like a long day and a lot of travel if you're not feeling well

I'd bail as long as there aren't any repercussions.

I'd skip it.  You need to rest.  Feel better!

You say it's a pretty bad head cold, so I would skip it. Not only will you probably get sicker as you get more tired, but you could spread your cold to others. If there is only typically one of you there anyway, it doesn't seem like it'll be a huge inconvenience for your colleague.

hope you feel better soon!

I agree.
