The last time I had the flu was over a New Year's holiday, so I didn't have to take time off from work. It was on the boundary between 1999 and 2000. I was visiting a friend in another city. He got it first, was too sick to eat one morning, and went straight to bed -- I spent the day Web surfing on his PC. Next day, I was sick in bed beside him. We spent the next week like that (and my car got towed, too).
As I recall, when we could manage it, we passed the time watching VHS tapes of _The Time Machine_ (the events of which take place on New Year's Eve 1899 -- not counting the trip into the future ;-> ) and the Zeffirelli _Jesus of Nazareth_ miniseries (Peter Ustinov, Anne Bancroft, Olivia Hussey as Mary, etc.)
