Recovery

Wednesday, February 10, 2010
Just to prove I don't do anything half-assed, I went and got sick this weekend. REALLY sick. So sick I missed 5 days of work, one at my part-time gig and four at my workistry. I'm not 100% just yet but I am definitely feeling much better than I was earlier this week. I'll spare you the details, but I haven't been that sick since I was a little kid. Gross.

That, however, didn't stop the parish from phoning. Even though I notified the boss on Saturday morning and the e-cancellations and phone calls went out, on Sunday afternoon I was trying to sleep when the phone rang. "Your youth group is all here! Where are you?" Thanks for spreading the word, gang. Monday morning, the phone rang: "Where is this?" Sigh.

I'm going to return to work tomorrow. Wow, a one-day work week before I depart for areas to the north. That ought to impress the boss, though I'm definitely going to have to scale back the plans for up north. Then I return middle of next week and work a two-day week. I'm going for employee of the month, obviously.

Ugh. At least I have recent political scandals to keep me entertained.

sounds like what I had two years ago at the same time of year. The words "projectile" and "massive dehydration" capture it nicely.

Oh, and re: political scandals: sic transit gloria mundi. . . . I am wicked;)

LOL - wicked but hilarious :) And if the boss gives me a hard time, I will use your two *perfect* words to describe what I went through this week, or should I say, what kept going through me.
