I don't get holidays off, so yeah, I'm at work as usual. And it was FLOODING rain as I came in this morning... happy *BLEEP* year so far. ;)

I'm not working. I'm preparing a detailed email to family members re: the WMF exploit though, which is a little like work.

Oh btw: Go Irish.

What, did the English invade again?

No, the Buckeyes.

I'm not working, though I oughtta be. I'm sick. I woke up at 6 am, and stayed up for like three or four hours, then went back to bed and slept 'til 12 or 1 or something (it's all a little bit fuzzy). I usually hate sleeping too much, but today it felt great. It's nearly 5:30 pm now, and I'm still wearing my pajamas. Oh yeah.

HELL YEAH GO IRISH.

I'm gonna be in a bar full of ND and BUCK fans in a few hours. Should be a blast! $20 gets all we can drink and eat.

Yes.

No. But I'm cranky. And I miss you, Hugh.

Yes. Sort of. I went in to the office for about 30 minutes, coughed my brains out and came back home. This crap has rendered me fully useless.

I'm working, but the only thing I'm doing right now is plotting on how I'm going to get out of here early today. Any suggestions? I'm thinking that faking a heart attack might work, but might cause me difficulties later.

deadcowdan, get a little spray bottle with some water in it, and hide it inside your sweater/jacket, then go up behind your boss as though you are looking over his/her shoulder (at the computer, fer instance), then cough loudly as you surreptitiously spray the back of the boss's neck with your spray bottle.

Boss will probably send you home immediately.

I am going into work in a couple of hours, for 3 hours or so. Blah. The commute turns it into a 6 hour odyssey.

Don't work too hard, Hugh.

I thought I didn't have to work, but it turns out I do. But only for a few hours.

The Buckeyes should wear a special black and tan uniform for this one.

posted by Hugh Janus 02 January | 12:35

I miss dame, too, and I promise not to work too hard.

I'm at home, downloading Springsteen songs for my husband, who stopped listening to new music sometime in the 80s.

Nope, I'm one of the unemployed. Happy 2006 to you too, Mr. Anus.

I'm at work, but I'm going to ninja my way out of here early.

posted by SassHat 02 January | 17:29

Yes. Yes, I am at work. And at the end of my shift, I will be eight hours closer to death. Healthcare sux.
