This is miserable. I can't stop coughing and it is keeping me awake. I'm tired and I have to go to work in 2 hours. All I've done is toss and turn. And I can't get the temperature right. I turn on the heater then I get too hot so I turn off the heater then I get too cold. Am I a sexist if I just want a girl to take care of me when I'm sick? Make me some chicken soup, please

Aww...poor tribdog. :frown: *stuffs chicken soup and cough medicine into tribdog's computer* Sorry, but with the bug that's been going around this year, I'm not getting any closer without a full biohazard suit on. This one seems to be knocking out even the people who don't normally get sick and I have no desire to be sick for Disney.

Oh my... I thought I had it bad. Because of the messed up schedule I'm on I was up for about ten hours before going to work yesterday for an eight hour shift. Then one of my co-workers called off and my boss told me he wants me to stay for an extra four hours. So I'm still here... and I'm starting to get a bit loopy. I have cold pizza and soda to keep me company. Oh and PF.

You... You should call in sick.
I did that the other week. I wasn't even very sick. I just hadn't been able to sleep at all that particular night so I called in.
