I really hope that everybody else doesn't care, because I don't.
 
Dammit! I wanted to be here tomorrow, but now I can't since I don't have time to become sick.

Ha! Good catch, heartless.

Now we start theorizing on why he's not online.

Here's my theory: His boss read this thread and told him that he'd better get his butt into work or he'd be fired.

I didn't think that PFers would forget that it is different times of the day around the world. Right now it is 4:14 PM for instance, in Guam.
