# email seems to be OK for me.
Wich is a bit odd now I think about it. Does make me feel like I'm faking it, but I'm not. Honestly!

# I had to phone my boss
I hate the sound of disbelief in peoples voices when you phone in.
I should be convincing, I sound like the love child of Barry White and Tom Waits, at the moment

# some sort of flu-ish thing?
(I helped save b3ta! barnesy, Thu 20 Nov 2003, 8:33, archived)
# That sort of thing.
I don't feel too bad this morning, but I've only had one day off and I want to milk it. Milk it HARD. Do try try to get that mental image out of your head.

want? do you work in a naked supermodel and cocaine factory?
(I helped save b3ta! 100% of Gibbon, Thu 20 Nov 2003, 8:39, archived)
# well OK
'want' was a very bad choice of words! I'm crap at taking time off work - I hardly ever do it and always try to rush back when I do.

And ewww to the mental images involving naked cow orkers and cocaine...

# i used to be - must be some sort of
inherited protestant work ethic. I've since learnt that it is my constiutional right to take some time off sick when there's not much wrong with me every year. and my word, it feels good.

she?

# At the moment,
no, but I think that's just her rising temperature and the large amount of anti-flu drugs she's taking talking.

# I hate it when that happens.
You're ill and nobody believes you. I think it happens mostly with women - they've been so indoctrinated with this crap that men always over-exaggerate how ill they are. If Captain Scott had had a woman with him when he died at the Antarctic, she'd have been saying "oh, shut up, it's just a head cold" as he picked away at his frostbitten fingers.

Don't claim right to that, my man, I know you've been lacking in humour lately, but this is stooping too low.
