Circus freak?? What show have y'all been watching?

Should I call in sick to work? I feel marginally OK (throat is still very sore) but spent most of last night puking. OTOH, work is very busy, and yesterday when I went in, I actually got important shit done...

OK, she's not a circus freak per se, but that's what Tom and I call her, 'cause of the tattoos and the fire breathing. Plus, I believe (during the aforementioned fire breathing) it was mentioned she used to work at the circus, or carnival, or something.

I say it with admiration, for she is both cool and HOTT.

Stay home for the morning, see how it goes.

Are you on antibiotics? My advice would be to call the doctor that prescribed them and ask him/her.

Awww. I'm loving the BT dating report.

meara, I'm glad your mom handled the letter fairly well (from the sounds of things). And if you've been puking all night, I'd say take the day off. Or at least take the morning off and see if you can keep any food down.

Yeah, tummy is feeling mostly OK, but decided to email work and say "I should've stayed home yesterday, sorry, not coming in today, call me for the lunchtime meeting". Mostly cause tummy is better, but still don't want to test it with various pills that will make the rest of me besides the tummy feel better.

The Wally Report is my new favorite show. Especially after last night's HSQ.

In good news, my mother's only question on receiving the "I'm GAY" letter was "Well then why do you read those awful trashy romance novels?".

BWAH! I'm glad you got that reaction.

What's this about lynx sex?

"It's not. It's important to me that I kiss you."

I'm swooning here, too. I'm so glad for the mutual doomage.

So I keep worrying that people will judge me if I don't break down, which if I follow my typical pattern for everything except that little set of uncertainties that trigger my worry script, I won't.

Susan, I am seconding or thirding or fourteenthing the comments that everyone grieves differently. However you feel, whatever you want to do -- it is fine. No one will judge you for it.

Lyra, at the first F2F, we brought a bunch of REALLY bad romance novels to trade around, and the....standout of the bunch...was one where the wee Scottish lass (who was probably a witch or something, and had purple eyes, etc etc) was bathing naked in a stream, and was seduced by a lynx (I think it was like, licking her). Conveniently, a few pages later, the hero, who was like, nicknamed 'Lynx' or had lynx-colored-eyes, or some such nonsense, arrived.

Ah, Build Team, you're so pretty!

You're not wrong.

Heh. Me, too! If I'm going to date live vicariously, through billytea seems the best avenue.
