Poor Emmett. I hope he feels better.
I'm always so dubious when he claims symptoms that are less than puking, high fever or broken bones. But he really was sick the last time, so I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
As one who almost never puked? Thank you.
Hope the wee man feels better soon.
Anyway, I feel sick today with few actual symptoms. I just feel wrong. So I am taking a sick day from life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have a sore throat and some sniffles, but not bad enough to stay home -- my #1 least favorite kind of sick. If I'm not better by Thursday, though, I'm skipping our company outing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

today my office is moving. I find it HIlarious that they really think we will work until 2. I did about an hour and a half of work when I came in. ow. nsm.
We are "off" from 2-5, but then have to show up at 5 to unpack and I think the expectation is we stay 3 hours at that point (I'm kinda pretyy sure that ain't happening). ANyhoo I have a 2:30 massage and then I am getting a pedi and then I am going shoe shopping AND then I am going to have a cold beverage outside and people watch. WHEE!

Ooh, very nice! Want to meet for lunch tomorrow? Or any day in the future?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is your new office a farther commute than before?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
WGN is running Homicide from the beginning, it looks like. The pilot's on right now.
Oh, Tim Bayliss. So young.

What is even happening?
So all those "Stay gold, Ponyboy" jokes aren't going to mean much to you, huh?
I know enough about it--stuff I just absorbed from the atmosphere. I took "Stay cool, Soda Pop," to be a Hinton reference, when it was used on Veronica Mars, even though I've never read the book. I also remember That Was Then, This is Now, and Rumble Fish, although I've never read them, either. I know about greasers and socs, even. I'm not sure how I missed them.
Gronk. Just got woken up by EM calling. Emmett's got a sore throat that she deems worthy of a sickday. So I've got to go fetch him. Plus my plans are shot for the day. Bother.
Oh, no. Sorry, Hec. I hope Emmett is feeling better soon, and that it's just a quick virus, or even allergies. My mother probably implemented her No-Fever/No-Sickday rule when I was about Emmett's age. So far, I have mostly had to fight with my children to keep them home, when they are sick.
Julia's the only one who's ever try to fake sick to date, so we had a heart to heart. My rule is: If you've had good attendance, and you need a mental health day, I'll probably let you have one. Don't fake sick, because thinking you're sick makes me worry.
