Oh sweet Christ. They want me to come in for a two hour meeting this week.
How am I supposed to swing that? I guess I'll have to come up with an "appointment" of some kind.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Apparently I was in some sleepwalking-like state, as the next morning I had no recollection of this at all.
I used to have night terrors when I was in grade school, where I would be up pacing, agitated, eyes wide open and loudly describing why I was so worked up (sounded like stuff out of really bad dreams when it was relayed back to me - stuff like melting people down to make bullets). Never once did I have a recollection of it afterwards. I think it only happened a half dozen times, but it freaked my parents right the hell out.

Oh, but that's promising, right?

I'm going to offer my old standby suggestion: plague.

Tell your bosses that you stumbled on a portal behind some filing cabinets in the basement you work in and ended up in John Malkovich's head for seven minutes before being dumped on the highway outside of Chicago.

Go plague! Choose plague!

Apparently so!

I don't have any sick time left. I think I have enough vacation hours to take a half-day...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me too! Except not so much with the terror. Apparently when I was little I would sleepwalk and saying things designed to freak my parents out, like, "I want my mommy...no, my REAL mommy!" Oops. Sorry, mom!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I sleptwalk a bit when I was a kid and into my teens, but nothing terror-ific. Usually, it was just me wandering around until I was redirected to my bed by whoever found me.
Once, my sister was having a friend over for a sleepover so they took over Mom's bedroom (she was out for a conference), and Sis was surprised when I strolled into the room at 2:00 am (while she and her friend were chatting) and I asked for Mom. She reminded me that Mom wasn't home, and I just said, "Oh, yeah..." and went back to bed. She asked me about it the next morning, and I had no clue why I was looking for Mom.
As for talking in my sleep, well, I still do that.
