I think I may e-mail all the Eng 101/102 profs I'm supposed to meet with (and visit their classes) tomorrow and Thursday and tell them that I've been sick and am unable to meet with them or visit their classes--I'll drop off the tutoring flyers in their boxes and they can pass them out.

Say "I have pneumonia and respiratory syncytial virus," not just "I'm sick." Because I'd think that the profs, themselves, don't want to catch anything from you.

Or use the term "Black Death." That tends to get the point across.

{{{vw}}} I really want to kick a system in which you have to make these difficult decisions and have all these worries. Best of luck with everything, and the offer to come there and help out is always open.

Is the Firefly marathon on the Sci-Fi channel?

Yes, it is. Up to War Stories now.

"I'll be in my bunk."

Having Serenity on the television certainly improved my experience on the elliptical machine at the Y this morning.

So, how's this?

Dear Eng 101/102 Professors,

I’ve been sick for several weeks, and in the last week I’ve been diagnosed with pneumonia and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). I’ve been taking it easy since Wednesday and am feeling a little better, but need to ease back into my schedule a bit, which means I need to focus on the essentials. I feel it is in my best interest to not meet with you or visit your classes this week. Instead, I will be leaving packets of my flyers in your boxes tomorrow morning so you can get them out to your students. My energy is best used with getting to classes, homework, and tutoring.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Damn. It never occurred to me to ask Tifaux to look for Firefly for me.

You might as well throw the mono in there too, vw.

You might as well throw the mono in there too, vw.

Hell, yes.

You might as well throw the mono in there too, vw.

But then it just looks like I'm showing off!

ETA: (Sorry. That was a bad joke.)
