Mmm, clafouti. How do you say that?

We had someone from my folks' church bring by dinner last night, which was nice of them. One person brought an awesome roasted chicken, and one brought an amazing sugar cream pie, which we're getting ready to eat again for coffee break in about an hour. Mmm, pie.

In unrelated news, remember when we used to mock dead muppet fashion back in Buffy days? I thought we were as close to that line as we were ever going to get, but it turns out, not. I feel a bit distraught on behalf of muppets everywhere, even despite my muppet phobia.

So the person I brought the cupcakes in for was just tested for swine flu and isn't allowed to return to work until the results come back.

Awwwww.

Woah!

I would say cluh-FOO-tee. megan walker?

I thought we were over that? I mean, I would hope that someone with any generic flu would stay home but to not be allowed sounds extreme. You work in an office, right? Not a hospital/day care/some other kind of place where people might be delicate?

My day has been slightly bananas, including a missing teenager and two different coworkers asking me if two other coworkers were pregnant. (I have no information about either.)

I still think the best Muppet-inspired fashion ever was that woman who attended a con in a Cookie Monster-fur outfit, complete with his head on a pike.

There's been another surge in cases in the province, spurred by members of a bunch of military bands getting and spreading the illness during an annual concert we have here. My co-worker's cousin was in the concert, was ill, and borrowed my co-worker's car while she was sick.

I think the whole think is exacerbated by the fact that her boss sent her home yesterday.

Frankly, I'm hoping it means a week of quarantine for me too!

Hey Kat, when you emerge from the shoe fiasco (or maybe as relief while you're going through it) want to go shopping sometime soon, sans kids?

And in random transitions, the "treatment of overweight" thing makes my skin crawl, but since I teach health science students I have to accept it as correct use of English. Oh the travails of me!
