So, that state of things is *grumble*. I've developed a nice case of the flu...shivers, sweats, aches, loss of appitite and of course, still having to find myself in the position of having to work. I'm normally sick two, maybe three times a year. When it happens, I"m always knocked on my ass, snot running like a fount of unending goo and have to drag my ass to work. There's a remarkable double-standard of my employees being able to call out a the drop of a hat - "Sorry buddy, my hat dropped. Um, yeah so now I need you to call and find coverage for me."

Tomorrow I need to miss out on my double-shift for two reasons... The first is...I feel like ass. The second is Elbereth's best friend from high school is State-side for her engagement party... M'girl & I both flaked out and completely forgot about it. We can't even stay for the whole thing...El's gotta work. So, I've spent all day calling around my agency, trying to cash in the innumerable favors I've done for other folk...worked while they had been in an accident, while in the drunk tank, while a daughter fell ill at school, broken bones, ass whoopings, broken-up w/ girlfriends and because they were just too busy. No leads, nothing. *sigh*

I'll probably end up taking a handful of Advil & decongestants, flopping out of bed w/ the shivers and infect every damn surface I can lay my clammy hands on. That'd show 'em but, I know I'd only have to work for them then, too.

Another things of late is all of my friends are 'greying out'... Starisea has successfully separated herself from this site *sniffle* and aside from her there've been 5-6 more. Oh, I can't buy gift memberships for everyone...
