Ugh. Well it seems I'm now down to monthly entries here at Ye Olde Blog ....

I'm
not even going to use my old "Facebook" defense -- mostly because 90%
of the folks who read my blog are on my friend list and they're also
guilty ... well, ok not all of them ... but if I'm going down I'm taking
someone with me!!
JUST ONE MORE MUGSHOT
---->
Seen in the "Arrested" section of my local newspaper's online edition. I
won't come up with a snappy quotation to go with this one because to be
quite honest, the picture of this man makes me really sad -- how does
someone end up like this?
THE SICK DAY THAT WASN'T
---->
So I wake up this morning feeling really bad -- I was convinced that at
some point during the evening, a truck had burst through my house and
ran me over while I slept. After coming to the conclusion that my
condition would warrant calling in dead to work, I notified my boss [via
email] who in turn promptly started a campaign of harassment against
me. A long story short, he is one of those type of people who believes
that people do not get sick -- EVER. After an hour of back and forth
emails, he finally tells me that another person at the office is out
again today. Since there are only four of us at the office, both of us
being out on the same day is a disaster in the making. I ended up going
into work, but by 3:30pm it was apparent to the big guy that I truly was
sick and he actually apologized for giving me a hard time and told me
to go home -- AND stay home tomorrow if I still wasn't feeling any
better. Ordinarily I'd ask "Who are you and what have you done with my
boss?!" but I like this version so the other can just stay gone!!
And since I'm still making the every 10 minute run to the bathroom, I will end tonight's entry here....
