I love when people call, hear me cough/talk and say, "Oh my! You sound terrible!" This is as I'm getting better. I can't even imagine what they'd be saying if they heard me last week. A eulogy maybe? I dunno. Also, being sick means blowing your nose etiquette goes right out the window. Screw going to the bathroom or doing dainty noises. I sound like a sewage line being unclogged... and feel like it. It's loud, full of snot and if my coworker doesn't like it she can go file something. I'm tired and really would love to be home. Alas... the sick time won't allow that. I look forward to the time when I am healthy and have hundreds of hours of sick time on the books. Right now it's vacation time. I feel too guilty asking for time off after being sick. Damn Jewish guilt gets me every time.
