dying to go home

yesterday, someone said to me, "have you heard about that stomach bug that's going around?" I said no - and then literally 5 hours later was doubled over in pain with stomach cramps. I had chills last night and was quite achy. I got up this morning feeling pretty much okay, and since I had stuff to do today (including dinner with a woman I just met in the same industry as me) I dragged myself to work.

bad idea.

so now I'm just holding on until I can drag myself home. I'm just hoping I can make it home in time.

man, I hope this isn't like the ring, where now that I've heard about it, I get it, and then if I tell someone else, THEY get it. wouldn't that be nuts? (sorry in advance and let me know if you get it too. we can write the screenplay together. I want to write the scene where the protagonist gets caught in a public restroom with no toilet paper and a stall door that doesn't lock.)

Oh that sucks. I hate it when you wake up and think "hey I'll be ok, it's just work, I sit there, I sit here, what's the difference" and then the ... uh... shit hits the fan. no pun intended. Hope you get all better soon and if I get sick I'm going to be REALLY pissed.

Oh Patrice, I'm so sorry. That sucks ass. I hate days when you can't take off but are sick so much. You better not have passed this on or bad things will go down.
