JINXED!!!!

It figures. I'd post about someone else's misfortunes and the toe illness that befell them and damn if I don't go and get sick myself! I think I was jinxed by Fate herself. I acquired what I affectionately like to refer to as "The Funk." It's that mysterious, highly-contagious illness that presents every symptom known to man - somewhat of a hybrid, morphed, cold-flu-respiratory infection with a dash of migraine thrown in for good measure. Never the less, I got it. I fought it. It won. I was down for the count for four days. It was the quietest four days in recent history. I will never again make fun of others' creative call-outs.

Best Sick Day Call - EVER!

This is quoted verbatim from one of our staff members who will be working from home today. Absolutely hilarious. If all employees could be this creative....

"Today I will not be able to make in into the office. An unfortunate big toe condition has left said toe very swollen and tender, and its not really an option to walk on it today. Tomorrow will (hopefully) be better, even if I show up in flip flops or something. I apologize for such late notice, as I wanted to see how it felt in the morning before I made this decision. I tried calling you @ 8:20, but I spose you were not at your desk. If you would like to reach me, XXX-XXX-XXXX, also MSN. I do volunteer to work from home today, as I am not sick, I just have a flat toe-tire."
