I'm sick :( I have an ear infection and a sinus infection to accompany it. I haven't had an ear infection since I was about 10 years old. Yesterday at work, after suffering through a busy day, I informed the higher ups that I would be leaving early to see an Urgent Care doctor and get some medicine. One of them replied, " Well you sound sick but you don't really look sick." I guess I take that as a compliment and an insult for two reasons:
1. Just because I'm sick does not mean I can't put on my best face and look presentable. When I got ready that morning I made it a point to not wallow too much in the sickness and put on some damn mascara. Any lady would.
2. How does "sick" look? Just because I didn't schlep into the office and hype up the dramatics with loud nose blowing and complaining doesn't mean I'm not sick. I felt terrible but managed to pull together a cute outfit and brave the commute to get there. Give me some credit!

You and half of Washington have this bug. I got the ear infection part and walked around lopsided for a week, feeling dizzy all of the time. Get well soon.
hey, I twas sick today too. Cheers to the 'call-in-sick' gang. uuuhhhhhgghhh...I'm going back to bed
My coworker is sick now too. I know about 10 other people. I hope I don't catch it!!! Hope you feel better - you should get some pho!
i had no idea the bug was going around so quickly. a couple of people in my office are sick as well.
mappy - pho is just glorified ramen!! why pay for a bowl of pho when i can break open ramen for 10 cents ;) just kidding. actually the boy is a big fan of pho and we go to this great place in annandale for it.
Sorry darlin. No fun. Yep, I'd be the one blowing too loud in the office for sympathy. take care of you.
