I made it to work today. In fact, I’m still sitting at my desk (with four minutes ’till quittin’ time). I feel like cow dung. Just getting beaten down by a bad cold.
I was prepared today. I brought a new, unopened box of tissues with me. When I sat down at my desk at about 8:45am I opened it up, pulled out that first tissue, honked my nose, and logged into work.
Around 4:00pm that box of tissues was empty.
This has not been a good day. Barring a miracle cure, I’d say there’s about a 0-5% chance of me not calling in sick tomorrow.
This sucks.
