I'm calling in sick today. I have guilt, being the day after a holiday and the day after the Rose Bowl, which I attended with my teller supervisor, but there's no way. I didn't sleep all night, I have a fever, and I can't breathe or stop coughing. Bleh.
I just realized that I saw a lot of movies in 2007. Also, it wasn't a bad year.
2007 Highlights
