Good to be back...

[lady__croft]

I hate to say this but it is so good to be back at work again. I have some minor annoying tasks to get through - all financial related (invoicing, visa reconciliation, month end, budget worksheet prep, Finance notes) but once they are done it should be somewhat relaxing around here. No Phil for the next week and a half so I am on shortened hours -

Love the avatar. And it's such a shame about Niviene being so freakin' sick. Honestly, one asshole chooses to come in to work when they're ill, and innocent people suffer.

Yes. Fortunately she is getting lots of rest. I hate it when people come in sick to work. And what is so annoying now are those commercials for various medicines designed to work miracles and make you feel as though you are well. The ads practically encourage and promote the fact that you should still go to work when you are sick!! There is one ad that features a woman with a cold who takes whatever brand medicine that renders her feeling so well she goes swimming in a public pool. Great - just what I want - "an incubus of viral plague" contaminating an entire public area. Why do these people not just listen to their bodies, stay home and heal rather than force themselves to work?? Other than the President of the US dealing with a nuclear crisis, I really can't think of any job that is so demanding that it requires such devotion. That said, I'm not entirely sure what Niviene has is what her boss had, although I am certain that by exposing her to whatever he did have, he only made it worse.

I totally hate that commercial! I've been sick these past few weeks, but not nearly as bad as Niviene. So I noticed those ads, and I was horrified thinking of sickos hitting the pool. I sure as hell wasn't going to do it - disgusting.
