No voice
Okay, what about "My throat hurts, I barely have a voice. This morning I had no voice at all," seems like an invitation to engage in idle chit-chat? It hurts to talk!!! I should just go hide in my room, I guess. May be I should just go to CafePress and make myself a "Mute for the Day" T-shirt. But that wouldn't help with phone calls, I guess, which is what just happened.
