Sickly spouting Latin ...

It's funny how people respect you more for calling in sick than for dragging your ass in and promising to be there half the day. Because, of course, if you made it in, you obviously aren't too sick to stay, right?

*thhhbbbpt* I only came at all because we have another one of those meetings at 10, and I scheduled a lunch get together days ago with a friend of mine. Plus, it's Friday. There are some things I need to clean up in the Access rolodex before the weekend. Beyond that ... I don't care what my co-workers think. My job requires a functioning brain to turn out anything worthwhile, and I'm already out of steam just from getting here ... Please don't make me cough up half a lung to prove it!

*sniffle* *cough* You know you're too sick to be going to work when you turn the radio to its designated "loud" setting and your ears are too clogged to make out more than half the words ...

Anyhow. I heard from my dear exiled friend again yesterday ... She actually found my website and tried to leave me a guestbook entry, but no such luck, she must have hit the wrong button. Oh well. It sounds like she's doing better than usual ... and has a new romantic interest already. Go girl.

... Here I was going to say Illegitimi non carborundum, but none of the Latin sites I found this morning list any legal way to say that. Apparently, Romans never really said to one another, Don't let the bastards grind you down, and even if they did, they wouldn't use that phrase.

So instead I say Si finis bonus est, totum bonum erit, and Vade in pace.

(If you feel the need to decipher that, go here).
