But on the plus side, you provided me with an excellent excuse to use my snifty new icon!

...I'm sorry you're feeling lousy. Can you get some Tums or something? Or some broth? I'm a big fan of broth.

I'm doing the "lots of cold water" thing, and it's helping a little.

Your snifty icon, although well-representative of my current state, isn't helping any. ;)

Awww! I reccomend Tylenol 3. You may still get sick, but it'll make you numb enough that you won't mind! :D

And might I add that I am totally coveting your work place right now? Days with nothing to do but joke around with "Team Not-Irony", massively awesome Super Bowl Spreads... hell, I'm only an hour and a half from Detroit right now, and I'm not having this much fun! :p

Hope you feel better soon!!!

Eh, it's not so hot. I wish I had real work to do, instead of sitting around trying to invent busy work. We're supposedly gearing up for a massive rewrite of all of the software (and thank goodness, it NEEDS it!) but until then we're all spinning our wheels.

Bleh. I can totally commiserate as I had the stomach flu this week and food is still making me a little sickish. I hope you feel better soon, and take it easy if you can.

*grumbles*I totally had a streak going, too.

Mmmm, pierogies .... sorry, what was the question?

You had food poisoning? I thought it was just the flu. How did I miss that?!

It could be worse, you know. All of this could have happened a couple days ago, when we had no water. X_x

Oh, yeah, sorry. I thought I told you, but then, I could have totally forgotten to and not noticed. The day before, someone at work had a lunch meeting catered by Panera, and left the leftovers outside the conference room for any takers. I snagged a garden veggie sandwich, not because I particularly like them, but because hey, free food, and I stuffed it in the fridge. Then, the next day, I had it as part of my lunch. Big mistake. First off, it was so chock-full of bleu cheese that my lactose-intolerant stomach wouldn't have dealt with it well anyway, but on top of that, it must have gone off, because I was too nauseous to work much that afternoon and ended up leaving work an hour early.

Fun times!
