You know what a dedicated employee is....

it's a person who just returns from a week long vacation and has a stomach virus, but comes to work anyway. This person then throws up in her trash can in her office.

I was that person today. And boy, am I sick.

When I got in my car to go home at 4:45 today I had chills. When you have chills as you enter a car that is probably at 125 degrees that is a definite sign you are sick.

To make it better, our annual state review began at work today, unannounced. The day after I return from being out of the office for a week. The day I vomit in my office.

It continues tomorrow too.

Hoss has not had the virus yet. That probably means he will get it at about 3 a.m. tomorrow morning, 30 minutes after I experience vomiting round two.

My husband doesn't do gross bodily fluids (even though he is the one who is getting over this, but he has an awful cold that goes along with it that we don't have).

It may be a long week. A long, long week.

Oh man...miserable!
Are you feeling any better yet?

Oh man! That's not good! I'm assuming that it's the same thing that my mom and I are getting over. If it helps at all, it should be done in 24 hours. Feel better!

Hi, I'm Audrey. I'm finally getting a chance to read all of the blogs from the bloggy carnival and loving what I'm finding.

I really hope you feel better. Yep, you are certainly dedicated. Hope they appreciate you at work.
