I might have gone to work, but I work in a hospital, and we have strict reasons for not coming to work when we're sick. Also, my job requires me to interact with the scientists and doctors, and I'm always into and out of the labs. I'd spread this everywhere, so I really needed to stay home. Plus, it's hard to talk (necessary for my job), and even harder than usual to hear (my ears feel like they're thoroughly stuffed with cotton from the inside).

I'm sorry you're at work though, hun. Hang in there.

Also, it's a damned shame you don't live closer to here. So many Trek folks in the Kansas City area. You'd be fun to have on board our little ship. :)
