OK. there are 3 out of 24 people in my office today

[minxnim]

and i know at least 10 of them aren't sick because when i was running last night i saw them all going out to dinner at 10 pm! THE FUCKING BASTARDS!

i am mad, i should note, because this makes the receptionist's job really hard when no one is here.

I FEEL THAT.

"hi, no they're not in right n-what? no, I'm not sure if they were-what? no, I have no idea when-what?" etc etc

 

[minxnim]

yea, like all of a sudden because everyone's sick i know all their business? all i keep saying is, "no, i cannot forsee their exact time of cure, if you can, i will defer to your medical expertise, please leave them a message".

hippie non-profiteers! when i worked in nonprofit, i think there was never a week during which SOMEONE wasn't out. including me.

 

[minxnim]

there are always people out. i mean, probably more than 50% of my coworkers are HIV+ so it's to be expected, but this is insane. people are like, totally riding this wave of a flu virus going around. 'oh me too! me too!', irritably, one of the people who DID show up today is really sick but knew all these pricks would call in.

OH CRAP.... BURN!!!

 

[minxnim]

i think the fact that i have cancer sort of cancels out the 'burn' factor of this actually.

[minxnim]

sorry dudes didn't mean to bring the room down

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

hey, I thought my comeback was HI-LARIOUS!

 

[minxnim]

me too i totally pictured a rocking party gone suddenly dead and like, everyone turns around and looks at me like, WHAT?

a friend of mine can totally make the cricket chirp sound with his mouth. He totally breaks it out at opportunities like this.

 

[FuSoYa]

i can make that sound too! you whistle, whilst fluttering your uvula.

preppy, sorry to hear you have cancer.

 

[minxnim]

i usually try to make the creepy "ghost town" noise like, that happens when tumbleweed goes by and there's about to be a showdown.

these are my party favors !

 

[minxnim]
