Sick Day!

Today I took my first ever sick day from work... Last night I had worked out and afterwards and I ached all over, more than normal. I don't get sick much in general, and in the past I would tough it out when I did get sick. I woke up at 7 AM and decided to pull the plug on the day. At 8 AM, I went back to sleep and woke up at 11:30. I then ordered a pizza for lunch, logged in to work, called into a meeting. At 3 PM, I went back for a nap and woke up at 5 PM.

Of course on a day like today I watched a lot of TV. I watched some MSNBC today, where they talk about the stock market and stuff. They make it feel like there's a lot of activity going on, a lot of talking, shouting, opinionated people. The thing that really amused me was when the showed the graph of the stock price of the company they were talking about, just to show how real time it was, they showed the current time down to the HUNDRETH of a second! Just made it look that much more busier, and hundreths of seconds counted by.

I thought you were aiming to have a "sick day" yesterday. You ordered a PIZZA for lunch on a SICK day? I think the real word for this is "mental health day". :-) I fully support mental health days.

i think that the hundreth of a second is marketing at its finest!
