rhinovirus: 1 Siobhan: 0

[the_siobhan]

Axel has been pestering me to call in sick to work all week and I finally broke down today and did it. I sound like Tom Waits. Or more accurately I sound like what Tom Waits would sound like if you kept him in a burlap bag with no food or water for several days with a wet sweat sock lodged in his throat.

Not that I would ever advocate doing that to Tom Waits. Him being a musical genius and all. And from all third party accounts a pretty nice guy.

I also would not advocate wrapping Roy Orbison in cling film but that has more to do with the fact the guy has been dead for 11 years.

I think I'm hallucinating. I should probably go back to bed.

y I sound like what Tom Waits would sound like if you kept him in a burlap bag with no food or water for several days with a wet sweat sock lodged in his throat.

Or Tom Waits in a 32kbps MP3.
Or Tom Waits .rm files.

I have no real idea what this rhinovirus is (although I doubt you will grow horns), but I suspect Axel is right and you should hydrate and bed, for sleep or book or crap movie.

The crap going around sucks ass so staying at home is probably a Good Thing(tm). Ours lasted about 5 days, but only 2 of them were really rough. Hopefully you'll be on the mend by the weekend. I'm not advocating rum as a disinfectant, but it worked for me.

I've been feeding Siobhan lemon tea with Crown Royal. I think that works much the same.

Yes, you are clearly unwell.

(In a way that is distinguished from your usual... not-well-ness.)
