Poll question: I'm home from work sick today. What should I do with myself?
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 08:22 AM by VelmaD
I've been up feeling urp-y and decided not to go in. My stomach hurts too much to sleep. Help me figure out what to do with my day.

1. I've actually watched
Alien while home sick. It actually made me feel a lot better about my gastrointestinal woes. :hi:

2. Heeeee...
If it's winning after lunch I'm gonna pop it in the VCR. At this point I'm not sure a chest-bursting alien wouldn't be preferable...at least after it popped out my tummy wouldn't hurt anymore. Granted, I'd be dead...:shrug:

4. *snort*
I thought about putting "write birthday porn for short bus* as a poll option. Just not feeling up to it though.

Hey, I got a question. How do you say "I need a hug" in German? :) Or "My feet are cold - will you go make me some hot chocolate?"

40. Oh no...
you hit that end and there's no telling what'll come out of my mouth...and it won't be crying or screaming at you in German not to stop. *urp*

I really hate being sick. Up until about 6 months ago I hadn't thrown up in almost 20 years. Then my body decided it was an option again and is trying to make up for lost time. Blech.

16. Unless they've updated in the last 3 days...
I am currently caught up over at literotica.com. ;)

This may come as a HUGE shock...but I'm not really in a porn-y mood. I know...IT'S A WORLD GONE MAD!!!!!111

Now...if someone wanted to come read porn TO me and I didn't have to make any effort...

33. So that really means...
they'll be out sometime next Thursday.

Hope whatever they do fixes the problem. You'll have to let me know how their temporary fix compares to the one we tried.

to get you to pay for two visits to the house. But then...it is the cable company and lord knows they are USELESS.

$50 takes care of everything.

Actually, I have to give TW some credit. Their customer service isn't bad at all. At least I've had good luck with them. I sure as hell pay them enough...
