I came down with it the day before Thanksgiving. By the time Friday rolled around, I could barely get out of bed. Oddly, I managed to contract Pink Eye at the same time ...lol. The flu was gone by Tuesday, but I still can't go back to work until Sunday according to the doc.
Pink Eye ...lol. Of all the stupid reasons to miss work. That call was hilarious to make.
Me > Hi, sir. It's me.
Sheriff > Hey , how's that flu? Hope you're back by Tuesday, cause I have a few things I want you to do.
Me > well, it's funny you mention it, but ....
< five minutes later >
Me > Are you done laughing yet, or should I just keep waiting, sir?
Sheriff > < stifling a chuckle > ...yeah, I'm done ...... Pinky. < snicker >
Me > ...... grumble...
So, I have that to look forward to when I return... Officer Pinky reporting for duty, sir. < groan >
