P.T.O.

Yesterday I "worked from home," and actually worked. What good it did anybody is questionable.

After a fever of 100°F and soaking the sheets twice last night, I decided to call in sick today.

But we don't have sick days at my company. It's all Personal Time Off. Whether you're sick and miserable or lounging on a beach, it's all P.T.O. to them (I realize some have had this forever, but it's new to me).

The reasoning is to combat bogus sick days - when people call in sick, but they're not. Some call them "mental health days".

Ha! I need a mental health month.

Oh well. I feel somewhat better. Probably back to the grind tomorrow.

eek. I was just thinking that I was sorry I didn't get to talk to you more on Sunday night... but now I'm kind of glad I didn't get too close to you. I hope you feel better today!

Come climbing on Saturday night in Philadelphia at Go Vertical. Everybody is doing it. I don't have your email address at home to send you the note.

Climbing sounds cool, but I'm out of town this weekend.

Definitely next time if "everybody is doing it", cause I roll like that.

Email address is all the way at the bottom of every page on my site, though you won't see it if you're getting rss feeds.
