I had to send a TLA e-mail to work this morning

Following in the tradition of my employer (or at least my fellow employees) I sent an e-mail to work with the subject "OOO - NFW." In translation, "I'm staying home sick today."

After I made the decision, came home instead of catching the train, sent the e-mail, I took a nap for a couple of hours. Of course, now I'm feeling fine, and guilty that I'm not at work.

I suspect that what I was feeling was some combination of the allergy/sinus thing that has been plaguing me for a few weeks and yesterday's flu shot. robot_grrl was knocked back a bit by her flu shot as well, so this year's blend seems to trigger a more active response in the immune system than the ones for the last few years.

Hopefully, in a few weeks I'll know how the H1N1 vaccine hits us.

Another drawback to being home sick

This afternoon, I came downstairs and had to deal with Derrick telling me that the answer to his first, multiple choice, math problem wasn't there. Of course I found it in 10 seconds (but didn't tell him) and proceeded to point out that he was trying to add two numbers instead of multiplying them. The entire sheet was multiplication, not a + in sight. (A few -'s, but they were unary proceeding a negative operand).
