My official boss (ie from the temp agency rather than my day to day supervisor) just came in and cheerfully informed me I won a $50 American Express Gift Certificate because I was their only temp employee for the month of January not have any unscheduled absences.
The irony comes in the fact that I have a loud, gooey, obnoxious cold in my head which shows every sign of laughing at me and lingering for the rest of my natural life - and here I am working. (I suppose it would have been even more ironic if I had called in sick today, but having just have almost two weeks of unpaid vacation, and not getting paid for sick days, I am sitting here feeling and apparently sounding like a bucket full of snot and gravel.) Heh. That's all I have to say..

b) Even if I haven't the slightest idea what a bucket full of snot and gravel feels or
sounds like, don't carry this yin / yang thing too far. Please get well soon? [huGG]
c) You *will* be well by ConCertino, right? :)
Oh, and congrats on the Grindstone Award.

c)I surely hope so - at least, if it's the SAME cold by then I'll be very upset!
and thanks ever so! *G*
