Been feeling under the weather the last 36 hours or so, with an increasingly sore throat and stuffy head. Also some lethargy. starting this morning. I have work tomorrow night and I actually don't want to call in, especially since that would really screw over the one other tech there tomorrow to have to somehow take care of three labs by himself for anywhere from four to twelve hours if no one volunteers to come in my place (and that seems as likely to happen as not), and I also worry, perhaps unnecessarily, that people would be tempted to think I was trying to exact some sort of revenge for having gotten called in to cover a sick person two weeks ago (I admittedly was not happy about having to cover with so little sleep). Please pray that this bug will go away by morning, and that I will have a perfectly good and peaceable string of work nights coming on Saturday through Monday.
