today i cawled in sick. why is it that i still feel like a lying 12 year old every time i have to cawl in sick even though i am nearly 28 years old and an attorney? luckily my voice has been impaired by the head cold, rendering it super scratchy and squeaky, thus validating my sickness in my mind. nonetheless i still felt the sense that mary lou the secretary was challenging the validity of my sickness when i reported it to her this morning. i even felt the need to make my tone sound despondent and hopeless, and i secretly hoped that mary lou would send around a firm e-mail saying something to the effect of, "owfice burn has cawled in sick today. she sounds just awful! please everyone keep her in your prayers!" she actually did that last week for a fellow secretary. i smell conspiracy. they're always watching out for each other. she definitely thinks i just milked my extra groggy morning voice. it's probably even the water cooler discussion of the day. i guess i'll just have to cawl in sick tomarra too. ya know, to make it seem more legit.
