reminds me of what george costanza said once about nose picking:
GEORGE: So let's say in her mind she witnessed a pick. Okay, so then what?
JERRY: Is that so unforgivable? Is that like breaking a commandment? Did God say to Moses "thou shalt not pick"?
GEORGE: I guarantee you that Moses was a picker. You wander through the desert for forty years with that dry air ... You telling me you're not going to have occasion to clean house a little bit?
i always feel guilty when i miss work for illness, which i think ensures that i don't take advantage of the situation by calling off unnecessarily. i have a rule -- if i get fewer than four hours of sleep that night, i don't work the next day. and in this case, four hours would have been paradise. i'm on the phone with my allergist and the ear-nose-throat guy as soon as i wake up. :)
