Swing low, sweet chariot

April 28th, 2008

On the plane home from Hawaii, Kevin and I had for a row-mate a hacking, sneezing, writhing mess of a man.

“Don’t worry,” he said to Kevin, just before take off. “I’m not contagious.”

Bull. Shit.

Kevin was sick all last week, and as usually happens, I developed the symptoms a week later. I am now a hacking, sneezing, writhing mess of a woman.

And I can’t stay home from work tomorrow because they are moving me to a new desk on Wednesday and I need to pack.

I think there should be a special section on the plane for sick people and crying babies. Or they should have to pay a fine. Why should those bastards get to torture the innocent with impunity?

Sorry, it’s the cough syrup talking.

    Oh, I hear you. After my joyful hell of Holiday travel? Yeah. I’m with ya, girl friend.

    Love the sparkly new banner.

    U - thanks for the company, my misery needs it today. And glad you like the banner; I totally loved the mannequin. I’m not sure the store salesman liked me taking pictures of it, though. I’m such a daredevil! :)

    I think they should be quarantined with the criers for sure. Paying a fine doesn’t prevent others from getting sick. Although, I have to say - do the crying babies deserve to get sick? Maybe 2 separate quarantines? ….this is getting tricky…

    Hey, I didn’t ask to come down with the plague here in India, but at least I have 7 more days before I travel… and I really SHOULD be non-contagious.

    It’s a dilemma… I don’t wanna fly, but I really don’t wanna stay here, either.

    Get well, you two!
