Working sick

Ugg. Nothing beats having to come in to work when you're sick because there's a big presentation you have to give and you're so anal that the thought of someone else slaughtering your presentation is enough to cancel your chemotherapy appointment and reschedule your wedding date. Maybe it's just me.

My voice is so hoarse that I probably will sound particularly pathetic... which I might milk for sympathy. I can say that I'm sick, just like our rivers are sick, and then follow it up by turning around and having a tear run down my face. Ah, guilt... Unfortunately I think it mainly works on an individual basis and not a societal one... how else could you explain why there are so many hungry and homeless children in this country?
