Letters from the Fishmum, taxi/black car edition

Oh, the internet has reminded me that I'd like you to have the contact info for some 24 hour transportation on you. Particularly if you start going to places outside of walking distance with friends at all hours.

I don't expect that you would get into a sticky situation knowingly, but since shit can get weird pretty fast sometimes, and I would like to spare you the awkwardness of trying to share a one person bed with Shawn and his new fuckbuddy while he bangs her and you have just used your coat for a pillow and got chocolate covered cherry all over the inside of the pockets and it's -30 F and you really just want your nice, quiet, not being banged in, dorm room. This is an example of a very awkward situation and also abuse of dependent clauses.

Not that I imagine you will acquire a Shawn, but I think you get my drift.

Love,
Fishmum

Doing it right, workplace contagion reduction style

I was feeling Unwell Friday, which I thought was from unwise choices Thursday. But then there was the really painful sneeze attack.

I was feeling generally tippy and short of breath Saturday, with a few bouts of painful sneezing.

Sunday I had a sore throat and sinuses dripping hither and yon.

Monday it had moved into my lungs.

Today, there were physical papers I actually had to examine at work. Lungs? Still well below capacity on account of the aliens in them. And odds were that in anybody other than me, this would probably be a mild summer cold, but my lungs are really bad and don't shrug off stuff at all well.

Nevertheless, I wanted to reduce my co-workers' chances of getting whatever I have, while getting the paper side of things done.

I'd warned my Overlady of my status, so she'd know to steer clear of me. As her 1:1 with our manager was wrapping up, I heard voices from the direction of the meeting room. I popped from my cube like a gopher, and witnessed my Overlady double over with the giggles and my manager barely manage to cling to a little more composure than that.

Blue facemask: success.

(And then I came home, because my stamina is shot, I'm coughing up aliens, and I need to be functional tomorrow.)
