Monday: week ahead not looking good

Sometimes you just know . . .

Took off today to work on a private project. Sick day. A "use it or lose it" day, since the end of the year is approaching and I've got 2 weeks backed up and they're not extending us more than 3 days into the new year (something about federal law considering it a taxable benefit). Theoretically, I could sick-out half of December, but that would (a) screw up my co-workers and (b) screw up my deadline projects as well.

But I'm tired.

Problem, though: whenever I sick-out when not sick, I inevitably get sick the next day or two. I'm starting to feel the shivers already. Life is a cruel ironist.
