How many guys called off sick or used vacation time today?

I am using a vacation day. I am not going to the game, but I will be watching from the comfort of my home image

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

  • Man I screwed up. I used a sick day last week to take the bass boat to the lake and get it tuned up for the season.

    The Reds play today at 2:10. I wonder if I can find any streaming video of the game on the internet?

    I'm one of those idiots that agreed to pay $14.95 a month to watch MLB on a computer screen, so I'm at work today . . . listening to the games.

    For the first time in over 2 years, I made the call. It was strange and I *almost* feel guilty. image

    Im using today to get some stuff done that I have wanted to for quite some time. So, yeah, I should probably get off the computer and do them, huh? hehe

    I worked from home today. This past Saturday I helped a friend move, and he lived in a three story home for the past 10+ years and of course all the heavy stuff like TV's, MDF Based Cabinets, dressers, beds, etc. were on the 3rd floor. I spent 8 hours of constant lifting, carrying, and moving of heavy items. My legs are so sore that they literally are blue and purple in some spots where I obviously did some damage to the blood vessels in there. On the bright side, I burned a TON of calories doing all that moving and put quite a bit of muscle mass on my legs.

    Yesterday I went out golfing so my sides are sore from that and I got a nasty sunburn on my head and arms. Therefore, I took today as an opportunity to login from home and just work from home. Thankfully, there wasn't a whole lot going on so I didn't fall behind at all. image I then saw NY beat Tampa 9-5 and it is SICK how hard Rivera was throwing. He hasn't thrown that hard since 1996!
    I collect the elements on the periodic table, and some coins. I have a complete Roosevelt set, and am putting together a set of coins from 1880.
