I have called in sick. I feel horrible and I'm sure that, being the first day, I'm contageous, and my coworkers would probably prefer that I not give it to them, but every time I call in sick I feel guilty. I feel as though the person on the other end is automatically suspicious, and wonder if I should have laid back and hung my head off the side of the bed to make my voice sound really bad. Which is stupid - why should I have to fake things up so they'll believe me when I'm really sick? Gah. It's all in my head, right?
Anyhow, regardless of being sick I do have to deliver this bike, today. Eor's giving his old bike away, and the girl who's taking it lives in Portland, so I have to drive to Portland anyhow. I should not actually be driving, I think, but I'll take the slower route (Rt 1) and not do 70 down the highway. I may even detour through Sodom, if I can find the turn. :)

As for the feeling guilty, I totally understand how you feel, because it's exactly how I feel when I call in sick.
