I didn't go into work yesterday due to what seems to have been a stomach virus. I was exhausted from my night spent lying in bed on Wednesday wishing there was something in my stomach to actually throw up. How do you like that for over sharing?

Better return to work, don't want the servers to put the salads where the desserts go and the desserts where the salads go!
