RSV got me
You don’t want to be here.
Before the virus hit, we did manage to see an early-early show of “A Complete Unknown.” I have to say before I go back to bed that the movie, its star, Timothée Chalamet, and my memories got me, too.
More tomorrow if this coughing will let up.
Your request for time off because of RSV has been approved. You are excused until Monday at which time should advise us of your improvement or need for an extension. Your permanent record shows that you have over 200,000 hours of sick leave remaining because you only used it three times since 1968. We have discussed your FOMO obsession in counseling sessions prompted by coworkers fear of not missing the viruses you shed while working feverishly to write essays and reports that made the opinion sections of major publications. Your dedication is admirable. Please lie down holding only 1-4 cats or Tracy. The department of Human Resources sends you their best regards. Bringing pastries and coffee will NOT get you access to the office until Monday. My sincere hopes for a fast recovery, Linda
Take care of yourself, and do what the doctor, and Tracy, tell you to do!
