Today was supposed to be my first day back at work in a year. It wasn't.

Why, you may ask? Because I have managed to come down with pink eye. (Seriously, I look like the Undead.) Fortunately the little girl, who probably brought it back from daycare, is perfectly fine.

I'll be at work tomorrow, though likely still with the dayglow pink eyes. (Such an attractive look. /sarcasm)

Fortunately, I didn't have much to do. Yet. And the eyes are almost back to normal.

What a shame!! Hope it clears up very quickly. It's amazing what kids pick up at daycare and schools.

Your workmates will probably look at your 'attractive' new look in horror. ;)

Fortunately, Ros doesn't seem to pick these things up herself when she passes 'em along.

As for the new look, I got a few "I didn't want to ask..." comments when I mentioned I had pink eye.

I was mostly trying to sort out my desk, so no scaring of the co-workers went on. *g*

The eyes are better. I can lose the cough anytime, though.

Oh dear. Yes, well, and it would happen now, wouldn't it? Here's hoping it clears up quickly! Work will always be there.... *g*

At least the new boss is totally understanding. And there wasn't much to do, so I could deal with email and hack a lung out without worrying about getting behind.

Happy first day back at work, hon!! I hope it's not too weird for you and that your undead eyes are back to normal pronto. ;-)

The eyes are getting there. (Now if the cough would only get lost.)

So far, work isn't looking too bad. And at least one of my replacements is extremely happy to see me. (Haven't seen the other two yet.)

I hope that you get well soon and a happy first day back at work for you.

I'm getting there. Thankfully. And work was almost restful. There was no chasing of toddlers, which is fun but exhausting. Though I'm sure the first time I have to train cranky adults I'll be wishing for the toddler.

Hope they go easy on you first day back.

I hear the weather isn't that great for a first day back.

Work was pretty non-eventful. (Getting email sorted; obtaining access to my network files; hooking up with my usual lunch dates.)

Fortunately the weather wasn't too crappy. Just enough rain to be annoying, but none of it froze.

Oh...Schmooie!

Hugs back!

We must plan another outing soon.

Glad to hear the eyes have cleared!

Yes please! Another outing would be GREAT!!
