Dear boss:

[opabinia]

I will not be coming in today. I have a sore throat so nasty, the phrase "sore throat" doesn't do it justice. I might turn off my cell phone, but I'll check it for messages. Email is a better way to reach me today.

G- -- the BPAEC in the 6-well plates should be ready for starving. Any 10cm dishes should be fed, passaged, or discarded (I think we still have a dish of IMR90 in the incubator). The cDNA I made last week is in the -20, in a plastic vial labeled with the sample numbers and their conditions. Please don't hesitate to drop me a line -- my throat hurts like hell, but typing is painless. :)

The Sun has risen on what we call a "sick day." Don't feel bad for me: As reasons to stay home go, a painful sore throat is among the less unpleasant. I can go to the doctor and get it tested (Strep? Demonic possesion?), then smother it in anaesthetics.

I vote for demonic possession. But then, I usually do.
