Worst. Day. Ever.

So here's what I'm up against today:

I'm sick. Like sick as a dog. My head hurts, my throat is numbly raw, I've thrown up a couple of times and when I move around, I feel like I'm floating. I'm just horribly blugh. So why did I come in to work? Well, it's a funny story really...

My neighbor, Andy, works with me, and he was supposed to work with me today. So last night, knowing that I wouldn't survive a day at work, I tried to tell him that I wouldn't be coming in. In the end, he wasn't home, so I left him a note on his door saying that I would come in, but only until someone else came in to cover for me.

Well when I got to work, Andy wasn't there and neither was anyone else. So I rushed to get the Box Office opened... when I realized I didn't have my keys. I went upstairs, got the spare keys, and then opened up the Box Office and made do with the first wave of calls. Then Jason, the business manager who sacrifices himself to help out with the Box Office, showed up and told me that Andy called in sick. Poor guy was sick himself! Argh!

Well, I was already here, so I figured that it was smart just to stay and work... it's not a remarkably strenuous job now, is it? Besides... I'd forgotten my keys! I couldn't get back inside the house. Still, I knew Lee was gonna stop by on his way to work to check on me, so I'd just let him know I needed the house key from him and then it would all be fine.

But when Lee stopped by, I was on the phone and then Jason was talking to me and Lee was fussing about my being ok... and I forgot. That's right. I forgot to tell him I forgot my keys. I didn't realize I forgot until a good ten minutes after he left... and he hasn't got a cell phone. So yeah. That was a great moment. All the world seemed to stop spinning and all I could think about was that I was going to be stuck for six hours when I should be sleeping in bed...
...and the dogs! They would just mess everywhere!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

Thankfully I had the presence of mind to call my parents. They might be able to save me by going to Naples and getting the house key from Lee. We'll see how it goes.

I just feel like crud. And my tea is way too hot to drink. Ugh. Blugh.
This is just the worst day.
Worst. Day. Ever.
