being sick sucks

yesterday, my throat felt like lava was being poured down it every time i spoke, and unfortunately my job consists of me talking all day. fortunately, however, i only talk to co-workers and not customers so i can tell them to "fuck off and die and leave me the hell alone." and apparently my raspy voice scared so many employees that they sent me home early. today and tomorrow i have to do the family thing so i'm taking Zicam, Airborne, and Tylenol Cold in order to try to avoid being grouchy. it's working a little.
