So, I played hooky from work yesterday.
I called in sick, said I had a cold. No problems. Later that day, I get a call from someone wanting to interview me for a job, and I set one up for Wednesday morning at 9.

So, never one to let a perfect opportunity pass me by, I'm at work today, continuing pretending to be sick so I can say I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. Apparently, they are buying the rouse fully, as I'm being sent home at 2 because I don't sound well.

I knew all those times faking sick in high school would pay off someday. :thumbsup:

5. I'm the only one here that knows how to even use a computer.
I work with 4 65+ year olds. They need my help to run MS Word.

6. No worries there.
Like I said above, no one here knows how to even use a computer, and they most certainly won't know Vash is me.

Further, my own computer is personally built, firewalled, and password protected for my own security. Ain't no one getting into my machine but me.

11. Waiting for those calls is the WORST.
There is NOTHING you can do, and every time the phone rings, you're on pins and needles.

Best of luck to you too!! :hug:
