sinus joys

God damn it. That sinus thing that's been haunting me for the last few weeks has finally settled in to roost. This is likely to mean at least a week of me stumbling around zombified and decidedly... hmm. Sinusy.

And so, a question: If, when one was hired, one was told that the company policy was "If you're sick, we'd rather have you stay at home because many of us have small children," does one take that to heart, or assume that sore throat and sinus headache do not apply? At my old job I always assumed that if I could drag myself to class, I could drag myself the rest of the way to work, because if I didn't they would be short-handed for the stuff that needed to get done. And if I did and they didn't need me, they would send me home. I'm not sure how that logic applies to this job. :/

Update: I'm in the office, drinking tea, and hoping that I can convince people to let me go a little early today... maybe a half-day or something like that. Sinus things always hang onto me forever if I don't make a concerted effort to lose them early.

local news

I hate when OTF_Wank catches stuff from my city.

The continuing saga of rfjason's little 'prank,' as carried by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Can't we export him and Eyman to some other state yet?

fic

Fandom: Babylon 5
Title: Shadows of the Past
Characters: Delenn, Dukhat, and Lennier. It's a Minbari love-fest over here. Well... not quite as much 'love-fest' as it might have been. But still.
Rating: PG-13ish
Disclaimers: Don't own it, don't make money off it, don't intend infringement. I just play with them.
Notes: For oszras, who wanted to see some of Delenn and Dukhat’s backstory. I apologize for Lennier - he wouldn’t let me leave him out. Better him than Sheridan, I suppose.

The latter parts of this were written in part under the influence of a fierce cold. Please remember this, and be kind. Many thanks. I'm going to bed now.

(Also, if anybody knows of a good community or some such to post B5 fic to...? I'd love to get my writing out a bit more, but I'm still new and afraid to poke around too much for fear of the evil spoilers. I'll be getting S5 this weekend, though!)
