I've been sick way too much this past year. I mean, it's not just a lot of sickness ... it's been a nearly constant infirmity ... only in different forms. It sucks, not only because I don't like being sick, but because I can't call-in to work on those days when I just feel like sitting on the couch watching Comedy Central and downloading pirated software. It's a bit difficult when I called in for the flu, and then the stomach virus, followed a week later by a severe cold, only to be concluded with a bad case of 'not being able to walk' due to my hip .. which preceded the next flu outbreak by a few days. My employers don't even believe me when I truly am sick, let alone when I'm crying wolf.
Now the only thing that bothers me more than not being to get some free time from a well-polished lie is the fact that I can't get into a good workout routine. It seems to go something like this: "I'll go start working out again next week when I feel better" ... (one week later) ... "I'll go start working out again next week when I feel better" ... (another week) ... "I'll go start working out again next week when I feel better" ... (yet another) ... "I'll go start working out again next week when I can walk." So maybe you can see my frustration.
I mean, I am lazy, but I don't think that I'm sooo lazy that my mind is constantly tricking my body into a state of perpetual disease and thus torpor. Although I suppose if George Bush and his evil henchmen can trick the country into a state of perpetual disrepair and torpor then anything is possible.
