Roll out the barrel

Got to work today. Didn't feel any better at all, but thought I had to go to work. Two days without pay is way enough. Feeling hugely unlike going when I got up. Couldn't hear hardly anything out of my left ear, and liked to have kept on sleeping. 

Got a doctors certificate yesterday for the two days off, even though not getting paid for it they do like that in the office. The dept head had the predictable worry today about the 3 Mondays in a row, meh, whatever. I just don't care. Reminded him this whole work thing was sort of an experiment and I may decide in the end it's too much. 

Did have a bit of a funny conversation at work today. Mate there is having a big hard time over personal issues, he asked me this morning how I was, I answered that I was "wonderful" and life was "a barrel of laughs". He caught the sarcasm. Later I saw him and said "Roll out the barrel", he thought that very funny and replied "we'll have a barrel of fun". Got to keed a sense of humour about these things.
