Should have been "Freaky Thursday"

Well, it's always been pretty obvious that nobody works at The Stranger for the money. Happy to hear there are other perks.

Something is really going around. 3/4 of my family (includng me) are home sick today.

slog unhappy.

don't tell ecb, but it's the bird flu...zombie hordes will soon be breaking down the door to her safe-room to consume all 88 cans of Chef Boyardee she has hidden in her spider hole...

But at least the Zombie hordes will leave the Jack Daniels...

Everybody is sick.

Even I'm running on half steam today - and I never get sick.

If I had a quarter for every time I've heard a story about The Stranger's infamous kissing booth, I'd posting this from my private island in the Bahamas. Bring it back! But maybe wait until after flu season.

I know you're making some beaucoup bucks off your national banner ads, but...THIS FUCKING ANIMATED PAPA JOHN'S AD IS PISSING ME OFF!!

and i'm not getting all these new ads...the average SLOGGER is probably not that into Papa John's shittacular pizza or shops much at Lane Bryant, (not to disparage the big gals who DO read Slog, but I have the feeling most of you are hip big gals who shop someplace cooler than LB...)

there are loads of free browser add-ons that will nix any and all ads. i never see the slog with ads.

Speaking of ads, the same classmates.com ad appears three times in a row for me right. I'd be pissed if I were them.

Well, it IS Uranus Day! They're probably celebrating Uranus.

This is actually good for a couple of reasons.

1. I have a lot of work to do.

2. Maybe today's posts will all fit on the first page despite the really long posts that never seem to put anything after the jump.

I'm surrounded at work by morons that I wish had called out sick... not for today, but for the rest of their lives.

Everyone I work with is either sick or in San Francisco.

@10, ditto. Works great, except for Daily Kos, which somehow detects that you're blocking their ads and gives you a two-page lecture about it.

Sure, sick.

You people will do just about anything to get out of attending "Slog Happy Thursdays", won't you?

No 5: Calling it her spider-hole is sexist and disgusting.

You should be ashamed.

I thought this flu shit was over with. Last night I had a hankering for a Dr. Pepper and I drove two blocks to the Safeway on 15th (in Ballard) only to find it closed with a sign stating "everyone is sick."

Never before have I been so angry at Safeway.

Well, this does suck, seeing as how I have jack shit to do at work today.

However, if illness thins the herd sufficiently, it might not actually be that difficult to get a drink at Slog Happy tonight, so yay pestilence!

I was sent home by my boss at 10. I haven't been sent home in a long time. No slog happy tonight, though I am watching a trailer park boys marathon, so it is kinda like being at slog happy
