out_there: B-Day Present '05 (Emcee Welcome)

I'm sick.

Took the last two days off work, and I still feel pretty lousy. Apparently it's a nasty flu virus that's going around at the moment. And I just found out that I don't get paid sick leave until I've worked here for 3 months.

Already, I'm wishing I'd just stayed in bed this morning.

Also, I bought the plugs yesterday to let me tape-to-tape, using mine and mum's VCRs. Now I have three episodes of Hornblower on the same tape. I can't find another episode, that I was sure I had kept, so I must have taped over it. I wasn't too happy about that, as Archie and Horatio in the Spanish prison is so slashy.

Sending long distance {{hugs}} and hope you'll get through the day without it feeling too long.

The not getting sick leave for three months sucks! I've never come across a rule like that before.

And taping over something you want, that's the final straw sometimes :-(

Thanks for the hugs. I need them. At the moment, I'm feeling very sorry for myself, and wishing I was back in bed... and it's only been two hours at work.

I've come across it before, and I dislike it intensely.

I like your icon. It made me smile. *g*

It's the 'bite me' that gets me every time, combined with the sheer formality of the rest of it. Made by the wonderfully clever [livejournal.com profile] lanning. Glad I could add a little smile to your day, specially as you've so long to go. I'm just off to bed, the day before you!! Don't you just love the confusion of talking across the time zones....

I have all of Hornblower on tape. A copy could be arranged if you'd like. :-)

I'm going to use all of my pity me for I am sick vibes, and say, "Please?"

I was trying to tape them this time around, but I was disorganised. I would love a copy of all the Hornblower eps.

All of them, or are there some that you have and some that you don't? I'm going to be doing a lot of stuff for various people over the next week or so, so LMK and I'll put the ones you want in the queue.

Actually, I'll put up my hand for all of them. I have the last three episodes on tape, but with my lousy timing, I've managed to miss anywhere from the the first 5-30 minutes on each episode. *g*

Punctuality has never been one of my virtues.
