Dear Job...

Dear Job,

I am writing this knowing that by putting it into words I'm making it less likely to happen, but that is a risk I am going to have to take. Job, if you cause me to catch swine flu, I am going to laugh. I am going to laugh through the pain and misery. Hard. Personally, I would prefer that the risk that a co-worker's girlfriend is likely to have it scares my boss enough to have him quarantine the office and have us all work from home for a while, but I also know that, since I was only sick once this winter, in a very minor way, cruel irony is likely to make me one of the predicted 100 or so cases in Cook County. I even have experience at being an unlikely carrier in minor flu-like outbreaks. I'm an excellent candidate.

But seriously, though, if I catch the swine flu, it's going to be really funny. It'd basically be the best thing work has even given me.

P.S. It's true, I'm not sure how sarcastic I'm being here, and how much I'm telling the truth.

Should I chance to catch it, because I haven't had any sort of flu for... six years, I think, and that just screams "TAKE ME I'M YOURS" to this, want me to cough into an envelope and send it to you? XD

Oh sure! Though I'd prefer to catch it through normal, statistical unlikelihood. The irony is more delicious that way. And I suspect the secret service that are no doubt in my post office might get upset at a swine flu envelope. (-;
