Hi I'm Just Calling To Say I Won't Be In Today

in life •  6 years ago 

I regret to inform you, the reader of this, there will not be a post today.

I realize I haven't missed a day of work in awhile.

I know you're sad.

I'm Not Feeling Well

Can't seem to post.

I don't know if I'm constiposted or just can't think.

(I wasn't the first to say it though... Oh well! I found that out later.)

I tried and I tried.  I sat here, nearly died.  No matter what I do, can't seem to post, my head feels fried.

I looked around, saw a lot of people posting the same thing.  "Netcoins!"  I didn't want to do the Netcoins post, even though I could, and then at least I won't have to call in sick today, but I can't even muster up the strength to be able to say Netcoins and mean it, so I won't.

Vote Today!

That's probably what I'd say if I was writing the Netcoins post.

Unfortunately, there will be no post today, at all.  If you'd like to read a post, read one of these:

They say:

"Old posts don't matter.  They'll base their conclusions about you on your current post and everything else is forgotten."   (It's probably better if you forgot about the bananas post.  I forgot to use the fiction tag.  How embarrassing.)

I realize you probably think I'm the Guy Who Calls In Sick but that's simply not true.  It's true today, sure.  I can admit it, I'm a guy and I just so happen to be calling in sick, today; but that doesn't mean all I do is call in sick.  I've done things.  A lot of things.  This place won't fall apart without me, so relax.  I'm not needed today.  My services are important, but ineffective today, because I'm not feeling well.

I'm contagious.  I don't want to see everyone else get sick and not be able to post.  That would destroy Steemit.  Then you'd have a reason to be pissed with me.  Be happy I'm not here to post today.  Say, "Thank you for staying home today, @NoNamesLeftToUse.  You're so generous and thoughtful."

No!

I wasn't out drinking again last night.

This isn't a hangover.  I have the shits and a headache.  I could barely get out of bed today.  No, that wasn't me at the bar.  I was on the toilet all night reading magazines and I'm very tired now because I didn't sleep.

I can't come in and post feeling tired like this.  Someone might get hurt, including me.  I'm afraid to go outside feeling like this.  What if I get hit by a bus because I was too tired to remember to look before crossing the street?  How will you explain that to the insurance company?  "We forced a sick man to post today."  Yeah, good luck with that, buddy.

Fine!

I'll get off my ass and do something.

See!

See what you made me do!

Even my art is sick today.  That guy just puked all over the sky!

Someone better tell Steem Cleaners to get the mop and bring extra gloves.  It's not my job to clean that up.

Conclusion

Sorry.

I can't come in to post today.  There will be no post.  If you came here looking for a post and noticed there isn't a post, don't worry, I'm simply not feeling well, it's not a big deal; I will get better.  Please do not send flowers.  Those happy looking helium balloons are cool though so send those.  The cat will destroy them but it's hilarious when they meow with helium voice so I wouldn't mind spending a day trying to make that happen.

Have a nice day.

I feel fine, but I will not be posting a comment.

Congratulations on feeling fine. Must be nice!
P.S. I'll respond later when I'm feeling better.

Just as well you couldn't post today as I'm having trouble commenting for the same reason today XD (and the other people in the house were apparently feeling neglected) XD So obviously there's no comment here either.

And definitely no upgoat.

Ceci n'est pas du texte.

Feeling better yet?

Take care of that man cold and I hope it doesn't turn into peenewmonia.
I also hope your constipostion clears up quickly.

I hope I don't need a week off. You know what they say about men who week off.

Lol one of these “No post today!”. Not that I’m here commenting now, I’m not! But you’ve always uplifted my mood.

Oh who am I fooling! There's a total of six hours worth of work that went into this post!

Why must I sabotage my chances at hitting the trending page...

😄

Looks like I'll be calling in tomorrow, too. That would keep the cat and I busy for a week. I'd keep the Dora one safe though. Don't ask why.

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

I figured some entertainment is always helpful when one feel ill.... and what entertains more than balloons and cats (I wouldn’t dare ask about Dora).

I also agree, all of this not posting is going to be tough on you.. you should probably take the rest of the week off just to be safe 😉

Your message can be The Doctor's Note and if anyone complains about my absence I'll just say I got permission so if anyone needs me, just point to the balloons. And yeah, don't dare ask about Dora.

Deal! I give you full permission for this...

also, some weirdo flagged my comment to you.. maybe it was the Dora thing 🤣

I snooped. Looks like you took about ten flags from a weirdo shortly after being honest and trying to help. I stepped on one of those hornet nests once. That individual ended up using a bot to flag everyone on steemit after my encounter with them. I think sometimes it might be better to just hand out Dora balloons to these people and let them figure out life on their own.

Yes, I downvoted a threat and stepped on the nest apparently. The comment flag made me laugh.. I assumed it was Dora 🤷‍♀️.. then looked.

I’ll stick to balloon gifs ❤️

Hope your non posting streak ends soon!

I was busy smashing keys in the middle of the night because I suck at faking sick.

I thought that was a drawing of a man kissing a red fish!

I see some smoke blowing and an alien giving her a kiss...oh I know, fever dreams!

You been drinking that Nyquil again, haven't you?

Better than a hot toddy! < That's a lie, hot toddies are the bomb, excellent for coughs and such.

Well I came here looking for a post but now I'm just going to be sick.

That guy up there looks like he's exhaling himself. The exhaled-self looks a little nervous about it. Maybe he isn't ready to leave the nest. Or the exhaled-self is the newly mutated virus, taking a bit of what he learned about survival with him to the next host.

I really do enjoy practicing the art of overthinking here. Let's do this again soon. Maybe tomorrow, if you aren't constiposted.

Originally, I had someone crawling up and out of something or maybe trying to break through a wall. You can still see him there but then I just went nutty and turned him into mush. So then I was thinking okay I've now wasted 2 hours of my life and all I have is a puddle of puke... so I painted in the other side profile there using the same colors, then made the originally dark background bright blue and called it the sky. All that is is chaos and I didn't feel like I was all there today so that chaos inspired this rambling mess of a post. How's that for overthinking?

okay I've now wasted 2 hours of my life and all I have is a puddle of puke...

I think that every time I have a stomach virus. You got artistic puke out of the deal, not bad at all.

Sorry to hear your not posting today. Im not feeling well either. My grammar has taken a turn for the worst

Don't worry. I'll have a post tomorrow. If you think grammer is hard, try spelin.

I would give my left nut to hear a cat on helium. But that's just me.

It wasn't me in the bar either. Oh no. That's bad

I think I heard it once dude. The cat I had years ago was killing one of those balloons. I didn't pay much attention to it. Then I heard a high pitched meow. I didn't want to go out and buy another balloon just to squeeze it into the cat's face just to find out the truth. That high pitched meow is still an unforgettable mystery of sorts.

And no, just because it was dollar beer hour from 9 to 10, that doesn't mean I was there.

Oh man that works be quite the racket I imagine or at least quite quite the squeaking!!!

All hail the unforgettable mysteries!

If this was not the real reason then it must be...


You Canadians all out celebrating in another way!

That? No. Me? No. I wasn't doing that. Wait, why am I still acting like it's illegal?

This is not a comment, as I don't have time to post or comment. More of a train of thought... If you had to get hit by a bus, it's less embarrassing to be sick and tired, than to have been looking at your cell phone... A friend of mine was hit by a bus last year. It was never clear how such a thing came to pass... I once nearly stepped out into traffic because a workmate was talking to me as we walked, which just goes to show how dangerous talking is, or workmates are... I've stopped thinking now. As you were. Glad @giantbear sent you that helium balloon to keep you company.

I got ran over by my own car once. I was paying attention, then I slipped. Shit happens I guess.

My balloon and I are having lots of fun.

I hope next time you'll have time to leave a comment.

I'm pleased to see you're looking after yourself by not replying to non-comments.

This is not a comment. Here is a helium balloon for you. I'm just sending this because you asked for it. P.s stay at home when you are sick. You might get hit by a bus.

When I get back, I'll say thanks for the balloon.

Damn I hope you get feeling better. What was that I just read must have been a figment of my imagination. LOL

Nope. Nothing to see here!

LoL I feel totally justified to start posting like this over and over. I'm sick. My brain refuses to work. I'm asleep. Leave a note.

It's been like maybe close to 3 weeks. That means I missed out on at least $2.10!

Maybe I'll do that today. Maybe I need a nap first.

PS Get well. You have no other desirable options. ;-)

Honestly, I do feel like crap today, didn't feel like doing much, but still got all of this done, at least. I couldn't really think of a better way to make a joke out of the artwork either... LOL!
