Wow, thanks for all the great responses on my Southern Belles post, folks! Nice to know this blog can still attract the traffic when I can find the time, even in a somewhat fevered state, to write a more-or-less proper essay. And yeah, Amanda's mention of it didn't hurt! The fever seems to have broken and, in any case, I can't afford to take another day off work at 75% pay; and after all, I inconvenienced a coworker yesterday by asking her to do a 20-second task that wasn't her job and which I couldn't do from home - forwarding some email that my boss had received over the weekend to a business meeting he was attending yesterday - thereby ruining her entire week, which she informed me with her usual ingracious sarcasm in a strange emailed tirade (just another reason to hope all the executive secretary resumes I've been emailing out lead to at least a few interviews!). So despite having gotten almost no sleep and still experiencing sweat and chills, I'm off to the office in about half an hour. I sat at the computer long enough yesterday to ascertain that I should be able to do my job today (i.e., sit at my desk for 8 hours without collapsing), but it won't be easy. Fortunately, your comments have spurred me on to at least try to do more than one post per day, assuming I have the time, and my boss leaves the country on Thursday so things are looking up. Now, if only someone in NYC wanted a damn good executive secretary... but onward. Here's another game for y'all ("the walrus was Paul"...sorry, sorry), again via Augie - the N Game!
