Silly Site o' the Day

So apparently it's not enough that I suffer through this flu for a week, then a lingering cough for another week. The weekend brought on something that closely resembled food poisoning, to the point where I actually threw up yesterday for the first time in at least a decade. (I will go to extraordinary lengths not to throw up, so this was officially a Big Deal.) I haven't had anything substantial to eat for a couple days, although I managed to down a yogurt this morning, but this latest round in the Mighty Morphin Lurgy has left me too weak to do much of anything helpful like vacuuming or (gak) food shopping. Added to that, the wind storm last night knocked out the internet and phone portion of our Cablevision service. They're sending someone 'round by 8 PM, but in the meantime that's another day lost when I could be getting phone calls and looking for jobs online. As it is, I'm "borrowing" a neighbor's wifi to blog so I can at least let folks know we're okay (well, within reason) and ask potential employers who may be Googling my name to please contact me on my cell phone. Speaking of tech things gone wrong, Fake Steve Jobs brings us a fake Vista ad from Blimp TV.
