Good timing

Why must the world head towards economic meltdown just when I'm starting my career? With that in mind I should probably cling to my current job til my finger nails tear off. Should therefore not have taken the last two days off work 'sick'. My boss might be on the receiving end of a big gift on monday. Or maybe I'll just skip the gift, write GUILTY on my forehead in blood, cover myself in ashes and throw myself naked and weeping at her feet. She'd probably prefer flowers.
