8: Dearest Dr. Cuddy...

Consider yourself currently out of my good graces. I went to work this morning only to be rebuffed. Apparently I'm too contagious to be around my co-workers. A disappointing waste of time and gasoline ~~and energy~~.

At least I was able to bring more work home.

Yeah, but if you're sick, you're probably not able to concentrate as much on what you're doing, and if you're sicker longer because you tried to work while you were sick...

I can concentrate perfectly well. It's the flu, not ADD.

Why does no one believe that I'll be over this soon? I'm not exerting myself. It's only paperwork. There just happens to be a ~~hellishly~~ large amount of it that I need to take care of.

Fine, fine! Sheesh! I'm just sayin'. Usually it's better to chill.

...Tempting as that may be, no, I have far too much work to catch up on. As I keep trying to tell everyone.

((OOC: He's a really bad patient. Sorry Mikaela. XD))

Hey, man, it's your immune system. Do what you want, just be ready for people to bug you about it.

And don't come complaining to us when it takes you twice as long to get over it.

People don't normally bug me over such things.

I will not, you can be sure of that.

And the four people here bugging you right now are all a fluke?

Good!

Apparently you all have nothing better to do. ...I don't understand why you people are showing such concern.

I dunno about them, but I'm pretty much sitting around waiting for doom. Not much to do but troll the Internet.

Maybe because we like you?

Maintaining an optimistic outlook, I see.

Why in God's name would you do that?

I didn't necessarily say it would be my doom!

I'm starting to wonder that myself...

So you are maintaining optimism? Hm.

Too many people seem to share your opinion. I must be slipping. It seems I need to try harder to be unlikeable.

Well, it's that or crawl under my bed and babble in terror, and that doesn't seem very fun at all.

Psht. What's the point of that, huh?

Well, I will say I approve of your choice, given the two options.

Avoiding incessant nagging about a simple bout of flu.

Thanks. It's the one that makes sense to me.

...People still die from the flu, you know.

...Mostly children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems. I fit none of those descriptions, and I don't plan on dying anytime soon.
