Handicapped Again
May 14th, 2003
So last year I went deaf and this year I'm a mute.
It all started Monday night, when my throat started to feel like I was getting sick. I woke up on Tuesday, and my voice was fading, but nothing compares to today. Today, it sounds like I'm into some serious pain, but really I don't feel that bad. It's just when I to talk, it sounds like I'm hitting puberty.
I did get to take the day off because everybody thought I was going to spread SARS around the office, it gave me lots of time to play with my new iPod (I'll give you the review another time).
So if you try to call, I probably won't answer cause I'm trying to save my voice, but there's always email, instant messaging, and blogs to communicate.
For your amusement here's a little clip of what I sound like.

Is that really you talking?
If so, think you can get a night job doing one of the voices for Sesame Street or the Saturday morning cartoons!
Alternative: chicken soup (that's what moms are supposed to say.
Really am sorry you're sick.
Everyone in Texas is walking around with squinty eyes, barely open due to sinus headaches caused by the smoked-filled skies. Seems all the farmers in Central America and Mexico burn their fields in the Spring and for some reason, the atmosphere was just right to bring that residue of smoke our way---and all the way up to Dallas.
you sound hilarious! i've played it ten times, and it gets funnier each time! which ipod did you get, and are you enjoying it? how do you update the music list -- is there a sync feature between it and your itunes?
by the way, mom's right about the smoke. it's terrible here, too. other than yesterday, we haven't seen the sun down here in a couple of weeks.
I just accomplished this terrific shopping coup. i bought a softsided briefcase from jandd a few years ago, and i've only really started using since i began my job at the OAG. however, i hate how there is a flap over the zipper to the main compartment that you have to unflap to get in there. it's just kind of annoying, and i don't use the bag very much because of that. meaning i don't really have a useful briefcase.
well, i called jandd a couple of weeks ago and told them that the bag just really wasn't meeting my needs anymore, that it was still in like-new condition (which wasn't a lie), and could i return it for some credit to get a different bag they sell which should work out much better. anywho, they agreed and gave me half off the new bag i want to buy.
you can check them out on the jandd.com site. go to http://www.jandd.com/books.asp and then click on "shoulder bags & briefcases." the bag i returned was the "esek," and the bag i'm getting in exchange is the "talmid." what do you think? all i have to pay for is half of the talmid and shipping.
Nice comment Mook, Just about as random as the blog.
wow -- you're right. perhaps mook should be the next with a blog of his own.
in the meantime, i enjoyed your voice clip, too. i know it hurts, but that doesn't stop it from being funny. but i guess that's why you posted it. you know good humor when you see (hear) it. that's why you're going to have the most popular blog in the world anyday now. anyday.
there's no way that tara's "accidental" multiple postings should be allowed to count toward the next gold star. both of my comments yesterday were germane and interesting. they should get extra credit, even.
