eerie_reverie Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 The usual platter of spicy wings I down with beer Tuesday nights did not sit well with me today. I have been doubled over in pain for the last 8 hours. I think I've finally finished throwing everything up, but I doubt I'll be able to get to work on time (7 AM) tomorrow morning. As most of you know, I'm in love with my boss... which leads me to wonder, what's a good email to send in these situations regarding my illness to make him go, poor spooks! As opposed to, :sick:. How do you respond to hearing details about a possible romantic interests' illness? Should I tell him I managed to food-poison myself and am doubled over in pain? Or be non-specific?
welikeincrowds Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Brevity. Keep it to one cute detail. You want him to use his imagination, but you want it to be a picture of him taking care of you, and not of you filling up a toilet bowl.
jerbear Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I say go to work and then leave early because of food poisoning. I would leave specifics out of things.

USMCHokie Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 What's a cute detail about food poisoning? "Awww...my tummy hurts...?"
Author eerie_reverie Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 I say go to work and then leave early because of food poisoning. I would leave specifics out of things. I can't be at work in 5 hours. I just can't do it. I would rather come in after I've slept a bit and actually be productive.
Author eerie_reverie Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 "Awww...my tummy hurts...?" That's pretty cute... but I can't see myself saying that. I'm guessing I'm just not really the cute type.
Citizen Erased Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 You can email that you're sick? My boss would get pissed if I just left it at a voicemail! Just say you have food poisoning and you need the day to recover. No more details than that are needed.
welikeincrowds Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 What's a cute detail about food poisoning? God. Good question. "It was really bad! All I wanted to do was curl up under the covers. I'm never eating another chicken wing." I dunno man, don't look at me. I remember your OKCupid profile. You're a much more charming writer than I am!

Author eerie_reverie Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 I'm not feeling well tonight. I think I've managed to food-poison myself. At this point I am planning to feel better tomorrow, but I will probably be pretty late. And by "pretty" I mean around 10... I need some sleep to recover. Hopefully I will pass out right now....................
Author eerie_reverie Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 Playful. Honest. Devoid of swear words. I think it's a winner.
jerbear Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Just say your sick with food poisoning, will be in around 10
Author eerie_reverie Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 Just say your sick with food poisoning, will be in around 10 Too late. I hope he doens't think I'm drunk.
welikeincrowds Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I misread it as "I think I've been food-poisoned." and laughed. Yours is good too, but I like my mistake better.
Author eerie_reverie Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 The sad thing is, I came home early tonight to go to sleep to come in early tomorrow. Nothing pisses me off more than when my rare good intention goes unfulfilled.
Author eerie_reverie Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 I misread it as "I think I've been food-poisoned." and laughed. Yours is good too, but I like my mistake better. That would have been clever.
Lemontang Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I'd have just said you can't come in because you had an 8hr date with the porcelain and you got along so well you decided to spend the day with it. I'm sure the boss would appreciate that. lol
