Anyway I start work tomorrow at 10am. He called and asked how today was for but I said I'm just getting over my cold how's tomorrow. He said I understand because his wife is sick too so how's tomorrow at 10am and I said great thanks I'll be there. My aunt thinks I should have just gone in today, I hope he doesn't regret hiring you. I just don't want to go in first day coughing in his face lol. But I'm rarely sick and almost never call in sick even if I am sick.

Thanks @cabmonk - I look at it, but I don't know if I'll try it.
If I do say so myself, I make a pretty kick-a$$ real apple pie.

Oh good for you and your real apples haha.

[Lynn49]

I don't think so.

Can you imagine, Hicks?! Thinking in those kinds of terms or visuals has kept me out of quite a few dietary disasters! Not that I didn't have whatever anyway once in a while, lol, but at least I knew the trouble I was getting into. BIG trouble!

22Hicks....I think he's having a good giggle on our behalf with that recipe he threatened to make for himself.....but...we don't forget, do we?...

[cabmonk]

I wonder who was the first person to realize you could make a pie with Ritz crackers lol.

[cabmonk]

Anyway do you think I was wrong to ask if tomorrow was OK to start work. I just wanted to start off on the right foot and not coughing in his face.

Tough call, Cab, but you've met him so you probably have a better 'feel' for the guy than we do. Toss of the coin, really....but tomorrow, just apologize for turning down the job today, and simply say you were conflicted whether he'd hold that against you, or would he rather you'd have come in.
Honestly is really the best policy here...it would show you were concerned about your decision, thought it out both ways and hoped you had made the right one. ")

[cabmonk]

Thanks, he didn't say hey you start today. He asked how's today for you. I will definitely talk to him tomorrow about it though. I'm drained and coughing and wouldn't be able to give him my full attention. Tomorrow if I rest up today I should at least be a bit better and more prepared.

[cabmonk]

So here's the mock Apple pie lol.

Hello folks!

Cabs,I hope you feel a heck of a lot better tomorrow! I have missed just what your new job is about. Certainly if you are working in close quarters with someone or if your task involves physical exertion you want to be at your best. Well, good luck!

Well here I am with soft music playing (instrumental only) and a pile of papers spread out before me ----It must be TAX TIME---- Yippee- cha- yay!!!!

So what am I doing? Chatting with you, of course!

Got to get back to it and take advantage of a "nothing-much-to-do" time.

Down day for DH. He's sleeping. They say that we won't find anything out from the lab until at least tomorrow.

[cabmonk]

It's a paint store and someone will be with me for 3 weeks of training. Also hate dealing with customers coughing in their face lol. Well not literally in their face.

We never forget, and what goes around, comes around, or so they say.

[22hicks]

I think you'll be ok @cabmonk - as you said, plenty of rest, and talk to him tomorrow. Besides, it's better than working a day or two, then taking a few sick days.
All should be fine. Now, off to bed.

[cabmonk]

I'm actually gonna take a nap. By the way I don't have anything against apples lol.
