My voice went to Bangladesh with the dog.

So. It's 9:30 on a Friday morning, and I am @ home. I should be @ work right now, but unfortunately, I cannot be, as my voice decided to take a vacation to Bangladesh, and didn't want the rest of me tagging along. I can barely manage a whisper @ this point. It's kind of hard to show up to work like this when your job requires you to talk to people all day long. I'd be there if I knew that they'd let me work offline, do reports, commitments, whatever. But I've been there for four years and I've ever only been invited to help with 1 report, and that's because our systems were down and we were not able to take phone calls. Meanwhile, other teams in the call center have people offline all the time for various reports. Others get to go offline whenever the queues die down. I've asked if there are reports I can do, but I always get the same answer: "Your job is to take phone calls. That's what the company pays you for." Lovely.
So, I'll go to work later today and collect my paycheck and try not to spend it all in one place. Pay some bills. Clean the house. Mikey's off today too, so cleaning the house may not happen... I never seem to be able to do that when he's home. We'll see what happens.
