Appease my curiousity, please.

I woke up this morning feeling vaguely like I'd been hit by a bus. I wandered around, took a shower, wondered if I were ill and should call in to work, and then I realized that I wasn't ill, I was just mad. And I don't think one can call in mad to work, which is sort of a shame. Might cut down on office shooting sprees. I wasn't that mad, of course, but you get the idea.

Anyway, this reminded me of redbelle27's icon about calling in queer. And that made me wonder. I've never successfully called in for anything other than illness, car trouble, or flights delayed/stuck out of town. I've faked it, but even then, I faked one of those things. Have any of you lot ever successfully called in for anything unusual? Called in crazy? Called in dead? "Too mellow to be bothered to go to work today"?

Also, how come there's a mood icon for "crappy", but not one for "interested" or "intrigued"?

Oscar Wilde

triadruid sent me a link to this quite some time ago, but I've been saving it for a special occasion when I needed to be amused. And lo, it has amused me.

Things you didn't know about Oscar Wilde.

From the Site, A Biography:
"Oscar "The Pimp" "Biznatch" "Wildebeast" "Fatass" "Wonka Junior" Wilde(note: not to be confused with Ben "The Pimp" Kenobi of a later date) (-1017 A.C. - immortal), is the son of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Willy Wonka, was a member of Riverdance, a Welsh musician, Freemason, time traveler, noted wit, professional trampolinist, world snooker champion, knight, sodomite, martial artist, linux hacker, world bingo champion, Reiki grandmaster, former underwear model, inventor of wax, man-about-town, car mechanic, jack of all trades, goalkeeper for Angeren 6, Phallic advisor for the Power Rangers, soothing lyric tenor, bag-boy at Wal*Mart, Microsoft employee-of-the-month, inventor of the Furby, a member of the Thundercats, part time laundry basket, inventor of fast food, record-holder of the Record For Saying Bugger off, older brother of Optimus Wilde and one of the greatest men ever to live. More recently, he has been elevated to the status of demigod, which has been confirmed by God ("Yeah, 'Wildebeast' is a real party animal up here." -God) He was also the Founder, Secretary, and Chief Editor of the Uncyclopedia and Master of the Hallowed Book. He gave birth to Pithy Saying Man, and Cecil. How this is so remains unknown. Joe Walsh is rumoured to know his current location, although he refuses to answer any questions. Morrissey is currently believed to be his living incarnation, and does not care to deny it. Oscar Wilde had nothing to do with the Third Fluffy Hat War, despite what your eighth grade teacher told you. He also managed to strip off every single article of clothing he had been wearing, just for the sake of writing an article about doing so. Wilde has always been and will always be 100% heterosexual."
