thanks! yeah, it does suck, especially this time of the year. instead of this being official "sick" time off work, me and the boss discussed it and are calling it "vacation" time. i may try a bit of detecting tomorrow if i'm up to it and if all goes well, i'm hoping to be back to work Monday, just depends on how i'm feeling by then.
but sorry, i don't want to hijack your thread. but thanks again.
