Malingerer

Today’s word of the day is “malingerer.” This is someone who “exaggerates or feigns illness in order to escape duty or work.” Today’s sunny weather of 76°F makes it an almost ideal time to be a malingerer. Good luck to you!

Is there a picture of me on there? I asked them to take that off.. :)

I was very tempted to participate in inemuri today!

You should’ve! Inemuri is a pastime I fully, completely endorse. It’s like, well it is, a hobby you can’t fail at — the worst that happens is you wake up.

Or get caught.

But the risky thrill is worth it, too. Dznger! Ooooo.

Dznger?

We have one of those people at work… a malingerer.

Update: a few people in my dental class were practicing inemuri today. Interesting.

Vanessa

In a few years can you remind me who that was and make sure I don’t choose this cool new dentist that might pop up in my area? Thanks!

A quick aside before I go for a little siesta, Target’s blue coat filter has identified <tumbledry.org> to be a site containing “arts/entertainment” and requires me to enter my password to access. Seems like an electronic compliment of sorts.

I will indeed remind anyone who needs to know who the inemuri-ers of the class are.

And hey! Arts and entertainment! I’ll take that. Can you still access this space from work?
