🚫 Out of Office: Anaphylaxis Edition 🚫

Had to take the day off from my state job today because my immune system decided to throw a surprise party and forgot to invite oxygen. 🎈😑

I’m currently running on enough Benadryl to tranquilize a moose, so all major decisions are postponed until further notice. If it requires brain cells, it’s a “no” from me today. 👍

Meanwhile, Nurse Woodrow is ON DUTY… by which I mean he is currently sleeping on the job and snoring like a tiny chainsaw. 🐾💤

He checks on me occasionally just to make sure I haven’t moved without authorization, then resumes his very demanding nap schedule.

10/10 employee of the month.
0/10 recommend anaphylaxis.
