Being sick sucks. Especially when you've been trying to fight it off for a week without actually doing anything different (like resting). It also sucks when the guy doing work around your house did a crappy job trimming the tree, then tells you that it should really be cut down because it has termites. And the other tree is growing into your gas line, so that should come out too. All of this when you're sick, don't want to deal with anyone, and just want so peace and quiet. Except that you can't GET peace and quiet because he's cutting up trees. And he called you 8000 times yesterday, but you didn't answer (and he didn't leave a message) because you were too pissed about how stupid the tree trimming looked. And you took a day off because you thought that since you have no meetings, this would be a good day to do it. But it's also the day that you have to get a document out, and you have people on both coasts that you're working with to try to get that done, and when you finally get people working on it, IM shuts down and won't let you back in (presumably because your DSL connection sucks for IM, but is fine for blogging, email, etc. Oh but wait - the other IM you use works fine... but no one is on that one.)
