So I was reading a few of the blogs from my blog list, and I found this fun meme. (can anyone tell me what meme means? first one to answer in comments receives a free handmade by me bookmark) It was first stolen from
Eva, but I read it on
A Guy's Moleskine Notebook. The bold text are things that I have done.

Taken a sick day when you’re not ill [Never during middle school or elementary, but definitely in high school and college. I also told my boss my mom was in the hospital to get out of working after my break on a bad day at the daycare, don't worry she was a real b-word]
