Yeah...that sucks. Good luck with work. I hate going to work with *any* type of stomach thing...I usually call before my shift. Those are the things you *really* don't want passed around the workplace.

Look at the silver lining, Joe... You and the Zeiss will really bond! :)

Now, seriously... Sorry about your trouble, Joe. It's not fun to wake up sick.

Although... at times, work kinda makes me sick. :(

Sorry to hear that you are down on viral GE. Like what the good doctor always say, lots of water and rest. Have you seen a doctor yet? A few anti-spasmodics will do you good! Rest well! :)

Same thing just happened to my son. He had a late H.S. track meet in NYC Monday night, and he didn't want to go, so he convinced my wife that he be allowed to call in sick from school on Monday, that way, he'd be off the hook for the late track meet. He stayed home, and, you guessed it, he woke up sick on Tuesday! (I've had bronchitis for two weeks and it was something he caught from me, but the timing is ironic, just like you, Joe!)

There is only one remedy for your ills. Leave your place of confinement immediately.

No doubt you'll feel much better curled up on the couch at home with your new ZI toys. :)

Joe,
sorry to hear about your illness.
Hope you get better..

But I have noted something; since you got that camera it would appear that you are posting more often... somewhat in the Frank Granovski range I believe :D

Just sayin ;)

Chuckling,
Dave

Hope you feel better.

A nasty bug made its way around here last month.

i took the camera to work today and showed it around. all were suitable impressed and i have trained them enough not to say, 'is it digtal'? to me.

i'm home now and will soon be sitting in my comfy chair in the tv/music room (second bedroom) with my new toys.

maybe i'll walk the dog later and make her pose for me.

So what kind of film are going to use for your "first roll"?

i want to shoot hp5 mostly but i bought a couple of rolls of delta 100 also.
i'm thinking the slower stuff will help to better show what the lens can do.

Somehow, having a new camera -- and a great new camera -- takes the edge off of an illness. Just a little bit.
