How Ya Feelin'?

I realize that a sick call really screws up a newsroom. I realize it throws some people into a tizzy trying to line up freelancers to replace. I also realize that I'm entitled to 10 sick days a year - and if I'm sick, don't make me feel guilty about taking one. After all, I'm abused enough by a sporadic schedule.
The only thing worse than the reaction to the sick call is when I come back to the newsroom and I'm met with a chorus of "How ya feelin?" and "Why were you sick?" If they really want to know, I can pull out a 5th grade "what happens to girls' bodies once-a-month" diagram. Really, don't ask... unless you really want to know.
