I don't get sick, and if on the odd occasion I do feel under the weather, I go to work anyway.
I'm not here to be a slacker. |
Keep on wishing to be Li Po. |
I am. Although lately I'd rather be Shunsuke Nakamura. |

Though I suppose it depends on what he means by 'under the weather'  !
Having a cold and not coming to work might be seen as being a slacker, but I see people coming with the flu (and then wondering why the workplace is empty the following week).

Are you telling me you'd rather be yourself than the Free Kick Artist? MVP of Scottish football and Asia's most talented player?  |

Yes, I would rather still be myself. Though sometimes I did wish I was really Bill Gates' brother . But I will have to live with being misidentified at celebrity parties, instead.
Seriously though, hero worshipping has its limits. There are always people we look up to or would like to emulate, but wishing to be them sounds a little too much like obsessive idolizing to me. |
