				| i'm wearing a mask today, but it's because i went to the hospital 2 days ago for a stomach virus and my boss wouldn't give me time off, so i'm hopingthe mask will encourage him.  maybe if i take it off halfway through the day he'll tell me to go home for fear of infecting everyone? |  |

 Just get a can of soup and pretend to "vomit" it in the hallway. Then, walk away down the hall.  It  might be worth it to get a can of Campbell's Minestrone Soup; I think it naturally smells like vomit! Plus, you have the chunks, which are visually appalling.

 You are sick, refreshingly so.

				| Masks are pretty commonly used here in Asia anyway from anything to preventing smog inhalation to preventing the spread of disease. 
 I wore a mask to my first hagwon in Korea for a few days because I had accidentally tripped while on a school hiking trip and scraped my face pretty bad.

 Seriously...I owe many cans of that soup to aid me in my school-skipping adventures.
