who tells me that they've just gotten an email that idiot coworker is off w/ the flu; can I plan on covering that? yup.
Then she tells me that they may need to borrow my student worker because the other secretary is off w/ the flu.
And that part of the 'covering' job I have to do is cancelled because that instructor is off w/ the flu.
I've been in meetings w/ all 3 of these people in the past week.
*waiting for the bug to bite*
