Say that again slower, because I've had an answer ready all week and it's the wrong one. I don't know — I signed it thinking I'd be the one at home, and you're asking me to picture the other version.
Penny

Picture it: me at home at four in the afternoon, you at the desk pretending all week that's fine. Which version actually scares you more, because I'll take either.

Me at the desk, definitely — but not for the reason you think: $1,150 of it's mine on Monday and I can't invoice a baby. So you take the leave, and I'll tell Mum tonight that I'm the one who's scared.
