That doesn't sound good at all. This is a talk you're giving?

Yeah, my Perl Web Testing talk.

I hope you feel better soon. There's not much worse than presenting with a sore throat, especially if it's a long presentation or course.

Not to mention the 3 hour drive each direction.

Okay, driving three hours, giving a presentation with a sore throat, and then driving back again is clearly much worse.

Sleep well, and get well soon!

@merlyn: I hope I didn't get what you caught! I just have had itchy throat since yesterday. Hope to nip it in the bud.

Hope you feel better real soon now.

I've decided not to risk the presentation stress today. I'll stay close to home on this 20th birthday of Perl.

a toast to Perl and a toast to all the Perl camels for carrying it forward. I can't even count how much time I've saved with a Perl script, here and there.
