Sniffles

Actual email. Apparently he likes providing gross and unnecessary details:

I thought I could get over a simple cold, but can't seem to stop the nose blowing issue.

I do not wish to pass on the cold to co-workers and managers.

Market research is something that I enjoy, and would want to continue on that work.

Thank you for assigning me the work, as I am finding the work more interesting.

If the nose blowing doesn't stop in the morning, I will stay at home and call you for next assingment.

Not sure if I'm more bothered by the level of detail, or the fact that he is staying home because he has the sniffles.
