babelfish.com doesn't have that option yet

This is how I read when I'm trying to communicate with someone, while in that lovely post-seizure state. Yes, this is an e-mail that I'd sent to Kellie, after I had a seizure at work:

Post-Ictal:
Hi just when I though that things couldn’t go any worse better – I had ended up having a seizure at work. Which would explain why I’m having spelling … I’m doing okay – except for the headache, and having bitten my headache. :(

And no, I don’t think that the medication has failed – unfortunately, there’s not much that can be done about my seizures.

English Translation:
Hi - just when I thought that things couldn't get any worse, I ended up having a seizure at work! Which would explain why I'm having spelling troubles ... I'm doing okay - except for the headache, and having bitten my tongue. :(

And no, I don't think that the medication has failed - unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about my periods.

Thankfully, we're having a sense of humor over everything, especially the "having bitten my headache" line (my personal favorite). Also, Kellie noted that there were no spelling errors - just lots of grammar issues, obviously.

And aside from the bitten headache (or headache and bitten tongue, rather) I'm doing okay. I came home and took a nap - perhaps I will write more about the incident when I'm feeling more up to it.

ok just two things
1) ROFLMAO I've IM'd people very similar things and they just think I'm drunk or something... but it makes PERFECT sense to me
2) ROFLMAO AGAIN! *hugs* lol You poor thing... silly babel fish not translating...

I'm glad that I'm not the only one sending those weirded-out e-mails/IMs to people!

I'm almost worried to see my e-mail notifying people that I was leaving work early because of my seizure (I was getting lucid ... but still!) - I don't think I mentioned anything about biting my headache, though. ;)

I'm not allowed to do an out of office after incidents like that... I tend to become a bit TOO honest.. I'd likely say something like:
I am currently out of this fucking office. Please e-mail she won't get back to you because she's a fucking lazy dumb ass. Thanks and have a great day!

Thankfully my "out of office" e-mail was much more lucid.

Although my voicemail was a bit Yoda-like ... hehe.
