“uhh yes, hi.. this is phil.  i was just calling to see if maybe if you guys didn’t mind, i could work another week from home.  uhh yeah, i’m just really sick and still contagious.  i’d really hate to get you guys sick and, honestly, i can do my job just fine from here at home.  no worries, really.”

if i had a little pod like this, i’d never want to work in an office again.
