My manager looked at me today and politely suggested that I work remotely for the remainder of the day so I can be miserable at home instead of at work and I was more than happy to take him up on it.
So far, as I know he doesn't have very high expectations for me when I'm all sore and sickly (massive dental work + sinus infection = I'm so much fun to be around right now), I've instead used my time to teach myself how to knit continental style. People had professed disappointment that I didn't know how, so, I was curious if it was superior. Well, it certainly isn't so far, but I'll keep practicing. I'm much more comfortable with the English style as that's what I learned as a wee one, but I'm open to new knowledge. :)
Now, to attempt to purl...

Once I got used to continental I prefer it for knit/purl patterns, but I still use english style for lace and knitting in the dark. Just remember, it's the needle moving not the yarn so much. Good luck!
Yeah, it reminds me of how I crochet. It is just a bit more difficult, since there isn't a handy hook to grab the yarn. It's not hard, it's just different.
And my tension sucks currently. *grumble*
