Time goes by so slowly for those who wait

[venta]

For the best part of a fortnight I've been intermittently coughing and hacking and spluttering and generally sounding like dying sealion. But without the ability to balance a ball on my nose (I tried).

In among the many apologies to my colleagues for the godawful noises, I mentioned the likelihood of gold watches.

Everyone looked at me funny. Again.

It never was a gold watch, by the way.

I don't think so, but the line feels somewhat familiar.
