Why does it take Peta's pewter over 86 hours to finish one work unit? Does that not point to a fact that her pewter is really slow and that H2G2 is the one that has supplied her with it?

Come to think of it, maybe it's because you H2G2-guys have special pewters that makes a more thourough (? spelling) job than ours...

Nah! The one unit that is shown as Peta's contribution, is a unit she did on the pewter she used at her former job. Her employer BEFORE H2G2 was therefor cheap!

Ummm...Errr.....Yes? I mean; yes, by Jove! Of course it will! Only the sky is the limit. Or rather, it isn't, since this is the H2G2, based on science fiction novels.

OOPS, that's less than fortunate, unless it's keeping you home and you like that But even then, it would be nicer to be home AND healthy...

It will keep me home in a few hours. I have to finish some work here, and then I'm going to hit the sack. That is, if I DO manage to finish it up. This fever kinda blurs everything for me...

In that case, maybe you're better off if you just go home and hit the sack... If things start to blur, you won't get much done anyway, and if you do, it's more likely that you'll be making mistakes somewhere.
Fever can do bad things to your concentration, your eye-sight, your nerves, your emotional stability... And all to no fault of your own.
Nobody's gonna be better off if you stay around in such a condition.
I wish you get well soon.
