Like an idiot, I started a very poorly worded sentence in a Get Well card I’m sending to one of the secretaries here.
I didn’t mean to write this but since I have, in ink, I need to go with it.
Don’t even ask where I thought I was going with this!
So I implore you, good Dopers, to help me finish this terrible sentence, please.
" . . . because we were thinking of you! We miss you lots! Hope you’re feeling better soon!"
Er, okay, it’s not Shakespeare, but, really, it’s the thought that counts. I’m sure it’ll be recieved in the spirit it was intended.
“… because we were too cheap to send flowers.”
I’d go with Podkayne’s suggestion, but I guess that just shows what a sadly conventional twickster I am at heart.

“. . . hoping that it would pick up your spirits. Get well soon!”
TaxGuy , I do believe you have nailed it. Bravo!
We picked up this card
When we heard you were sick
To help cheer you up…
Please come back quick!
Ugh…is that sweet enough for you?
“…after it fell behind the iron maiden in the foyer. Enjoy your biscuits!”
“…because it was in the ‘Get Well’ section and we do, in fact, want you to get well. Preferrably before we have to re-assign any of your tasks. So, it’s really more of a ‘Get Well Soon ’ card. Anyhoo, hope you feel better.”
The winner is TaxGuy. Honorable mentions go to Beelzebubba and Podkayne. Everyone else had great suggetions, too.
[sub]Truth be told, the only reason Beelzebubba’s suggestion didn’t get picked is because I wrote in TaxGuy’s first. Oh well…[/sub]
Always a day late and a dollar short. Damn
Well, the good news is, Beelze (can I call you Beelze?), the card I bought, while very nice, is too small. It’s been filled with well-wishes already! I have to buy another one today.
So, it looks like I get to use your sentiment after all.
… and they made us buy it, because, like, SARS, you know? Can’t be too careful. Oh, and get better soon.

Oh no, not another “Size Matters” thread…
We picked up this card for you. Just so you know, it has been decontaminated from SARS, AIDS, PMS and Hallitosis.

*We picked up this card off the floor with our buttcheeks.
Here, you try it.*
You may indeed.

Sweet! I feel all validated and stuff (really!)
