Things shake loose

The minutes pass so slowly when you're sick.

I've been fighting this fever since it woke me at 1 am in all it's glory, and I've finally given up on the idea of sleeping.

I'm right back up in the 102-103F range again, and that's icky.  Plus lying down i can't stop shuddering, and that if nothing else will guarantee the minutes pass like days or weeks.

Lucky me though, I did get to sleep around 10, so I got nearly 6 hours, though not unbroken, I'll take what I can get.

Hey K, this is funny, for once I'm up ultra super insanely early, and you're no where to be found!  Hopefully you're getting some well-deserved rest.

Jerrett just hired Ben to work at BraveNet.  If you don't know WTF i'm talking about, don't worry about it.  I think it's going to be an… interesting time.

More later, when I can type more than 3 works without sneezing!

I can't sleep.  I'm too hot.

I'm very not good.  I hate being sick!  I'd much rather be working, I've got lots I should be doing, but I can't concentrate.  I've got my balcony window open, and there's a cool breeze blowing in, but it's not really helping.

I think monday's going to be quite interesting.  I've got to take a little time off work to get my tax stuff from Josh, plus 2 meetings, plus hopefully two flunkies, a battle with the accounting department, 1 conference call, 1 battle with HR, plus a few computer fixes.

I have to be at 100% monday, or I'll get steamrollered in a big way.  That won't do.  Plus I've got to start looking into that raise I've been thinking I'm earning.  If it's tied to a performance review by HR, I'm pretty fucked.  Hopefully I'll get C.S. or C.C. to do it, which should ensure it happens with a minimum of fuss and bother.

I'm going to jump on a few more projects too I think, because I'M STUPID. 

I can't help it though, I'm fearful of running out of things to do.  That's an aweful place to be. 

Anyway, I can't breathe, and this is getting more difficult.

I'm going to sit outside in the rain I think, and try and cool down!

Bye!

Ow.

102F and rising.

That's not cool.

Oh my good god. I'm so sick.

A fever's been brewing for a few days now, and it finally hit with full force today at work. The whole package, shakes, fever, and coughing and sneezing fits. I JUST managed to drive home around 1, when it finally got to be too much for me, and I nearly t-boned some poor motorist.

It's my own fault though, I've been putting in a lot of extra time recently, not giving myself time to recover, and it's finally caught up with me.

It's been a busy week. My workshop's built, my programming work is nearly done, and I'm getting two junior techs (i picked them!)

Mind you, I bypassed the entire HR hiring chain, so I'm well on my way to making enemies. But I figure, who knows my job better than me? I don't need someone who understands management politics, I need someone who understands COMPUTERS.

I feel like I've been beaten evenly over every part of my body. It's extremely painful. It's making it hard to concentrate.

I'm going to go lie down.
