back from the doc

i do my best not focus on negatives and really do try not to whine (though the baby inside does want to sometimes), but i actually did feel like death warmed over monday night and most of the day tuesday (headache, runny nose, ear ache, scratchy throat, stomach cramps, diarrhea, body aches, and profound fatigue)... for a moment, watching the news, i was concerned about swine flu and knowing this body, kidney stones and who knows what cuz i had all the symptoms of both (except for fever, which was why i was not really much concerned)...

feeling much better today, but the body aches like it was hit by a bus and is physically exhausted cuz sleep was broken and restless even though i stayed in bed most of yesterday... i intended to rest up today, but no, an angry phone call at 8:45am woke me demanding i prove i am not a liar by going out and sitting in a doctor's office where i am more apt to catch something than resting at home... wow, it's kind of amazing... i feel sorry for a man that selfish, paranoid, and insensitive... not to mention unfair and probabnly legally unethical in a ceo position...

the clinical director was out more than a week in the past two months and every other manager has been out at least a few days, some more... the ceo himself went home at 10am sick and took a couple of days (though it's probably not on record as he's the boss)... and me, i've not taken a day off since early january and haven't called in in longer than that...

anyway, the doctor gave me a note covering three days and offered more which means, if they are really going to play by the rules, they should send me home tomorrow because tomorrow would be the third day, but i intended to go in and i shall... i've got way too much work on my desk and there is nobody else to do it... even though the child in me tells me to take the rest of the week and go see another doctor cuz it would be a snap to be tagged for lab work to rule out the swine flu that everybody in the news seems so panicky about these days... if only i didn't take my work so seriously, aye?...

so how is your day?

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
