(semi-)sick log: day 4
Posted in Casa de Geek, General on 04/20/2005 10:57 am by katI have downgraded myself to semi-sick today. Why you might ask? Because I knew yesterday that I was human again when the fact that my legs had not been shaved for 3 days was bugging the #$&! out of me. The only reason I’m still home today is because I slept horribly last night and decided that rest was better than killing myself over a day’s worth of work. Work will come home with me this weekend and will get done. No need to kill myself over it.
Ways to know you’ve been sick at home for too long:
1. Your cat has added you as a nap spot in her daily routine.
2. You begin to wonder what the daily specials in your office’s cafeteria are.
3. You’ve actually caught up on that pile of magazines that you’ve been meaning to read through for months now.
4. A ride around the corner (quite literally) to the grocery store has you all excited and wondering what you should wear for the special occasion (pajama pants were deemed too casual).
Upon e-mailing my boss this morning (I have almost no voice, so voicemail was out of the question) to inform him that I would once more not be in to work, I actually wrote that I would rather be stuck in the office for several days straight at this point than be stuck in this house for another day. Come hell or high water, I’m going in to work tomorrow.

Well, it’s good that you’re better … and yes, having that grocery store so close does leave you with those kinds of thoughts.

Yeah, the cabin-fever is typically a good sign. I don’t think I ever reached that point. I realized that I was semi-human again yesterday afternoon when I started actually caring what was playing on TV. Before that, I could have watched 48 hours of the Weather Channel and not cared. At work today, I couldn’t remember what 90% of the paperwork on my desk was referring to and if I spun too fast in my office chair the ground would do weird gyrations for minutes afterward.

Oh man, go into work and infect everyone. You have become spreader of germs.
