Rant time!
So, the last few days, I've been ill with some monster cold from hell (something SWMBO refers to as Man Flu ). To make matters worse, yesterday I wake up with a swollen eyelid! I'm not sure if the damn thing is putting pressure on my eye or leaking eye gunk that's hard to see through or what, but focusing on things seems to be taking a while longer thn it should. And, just because that wasn't enough, this morning I have the same swollen eye but a bit bigger, the same cold but it seems to be trying to turn into a chest infection, and I can't move my neck for feeling like someone's beating it with a chrome-plated steel pipe. Why so specific? Because a lead pipe would be a dull pain - this one's very sharp!
So, here I sit, hacking and coughing away (I tried lying in bed - the only place where my neck is even kinda comfy - but I can't breathe lying in bed), squinting at the monitor through a pool of eye gunk, trying to figure out how I am going to convince my manager that I'm not partying it up (despite of this being the only sick day I've taken from this job in the last 1 1/2 years, and in spite of the overtime I do without complaint...) or sleeping off a hangover (and I don't drink, either).
Rant over! I need a holiday!
