It took me an hour and thirty minutes to get home last night. Traffic was a mess. In fifteen minutes I went two tenths of a mile. I think a turtle walks faster! I also left 10 minutes early, so much for that.
By the end of the day I was feeling bad. I wished I had called the doctor. Once I got home I doped up on steroids and my regular medicine. Had supper and got interrupted with a work phone call. The lady said her my documents were gone. I remoted into the machine, clicked on my documents and viola there they were. She said she did the same thing. Go figure! I’ve got no explanation as to why that happened.
Last night I got a little sleep. I woke up a couple times to go to the bathroom, as I knew I would. That is part of the deal of taking steroids, it flushes all of the water out of your system. So you have to stay hydrated. I drink water like crazy any way. I also woke up with a charlie horse in each leg. Damn! My neck is sore and achey. I’m hot – figure I have a fever but too lazy to check.
Got to work and phoned the doc right away. Time for some antibiotics. The receptionist isn’t sure if he will call it in but said she would take the message and see that he got it. I hope they let me know soon enough so that I can either make an appointment with him or the allergist. Otherwise, I will have to do the doc in the box and that is super expensive. The cheapest option is for him to phone the medicine in, so I’m crossing my fingers that happens.
Right now I am working on a laptop getting updates installed on it and putting on a couple applications. Then it will be time to get some theft tracking software and presto it’s done.
One of the sites just e-mailed me and it sounds like I will be making a field trip. Perhaps today but I am going to try to hold off until next week if I can.
I had 3 Blackberry calls yesterday. Two are resolved but one isn’t. AT&T is saying that a device we purchased from them is registered to another provider. Really then why does it say AT&T on the device and have their branding logo on it? I hate phone companies, will be so glad when this issue is resolved. However, it looks like it will take some time, teeth pulling and lots of patience. Lord help me!
I did a follow up with the other two people I helped yesterday. One of them asked me for my bosses name because they wanted to pass along a compliment about how helpful I was. Ah, just the feather I was looking to put in my cap. I provided her with the name and she sent me a copy of what she sent to my boss. He just responded and said glad we were able to be helpful to you. Huh? No good job or Thanks - - - nope nada. Well maybe it will help make a case to continue my employment or so I hope. I’ve got an e-mail prepared about travel and was going to send it. Glad I didn’t since I don’t feel well. Next week I will send it and probably shortly after that it will be plane time again. Damn! I just learned about all of the germs on an airplane. Tray tables and arm rests are usually crawling with bacteria. You want to aim the air for the middle of your body, that should help keep the germs at bay. As long as I don’t get sicker or if I’ve recovered by then sick again, then I am fine with it. I don’t like the germs or the bacteria.
On the way to work I passed by the AT&T store where I got my iPhone and they had people lined up ready to get their iPhone 5’s. We need to go back this weekend but with the crowds I don’t know that we will survive. My partner wants to look into getting a different phone. Oh kay, I told him already that there would probably be lines but he said we can check. I will tell him at lunchtime what I saw this morning. Maybe he will change his mind, not sure. Say what you want about the iPhone and Apple, they sure do draw a crowd like no other. It’s almost like a cult.
I wish you all a good weekend and hope that whatever you do, that your not stuck in a line of any kind. I will talk with you peeps later. It’s back to BlackBerry!

Checking in and catching up, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling crappy.
Like you, I never got sick so often as when I was working with people again (like now). I used to be a cashier in the office and was in my own little cashroom, staff dealt with me through the window slot. 7 years ago when we stopped having cashiers and I had to start working at the counter out front along with everyone else, that changed everything, and now I get colds etc. more often. It sucks!
Anyway my friend I hope you are feeling a bit better now and are on the road to recovery! Have a wonderfully relaxing weekend, you deserve it. :-)
Hey it's nice to talk about what IT things you have in your job...and I think I might do the same as well so we can compare notes. I'll do that soon..meanwhile your blogger writer guy is finally back. Sorry for the delay. I emailed you back after you shared your email address in a comment I didn't post. Have a good weekend!!
