blerg...i have been hit with the flu and am not recovering as quickly as j. did earlier in the week. he was laid up with a fever, stomach stuff and achiness on tuesday and wednesday, and on friday afternoon i felt myself coming down with a fever. i also had the nausea and achiness, but also a sore throat and stuffy head. and general exhaustion. gack.
so, i've been out of commission pretty much all weekend. had to cancel two potentially fun activities yesterday, but...no harm done really. and j. took good care of me last night. we had fun together friday night while i was still capable of being social. had dinner with friends then went to a birthday party at the uptown lounge. i had not been there since the remodel, and it was pretty nice.
and i am so thankful to have tomorrow off. one more day of rest should take care of me.
and i am not exactly looking forward to going back to work anyway. one of my two admin assistants quit on friday, and we are having a temp start on tuesday. the amount of work that is going to pile up over the next couple of months is actually laughable. and everyone is on edge because our CEO has announced that she is leaving in july, so the process of finding her replacement has begun. i am actully glad she is leaving, because she has clearly been focused on other things for the past few months, and i think this change will be good for all involved.
not that i could not get a ton more work done during the day if i would stop goofing off on the internet throughout the day. i wonder i i don't qualify as a borderline addict, because i seem to have very little willpower or control over how much time i spend surfing to the same 10 sites every day at work. i don't really have that issue at home (anymore) and can not use the computer all weekend without a second thought. but at work it is a compulsion. and i REALLY need to back off from it if i am going to keep my head above water at work.
anyway. blah blah blah. ok back to the couch. i wish i had not already watched all of buffy season 5. or that i had some fun new dvds to watch. deep space 9, sportsnight, angel, firefly. hmmm, maybe a trip to amazon.com before i go back to bed...

i find your comment about work + internet to be very true. even with access to a computer and the internet at home, i probably spent more time at work online. of course, when you get hooked on a site, all hopes of productivity are lost.
i really miss SportsNight. what a loss that was....
hope you're well, aj.
