In sickness and in health...
Well in sickness this week mostly.
Colds should not make you feel this bad. Normally a heavy dose of sudafed and some paracetamol and I can atleast function - with enough caffine anyway.
Had a day off sick last week, but then tried to struggle on, now I had to take yesterday off and today :( I hate having to take time off work. Part of it comes form being a contractor in the past - no sick pay - but I also really enjoy this job and feels like I'm letting them down.
Plus in those days I did struggle in I think I managed to infect the rest of the office...
Well fingers crossed it will be cleared up over the weekend, got a docs appointment in an hour since I suspect its gone into my sinuses and antibiotics will be required :( no drinking next week then.
I certainly do want to be recovered in time for the halloween party!!!
In other news finally got around to replcing the case and powersupply on my old computer - the cheap case I had it in before needed so many fans to keep it cool it sounded like a jet engine. But my ailing firewall, a pentium 150 laptop, needs replacing and if that desktop is to become an always on server it needs to be quiet. So one antec p182 case later and all is well... except for the dvd drive I replaced. It didn't come with a SATA cable and since I was replacing an old style IDE drive I don't have one here. So here I am, off sick, nothing to do and I can't even work on reinstalling this PC because I lack a cable and am certainly not up to a cycle to PC World to pick up a replacement :( this sucks!
