I’m sitting through a very long FTP download, so I may as well kill a few minutes.
It’s been an OK week so far. St. Patty’s was nice, but I did have too much to drink. Recently I’ve been cutting down on how much I take in and for whatever reason it wasn’t as much fun for me as it usually is. There were some other things going on too, but other things always do. Tim Malloys, Pipe and Drums, and Boiled In Lead were excellent as always!
Woke up yesterday feeling like utter hell. Apparently, the Guinness did not combine well with the sore throat I’d been fighting, so I called in sick for the day and ended up playing with DHTML rather than doing anything responsible with my semi-free time.
Still have the cough, but I made it into work. Got a call from the doctor (I’d gone in last Friday for some tests) and it was one of those good/bad things. No surprises on the stuff I’d gone to have checked up for, but when I was in there, I’d gotten a throat culture. They told me that it came back negative for Strep Throat, so I figured I was cool for the weekend.
Well, today it turns out that I do, in fact, have Strep throat. This is not good.
Had I known, I would have avoided being around so many people, but as it was, I bounced at Zero on Friday and Saturday, hung out with Joy on Saturday, Sunday, and a bit of Monday, was at work Monday, and talked with a ton of people Monday night.
Now I’ve got to let as many people as possible know that I may have been contagious. GRRR. Not cool. At least it is easy enough to treat.
Anyway, that’s been my week and the FTP is almost done, so ciao for now.
