We're getting settled, slowly, but surely. I really like the apartment - the layout is great for our needs, but it's hard to move in somewhere that also needs work. At least we got the kitchen and bathroom painted so far. I just started working this week. I took the job at the tiny Brooklyn firm. I think I landed in a very good place. Not only is the work they do beautiful, they also aggressively go after awards and competitions, AND they believe in a 40 hour work week. It's a bit of a miracle really. I stayed a little late last night because of a deadline (a whole 45 minutes!) and my boss apologized to me for it being so crazy during my first few days and assured me that it wasn't normally like that. Then he suggested that I take today off (in part because I was coughing all day on Wednesday). He said that the day after a deadline is quiet enough and he'd rather have me healthy. I could get used to people being so human.
Considering how clumsy I was being with AutoCAD and how tight the deadline was I was amazed at how kind everyone was. It was a perfect storm for frustration and upsetness, but instead they were wonderful. Luckliy, I could pull out my great PhotoShop skills and contribute nicely to the end product.
It gives me a bit of a warm fuzzy as I sit at home and feel miserable. After I got back from dropping J at school and grabbing a little breakfast with Steve I decided to go back home. I was hoping that a good breakfast would clear my head a bit and get me going but no such luck. I actually took the day off and slept all day. I let myself ignore all the stuff that needs to get done in the house. My head is aching and stuffy and I have a terrible sounding cough though luckily not too often. Even so, I'm letting it run its course. No meds for now. I'm running a bit of a fever, but as long as it's not high, I'd rather let the fever burn out the ick than try to medicate myself against it. I get the feeling stopping the fever will simply slow down my getting better. I may give in since in about 1/2 an hour I'll have to be on for Jacob and will have to get dinner going and will need to function like a well person.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll be much better. I feel like it's just no good to take two sick days during your first week of work! One is plenty, thank you very much.
