I think I might be back to 100%. I had a slow building headache all last week that culminated with a massive fever and overall shitty feeling over the weekend. Luckily the fever part really only hit on the weekend, so I only had to grind through the headaches for work.
I really couldn't afford to call in this week or last anyways. Our boss is in France until next week so I've been on my own with everyone...which wouldn't be bad if it wasn't the busiest 2 weeks we've had since I've been there. Ugh. This 3 day weekend is coming up at the perfect time.
Anyways, a few things to recap since I last posted:
Superbowl weekend was pretty eventful. Friday was the boring day, with just an outing to Skizo. Saturday the crew went over to Yayo Taco to catch the UFC PPV for free. I got there before the rush to grab a table, which is good because it filled up fast. It was too busy to really order food or beers as the night went on so I'm glad I got my food when I arrived. After my first couple beers I just bought a bucket instead of waiting in the line. All in all, the fights weren’t that great. The big exception is the total ass whooping GSP put on BJ Penn. Good times!
Not one to call it an early night, I ended up out at Omar's house party later on with Aaron. It was a little subdued this time, probably because the cops showed up to the last one. But it was still fun. Kicked around with Sarahfina and Megan some. Metal James showed up and was good for a few laughs.
The late night led to me waking up just in time for the Super Bowl. I didn't plan on doing any fancy food items this year, just some comfort snacking. The commercials were such a let down this year. The talk about it being one of the greatest games of all time was a bit exaggerated though. I was falling asleep except for a 100 yard run at the end of the first half and the 10 penalties at the end of the 4th.
On Monday the previously mentioned headache started building. I didn't really think much of it until late Friday night when it really kicked into gear and I started burning up.
The rest of Friday was pretty good. It was Ken's last day so I went in early so we could all go to Yardhouse for his going away party. Our crowd was smaller than most of the previous going away shindigs, but that’s because most of the previous ones were for the cool people who actually went out. Oddly enough, Aaron was at Yardhouse again. He's been there every single time I've been there with Ken. By the time happy hour ended we weren't really feeling it anymore, so we headed to Ken's early for the poker game.
Poker wasn't bad. We were doing a winner take all game but I caught more bad beats against Dave again, so I was down to 1,050 out of the 24,000 chips in play. Luckily, an hour later I had built my stack up to be chip leader with almost 18,000 going into heads up with Ken. But I couldn't close the game out, and we ended up chopping the pot because it was taking so long and we wanted to play a second game. That was about the time I started hurting.
Saturday was rough. I didn't really move from the couch except to get water and some food. I did end up dusting off the old Halo 3 disc and played with Chris, Aaron, Ian and Adam. It’s going to take some time to get used to the game again. My goal was to beat Chris at least one game, which I was able to do. ;)
The Halo bug bit me though, so I downloaded the new Halo Wars demo. I don't know if I'll be getting that or not yet. The game play didn't seem very refined compared to a Starcraft or even Command & Conquer game, and the game was very light on the Halo feel too. I do have a Best Buy gift card sitting here, so who knows.
Don't know what’s up for this weekend yet. There will be a lot of the anti-Valentine's Day garbage going on at the clubs. Vomit. Don't know of anything else that's going on as of yet. I will try to hit up the driving range on Monday though. Figure it might be a good idea to shake some rust off if the plan to play Primm Valley next Sunday happens.
I can't wait for it to start warming up. I'm going to get into the golf thing a lot more this year since it was such a blast last year. Got to be careful with my budgeting though. The golf adds up quickly and I owe a pretty big chunk of money on taxes this year.
God I hate 1099s.
