Feeling very ill

Dec 18, 2004 22:02

The last few days have been a bit hellish for me.

I went for a works do at a restaraunt in town called Don Giovanis. I was not impressed with the restaraunt, the customer service was appauling and the place seemed to be permeated by a rather unpleasant pungent smell. I will not be going there again. Afterwards we all went to the pub, though I only stayed for a little while as I was feeling under the weather.

My jaw (joint) has been giving me a lot of pain recently on the lef hand side. It is making it rather uncomfortable to move my mouth and is adding to the pain inflicted on me by having a sore throat and head. I seem to remember having this same problem just before my Hyperacusis relapsed, lets hope this time around, it does not precurse misery on me like it did last time.

Other than that, I am really looking forward to Christmas, opening presents, eating nice food, spending time with friends and family. I also have a week off which is what I really need right now as work is getting to me a bit. I know that I am appreciated and valued at work, however, my position of office clown is really getting me down. Another thing that gets me down is that someone at work, who I have considered my friend for several years, is actually no more than a social comelian who is desperate to be liked by everyone. He changes his views and behaviour to get attention/popularity from other people. It makes me feel rather foolish that I ever respected him as a person, because he clearly lacks any conviction as to who he wants to be. This all started coming to light when I started working back at HBS, and I noticed a pattern in his behaviour.

On a more positive note, I have had a nice day today, Donna and I went into town to buy a few last minute christmas presents. It was heaving and very stressful finding our way around. We bought my Dad's christmas present (a torch with a built in clockwork generator) from Argos. While we were queing at the collection point some mixed race youth and his vile girlfriend decided they were going to try and push in in front of us (we were next in line in the queue). As soon as they did this, I discretely quietly just walked in front of them, and they just stood there in stunned silence.

Anyway, that basically sums up the past few days I have lived. Hopefully, by the time I make my next entry, I will be feeling a little better.
