back with a vengeance
Argh. Spent yesterday really and truly sick. Had a fever, and alternated between cold and hot sweats -- my sheets were disgusting. In fact I'm really pissed because my favorite sheets (moss green) are now missing the fitted sheet -- which my tossing and turning and sweating seem to have worn through. (Seriously, there were five big rips there and it's clear the fabric is ruined. Must see about finding a fitted sheet that matches it, as the other bits are fine.)
On the bright side, I lost a good five pounds between not really eating much and losing most of it within hours of entry.
So to recap: house is a mess. No prezzies wrapped and only about half are bought. No cookies baked. Cards not done. Musical guest proposal not written.
On way in this morning, I find out my sister's job may be on the line again -- she works in the financing industry but in a role that has thus far been immune to the horrible cuts.
Then I get into work and discover that $CLIENT's team haven't even *replied* to the "URGENT - STUFF IS BROKEN" mail I sent weds morning. Looks like they changed something and didn't tell us, and now half the damn links don't work. Loverly. But wait, there's more! A bunch of contracts have been disabled causing yet more broken links! And what ho? There is yet another issue in that our overnight file and data pushes may have failed AGAIN, for the third time this week.
Oh yeah -- and it's chilly in here. Despite hearing the hiss of the HVAC above my desk, I've just checked and there is no air of any kind coming out my vents. And I've left my sweater home.
Sigh. This afternoon we have our holiday party at work and I am SO not in the mood. But at least I'm feeling better and someone put the tree up in the office.
