The laryngitis saga continues
Only it's not laryngitis. I went back to the doctor's today (wow, I really wanted to capitalize that word while I was typing) and he didn't say anything about laryngitis. It's just a nasty cold that has settled on my vocal cords and won't go away. Great.
I feel like I'm spamming my poor flist with useless posts, but I really miss being able to talk. I'm not a chatterbox in real life, but it's so weird not being able to communicate, not even with a simple yes or no. I've turned in to a mime. Ultimately, that means I taking the rest of the week off from work. Granted, we had Friday off anyway, so it's only one more day, but I've never been out sick for such a long before. I was sending emails back and forth today with the admin looking after my stuff and she sounds super swamped. I feel bad that I can't come in and help, but I'm sure that my co-workers don't want to catch what I have.
I did discover today that I have more remote access than I thought. I can actually get into project folders from home. Not that it did me much good. I can't save into them for some strange reason. So I was able to help out a little. Didn't tell anyone beyond the other admin, though. I don't need people bugging me at home.
When I wasn't trying to work out my access, I was happily watching the DVD for "The Reign of Terror" that I got out of the library. I just love that my library keeps buying Doctor Who DVDs. This one was a fun one since they animated the missing episodes. It's a little weird, though, watching the animated episodes. How do the animators decide what a shot should look like? Are they following notes left behind by the director? Or is it the animator's prerogative? And I found that the direction of the animated episodes really doesn't match the rest, but I think it's probably because of the limitation of the animation. You get more close-ups in the animation while the regular episodes are staged more traditionally for TV at the time. I wish the DVD had a featurette about the missing episodes and how they were animated. It's fair to say that only geeks will buy the DVD and we love stuff like that. :-)
I'm sick of being sick. :-P
