Plague Days
I've been down for the past week, actually out of work last Thursday and Friday, although evidence suggests I shoulda been taking a sick week off. It's the same crud which has leveled half of Seattle.
I believe I'm ordinarily pretty optimistic, patient, and tolerant--SHADDUP, YOU IN THE PEANUT GALLERY--but when I'm feeling sick, I don't feel like giving an inch to anyone or anything. Everything that usually bothers-me-but-not-enough-to-say-anything really sticks in my craw and makes me pissy.
Today I'm back at work, and remembering the stress that got me run-down in the first place. Everyone else here is stressed out too, and at least half of them are complaining about crud symptoms. I'm not gonna let it get me down, though:
