Tired of being sickCategory: body
I have had the worst head cold congestion, cough since monday. I was hoping to keep it from progressing into a cough but I am all coughtastic this morning. I blame the shift in weather coupled by crazy allergies making my throat raw and susceptible to infection. This often happens when I scratch my throat a lot because of allergies.
I have been working from home to prevent everyone else from getting it. This is actually quite unusual. Most of my coworkers go in sick all the time, which is how I generally get sick.
I could just not work but I go crazy when I have nothing to do and even more so over the stress of the work building up makes me anxious and its not like doing nothing makes it get better. I am glad I have a job that can be done from just about anywhere. I can't imagine if I had to operate some specialized machine that was only in one place.
Generally, I can get more done away from the office even in worse physical health. If I ever get a new job I may pursue the kind that allows me to work remotely.

Well hope you get better.... The warm weather a couple days back had a very high Pollen count so that can't help.... Also Sometimes around this time sickness seems to lagger.... What I mean is take me as an example when I was sick I felt all better but was still a bit tired then went into work and felt bad again.... I'm still not 100% guessing the crazy weather has something to do with it........

Though I don't have a cold right now, I have been sneezing quite a lot... Maybe it's all the pollen.

You look so tired. Maybe not working till 2:00 AM in the morning even while sick could help on the path to not getting even sicker. There is a good reason not to go to work when you are this sick. For 99% of the people, the reason is resting. :)

Trip to Toronto To See Andy CCategory: toronto
We took off to Toronto for the weekend to see Andy C at the guvernment as part of bass week 2012. For the last 17 years he has been one of my favorite djs. His sets are always amazing. The trip was pretty great I wish I could have stayed for Saturday night too
My one problem with Canada is trying lack of internet. I wish at&t and Rogers would just allow customers to roam both ways as some partnership.

Haven't been to TO in a long time.... Gotta get my papers right.....
Now the last time I was there they had these (kinda wish Buffalo had them) a bunch of Internet Cafes ..... I wonder if that is because of the lack of internet phone or if those cut down on the need for them? Not sure how people who work here and live there or the other way around do the phone thing but it seems like there should be an easy way.....

skinny ties are back? :)
skinny ties are back? :)
I'm sorry I didn't post about eating when I got some.... It to me tastes more like Whiskey then bacon but you should have tried it.... Last time I read about them they are also in the tops on Elmwood.... The day it came out at the co-op might have been the same day as The Mardi Gras Parade it was close so I didn't go till the next day and found the stuff in the Pizza Freezer also tried the loganberry and it was great... I found out about them through them being at Music Is Art... If you can buy the pricey stuff I say go for it and try it....Good stuff..... Wait maybe I did post ..... See this is why I need a cell phone with internet and all that fun stuff.... That way I could post from there and check in from there.... Of course someone one (A hot chick or maybe a couple hot chicks or some (e:peeps) even) might have to teach me how to....
i almost bought some Lake Effect Ice Cream once... i read the ingredient list and put it back.
