typically random ramblings and late night dribble.
i certainly hope this story has a happy ending.
top gear is one of the best things on tv and that’s thanks in no small part to the people who present it, so here’s hoping hammond gets through this okay and comes out the other side with his enthusiasm undiminished.
i’m sick, and since i don’t have anyone to gripe to, i’m going to have to do a bit of a dear diary.
i went out for a few drinks on friday night..the second time in a week week we’d done that, which is quite amazing for this office. i’m not putting too much stock in it though, since we had international guests. that afternoon i started to get a pretty sore throat, so saturday morning when i woke up, not only was a slightly hungover, but also a big ball of snot. not very pleasant. i didn’t change out of my pyjamas all day and i don’t think the tv changed from cartoon network that often, from memory.
saturday night i didn’t get much sleep, being extremely uncomfortable as you get when you’re all snotty. having to sleep with tissues jammed up both your nostrils is a bit difficult. and then on sunday for some reason came the fever. i really thought you were supposed to get feverish at the beginning of these things, not in the middle or at the end. i didn’t stay in the pjs yesterday, i was too friggin cold. i had a small burst of energy in between where the snot subsided somewhat and the fever began, and i used that to shave, because i was looking pretty dreadful. once that was done though, i collapsed again, back to cartoons.
last night i had trouble sleeping again, mostly during the wee small hours i was really really hot, but i think i eventually got that under control by sticking various extremities out from under the covers, all to varying degrees. i managed to regulate my temperature after a few hours. then this morning i woke up again in a pool of sweat. disgusting.
it’s all grey and foggy this morning, which matches the fog in my head. my legs and arms are stiff from the fever and i can’t think straight. i’ve already done something a bit silly at work this morning, which it turns out is irreversible. luckily it’s not major, but i don’t think i should be allowed to touch anything for the rest of the day, just incase.
so, to sum up, i’m cold, sore, miserable and doing stupid things. i need some tlc. sob.
sorry it’s taken me a couple of days to moderate some comments. i haven’t actually been in the office all that much thankfully, and when i have been it’s a bit of a shambles because of the current lack of desk space.
i’ve taken a few photos, but not so many (forgot to recharge the camera batteries a couple of days in a row) and have mostly been out at night on the other days and didn’t bring the tripod with me. i do have a few in there though, so hopefully something decent will come of them. it won’t be many though, i can assure you.
i’m in the office now, waiting for my host to decide she’s had enough of work (it’s 7:15pm) and is ready to go to the pub. it’s hot, stuffy, i think i may be a bit sick and i need a drink. i’ve got lots on my mind.
