In fact I have not been having a very good week. I came home from work early on Thursday, itself an unusual thing, feeling quite ill, and that night had a fever of 100.2 deg. It was terrible - just lying in bed being delirious at the ceiling. R thought I had strep throat and took me to the doctor to get a throat swab the next day. No strep, but the trip to the doctor wore me out entirely (even though only 5 minutes away) and I was pretty well unconscious the rest of the day. We had dinner with my parents, and I very nearly pitched forward into the soup. Maybe I have SARS?

Or not. The doctor perscribed some horse pills yesterday, and I feel better already. Then again, maybe I'm just full. If these pills were any bigger, they would have to be cookies. It's different from doctor to doctor - I remember the university clinic doctor back at college who would rain 3 kinds of antibiotics on me for a sore throat, and then there was Dr G in Fallbrook, who wouldn't even give me cortisone for poisn oak but instead told me to just stop scratching.

I managed to work from home today and even went to an off-campus meeting for an inter-departmental web project. I called my boss after the meeting to tell her what was decided, and she said, "that's not what I wanted this project to do!" and I said, "hey, it's not really my place to tell the deputy director of Engineering what to do with his project, yo." I mean, the man actually waved his hand Jean-Luc Picard style and said, "make it so." One day soon I will have that much power! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
