I hab a code in mah node.

::cough::

Ahem…

Luckily, it’s not in my fingers.

Unfortunately, because we’re on a huge deadline for work, I had to go into the office today, which I did. And the work got done, although it took way longer to do than I expected, and it left my poor boss feeling very bad for me when she hopped online later at night to find me still toiling at the office.

But I made it home in time to pick up some chicken soup from Zorba’s (my answer to homemade chicken soup is to buy it from the local Greek restaurant), since Rudi had eaten at a meeting, before Castle came on.

And unless I feel supremely better tomorrow, after my 8 a.m. conference call with India, I’m planning to head back to bed and stay home from work.

Because our beta delivery is Friday and I need to be back to fighting shape by then.

Is it May yet?

I finally got my butt to the doctor’s office. On Monday, I called the doctor David went to after our previous doctor retired, and scheduled an appointment for Thursday – that was the earliest they had available. After a restless night of coughing and fever, David pointed out that we have a health clinic on campus here at work. I went and saw them.

They used listening to my lungs as a training tool for the nurses. I got a nebulizer and left with steroids, antibiotics, and an albuterol inhaler. Then I got chest x-rays which showed that I don’t have pneumonia.

When telling the guy I work with, he freaked out and said “Don’t you die on me!” I had to explain to him that this wasn’t a possibility he needed to worry about.

@GK: Good grief! It sounds like the nurses thought you were dying!
