Sushi woke up needing a piss and now I'm awake.

Just as well, because with my throat nearly swollen shut I might have drowned in my own saliva had I stayed asleep.

Today's a sick day for sure.

I'm sitting in the kitchen on my old laptop because it's the only one that can VPN into work and I had to run some reports for the payroll people.  I'm so fucking dedicated.

I've been sitting here for around an hour, and I'm surrounded by cats.  DumDum and Irving are asleep in a box on the floor (that previously held chinese take out, heh) and Willis is asleep in the chair next to me.

I'm like the Noah of cats around here.

Now I guess I'll go see if I can pass out for awhile.

Oh yeah, I just read an email from my boss asking for the status of a project I haven't started yet.  Good times.  I can *feel* the entire length of my digestive tract, and it's not happy.  Swallowing my own saliva is extraordinarily painful, but after 800mg ibuprofen I can do it without wincing at least.

have you tried a fast?  stop eating for a week and see if your system clears itself out.

I can't sleep either.  Yeah, I've got one of those that the boss seems to have "forgotten" about, but someone needs to follow up on, but it's assigned to me.

So I was supposed to be data checking the dumb thing, or running it and sending a guy that does.  Everything has been going through my boss, though.  I volunteered and troubleshot another request, but they want that to go through another boss.  It sucks at the bottom, feels like any mistake is "your" fault; just slap me, I'm new.  But I know it's that super-delayed slap that's the worst kind, the slap me out the door slap.

We have bowling day on Wednesday at 4 pm.  I can't stand this "early" sh*t.  I arrive and work til late.  Means I'll be tired all day, and not get sh*t done because of a bowling party.
