The Show Must Go On
Ugh… I’m really not feeling well at ALL, but I’m quite determined to make it through the work week so that the co-worker I’m covering for (and more importantly, a friend) can have an actual vacation. When you’re the only one who does what you do, it’s rare to take time off and actually relax without being interrupted with the inevitable question or problem that can ONLY be addressed by you. *sigh* On the other hand, I’d suppose there’s a bit of job security to balance it out somewhat. 
Just trying to be optimistic! Thanks to the help of another unsung colleage (the “secretary” of course), I’ve not been truly overwhelmed by jumping in to do a job that I’m quite rusty at for lack of practice. And I may be hardly able to do much of anything else because I feel so shitty, but at least I can fulfill my professional obligations. It’s something to focus on other than my roiling, swollen innards.
However, I’ve been up since about 4 AM, and I’m pretty sure I feel better today than I did yesterday at this time. I’m sure I look better, since I took advantage of some of that extra time this morning to slap a little makeup on my mug. 
So it goes… the worse I feel, the better I try to look. And the older I get, the longer it takes to de-hagify! May as well put the extra waking hours to good use.
Eh, I’m going in early again today. Maybe I’ll get a decent fucking parking place if I hurry.
