Fighting the flu


It’s like the commercial where the mom is in the doctor’s office trying to schedule the flu for her kids. The one time I really need to be at work and the flu bug bites me in the rear. I’m on a huge project at work and as I finished yet another conference call yesterday morning I get back to my desk and feel light headed. Without missing a beat along came it’s friends sore throat, fever and sinuses. By lunch I was packing my bag and heading home.

The plus side is that I have the ability to work from home if needed. Last night after 12 hours of sleep I woke up and have been working online since in the comforts of my pj’s. I honestly think I get more work done this way but that may grow old fast. I don’t have anyone bugging me with visits because they have no work to do or feel the need for general annoyances. I wouldn’t want to do this all of the time because I need some human interaction once in awhile but it would help with that whole “green” kick everyone is one. I’m hoping my voice comes back by tomorrow since I have, that’s right more calls.

So here I am working on a presentation and spreadsheets in my PJ’s while listening to the smooth sounds of Eddie Vedder in concert from Italy. Now if I could find some decent chicken soup!

BTW, Podcamp pictures and a review will be coming shortly.

      Working from home rules. I get far less done when I’m in the office, but it’s a necessary evil – even for those who telecommute like me.

      Sorry your sick. You obviously haven’t been consuming enough hops. Dr. Clarke prescribes a tall order of 3 pints of Stone IPA. That should give that flu bug a run for it’s money.
