I'd like to console teenage plumber boy with my favorite quote from Quigley Down Under:
Don't worry, on a new job it's quite common for things not to go well at first. ...
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

I just look at it as getting sickness out of the way before next weekend.
So much for my plans this weekend, though. I'm taking NyQuil as soon as I get home from work, and I doubt I'll get back out of bed until tomorrow morning.
Now if only the DayQuil would kick in. Actually, my fear is that it already has, and that this is as functional as I'm going to get today. And right now I am cranky incapable.

I think we need a dedicated Whoissick.org just for Buffistas.

the pain I had yesterday, the feeling that my lungs were being smashed in?
Oof. If that comes back I think a doctor is in order, cause those don't sound like symptoms to "wait and see" with.

I am back at work, and mostly better. Occasionally the mass of mucus concreted into my sinuses throbs. But I'm not coughing and can talk, mostly.

If I can make it to lunch without passing out, I'm going home early.

After we dealt with a Matilda crisis last night (from 3:30 to 5am) last night I dreamt that you came to our house and made everything better.
Such is the esteem my subconscious holds for your flea mom superpowers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If I can make it to lunch without passing out, I'm going home early.
If you do pass out, do you have volunteers lined up to carry you home?

I figure as long as I don't injure myself going down, they're welcome to just leave me there until I wake up.
I'm a little less wobbly now that I've had caffeine, but I suspect that the world could tilt over at any moment.

Coding and Sleeping
Emaryn did just fine at school. She still likes homeschooling better because, according to her, she had to write too much, it was too easy, and she didn't like the idea of going to school every day. My wife has determined to start a more rigorous schedule at home. Probably a lot will also ride on how well Emaryn does on her proctored end of term exams. While Emaryn reads though books like a buzzsaw and breezes through worksheets, she doesn't have very good study discipline which hurt her in the last set of exams she took. She got A's but only because she had done really well in the first set of exams for the grade.
