Sick again!
As most of you may have noticed, I haven’t been very active lately in posting on my blog, the reason being I was sick, and being sick throughou t the weekend is not something cool. I had to work late on friday, as some pathetic people from India decided that the website MUST go live on that day itself, which initially was planned to be launched on Monday. The worst part is they only emailed me the data and links to be added to the site on Friday itself! Believe me, copy and pasting 150+ links is time consuming and not one of your most interesting tasks. But wait, that’s not all, the decision was suddenly made that links with zero information should be removed, oh geez, why didn’t anyone think of that earlier? In fact, why bother sending those links in the first place since you want them removed later on? But hey, what are we small fry to say? No matter how illogical, idiotic or simply indecisive requests we get, we still have to follow through, what a sad reality, which brings me to clients AGAIN! Oh, don’t get me started on that bunch again. Anyway, by the time it was 5pm I already felt a bit of a headache, but I thought maybe its the stress build up from dealing with THOSE PEOPLE, so no big deal, just had to continue with my work and wait for the final pieces of information and hopefully finish up the site before 7pm. No luck there, but there was feedback complaining that some links were not pointing to the right pages, duh, I already told you I don’t have the IDs and requested them from you, and when it finally registers I’m being told that the huge list of links for the text links has those IDs as well, right, should have said that earlier, and now its like some 7pm or so.
Ok now I’m feeling a bit warm and the headache is still there, must still be the stress, what the heck, just wanna get this damn site done and get back as soon as possible. And I’m constantly thinking why do they need to change the homepage design every two months or so. Perhaps they have no work to do and just had to produce something for the higher ups to see, or they just enjoy torturing me with these last minute requests. Finally nearing 8pm, the page can be considered done and uploaded, time to go. Well when I reached home, still felt quite ok, but an hour or so later things started kicking in, feeling body temperature rising, head is splitting, and throat is terribly sore, what’s worse? There’s additional phlegm to irritate and make my throat itchy, causing me to cough and further hurt my already sore throat. Later on even had a running nose, now that’s really an all in one package. This would persist through the weekend, I was practically KO’ed on Saturday, sleeping for most of the day, went out a while in the morning to get some chinese medicine, which did not really work, tried the dose of antibiotics from a previous consultation as well, did not even feel its effect.
Before I knew it, it was already Sunday, had to go to a doctor and get some potent medicine, and I’d probably need an MC on monday as well with this splitting headache. And sure enough it was needed, heck the sore throat is still around even now. Damn I hate sorethroats, itchy throats, hope it goes away real soon. Time to get some rest now. Cheerios!
