I was half an hour late for work this morning. I'm still tossing up whether it was worth coming in today or just taking a sickie. I'm sick of being in bed, but I'm barely thinking, so neither option was great.

It's been a while since I've spent all weekend offline. Basically, I was sick - that fluey, tired, hot/cold dizzy kinda sick (in all honesty, though, I think the dizziness was just a side effect from the analgesics... that's what comes from taking two when you're half-asleep, and should have just taken one *g*).

Hence, I'm woefully behind on LJ, and as I'm currently covering two jobs at work and I'm not altogether better, it's unlikely that I'll catch up any time soon. On the good side, I did manage to watch hours of Red Dwarf, WW and the first Matrix movie between bouts of sleeping.

One of my favourite episodes is "Celestial Navigation" because not only is Sam adorable and assertive, Josh shows just how much of a pain he can be, and just how charming he can be. It's like a one hour justification of why the guy has a fan club. *g*

Also, although I'm not someone who really reads Red Dwarf slash, I was amused by the slashiness in the S5 episode "Angels and Devils" which featured the Red Dwarf crew cloned twice, into their best selves and worst selves. The good Rimmer and Lister were so obviously in love, and the bad Rimmer was a sadistic cross-dresser. (Think Dr. Frank'n'Furter from Rocky Horror, and you'll realise why I cracked up.)

*huggles* I hope you feel better soon, sweetie. Being sick is just no fun.

Thanks. It's not fun, but it's bearable in bed.

Being at work, totally sucks.

Oh yeah, been there, done that.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Maybe you should spend tomorrow in bed? You'll get better more quickly if you give yourself time to rest and not push yourself. Take care.

Normally, I would have taken today off and not thought twice about it. However, at the moment, I'm kinda it for the financial services division. Conce co-worker left, I'm temporarily holding the fort for both positions, but normally there's two other staff who used to do our jobs and can be relied upon in trouble - except for the fact that they're both off on uni study leave for the next two weeks.

So, out of 4 staff that can do the job, there's only me available to do it.

Although, having said that, it's not like I'm really accomplishing much, so I might as well take tomorrow off... except that we're going through Fusion and that's going to be a big thing...

Bugger. *grrr*

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm just whining 'cos I feel lousy. Time for more cold & flu tablets, me thinks.
