Biohazard, Part III

My dear cold took a turn for the ugly last night but not as badly as the prior evening. This is getting seriously tiresome, literally: I was waking up every 30-45 minutes all of last night. If I hadn't already quarantined myself to the small guestroom, the guys would have dumped me there with great annoyance.

This morning, I'm still less than I should be but more functional than I've been since xmas day. I hadn't been to the office in a week and another four day weekend lay before me so I thought it would be a good idea --or at least good politics-- to make an appearance at work, even if I couldn't bear to stay the entire day.

Commuter traffic was a dream this morning; it probably was was every day this week but I didn't realize how much so until today. Since I'm driving against the flow of traffic, my commute time wasn't affected at all but I could see the oncoming flow of commuter traffic was an insignificant trickle compared to the stop-and-go nightmare of thousands of cars clogging every lane of I270.

As expected, the office is damn near devoid of any human life: there's two other people on my floor right now, although I do expect two more to arrive shortly. Catching up on a week's e-mail took only 20 minutes. In short, I've missed nothing and I have nothing work-related to do for the balance of today. Of all the times to have a serious illness, this was close to ideal.

I don't know if we'll be going downtown for Happy Hour tonight; for me, it's largely dependent on my energy level. Stay tuned.

I wish you a quick and full recovery!!!

It would be great to see you at the Happy Hour tonight. I saw you guys at the movies on Christmas day but I was running late and couldn't stop to say hello...

I wonder how packed Green Lantern will be after Titan closed.

Alas, it doesn't seem likely we'll be at happy hour tonight. I'd be spending much of the evening sniffling and coughing anyway, an unpleasant experience for everyone. I should stay in to rest. The guys have indicated they'd prefer to stand vigil over me possibly to grab my credit cards when/if I pass out.
