quick update on the day:
Feb. 11th, 2004 12:22 amwork: frustrating, as servers keep going down without warning and booting everyone out of the system we're supposed to be using to update things. a whole cube farm (well, a whole plowed field in a cube farm) in which nobody can get any work done! excellent. very productive. going in an hour early tomorrow (wednesday), to make up some of the time i wasn't not-working yesterday! ah, the joys of being paid hourly. broke ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
laurakaye in some of the down time. feel guilty about this.
sick: yes, still sick, but now on the drugs. happy antibiotics, and even happier decongestants. i'm to take them both twice a day, i.e. twelve hours apart. as i said todarthrami at about 9:00 this morning, when i wasn't supposed to take them until 9:30 (i know, no biggie, but structure is good for me), i really want the time to speed up so i can take my medicine -- not because i'm an antibiotic junkie, but because there's a part of my mind that's still six years old and genuinely believes that as soon as you take your medicine, you get better. (that part of my mind is not susceptible, unfortunately, to the placebo effect, so when 9:30 rolls around and i take the medicine and don't immediately feel better, it's a little disappointed. but by then, it's not in control, so it's all okay. that inner six-year-old only comes out, evidently, when it's almost time to take the medicine.)
curling: won tonight! the team ofdarthrami, self, DS (stepping in for flt), and LA defeated the three-woman team of DB, DF, and JF, 10 to 9 in eight ends (they got 1, 2, 5, 7; we got 3, 4, 6, 8). in fact we should probably have handled them more easily than we did, given that JF is so wildly unpredictable -- it's not that her skip only has five rocks for every eight of the opponents', but there's sure only five she can count on. so given that, and the way DB tends to choke right up under pressure, and given that the four of us were playing really pretty well (apart from the Elusive Guard issue), it was a little surprising that the game was as close as it was. but whatever. we had fun, which is the most important thing; we played well, which is next; and we won, which is always good. and CL came over during and after the game to exclaim over a couple of impressive shots she'd seen me make, which is particularly cool.
friends with medical emergencies: recovering, i'm told, and thank goodness. promise you'll let me know if there's anything i can do, willya? (ah, screw it, neither of you will see this until like a week from now. i'll call in the morning.)
