bleah.

stoopid head cold. stoopid sinuses. stoopid medicine.

woke up with the alarm (read: when the thing had been going off for about 45 minutes, i.e. about 15 minutes before it would have been too late) this morning, and could hardly lift my head to get out of bed. called cmshaw to handle the driving, called and e-mailed darthrami with a heads-up, e-mailed co-worker with request to fax my time sheet to HR, e-mailed boss man to let him know i wouldn't be in and ask what the rule is about working from home.

mad love to cmshaw, and apologies for waking you with the phone.

apologies also to darthrami, and hope it all went smoothly.

co-worker e-mailed back to say she'd found the time sheet, but not the fax number, and when she asked micro-managing not-boss what the fax number was, he went into a tizzy and was all Why wasn't it done on monday. so i had that fire to put out -- e-mailed him saying, basically, Because it wasn't due until wednesday, like it is every week, i'm on top of it, relax. he responded with Oh, okay, and that was that -- but if he'd kept it going i'd have been able to point out that monday was crazy-day with two doctor's appointments and rushing off to seder, and yesterday was a little tied up with the micro-managing grandboss' insistence on a detailed report of Everything.

rar.

boss man e-mailed back to say, and i quote, "Go for it."

have also been downstairs to get a new swipey-card for the building, and buy crackers.

time to take medicine and make some soup.
