So, if you remember, I came into my friend Rand's work on Friday to train to cover the phones for the two Admin people who were going out of town for Thanksgiving. I'm covering the phones for them and today is the first day that I'm in here flying solo. Though I literally only have to answer the phone - when I'm not doing that, she gave me her pc login so I could surf the net, or read a book, or whatever - it's still a bit nerve-wracking when you're literally the only one around. I just got my first (and only so far) call of the morning a few minutes ago. She thought that it'd be a quite week with so many people out on vacation and it being a holiday week and all. I hope so. I think it will be, so we're sticking with that plan. *laughs* I'm here today and tomorrow from 8:30am-5:30pm and then a half day on Wednesday.
This morning though, I woke up some time around five in the morning, really feeling ill and like I needed to puke. I got out of bed, coughing, and got myself a drink of water. I went back to sleep and didn't think any more of it. But when I got up this morning for real at 7am, I started to get ready, only to be overcome with being nauseous again and I stood there, dry-heaving for several minutes. Ugh, I hate that feeling so much. The overwhelming need to throw up; the way it makes me shake and tear up; the way I feel like I've been run over by a Mack truck afterwards.
I finished getting ready and took my Love into his work. Then on the way here, I stopped and got myself some Pepto with the very last of my cash, hoping it would dispell the lingering feeling of being ill. I also grabbed a Sprite when I got here and I'm sipping that. Overall, I feel better, but I still feel like I was sick a short time ago and could be again.
Let's see...subject change. The only real thing I'm worried about in terms of my couple days here is the length of the days. In all honesty, I'm not really used to sitting in place for 8 hours at a time. Sure, I spend a lot of time in my day (a few hours generally) surfing the net, but it's not all I do by half. I also watch some tv, I generally spend some time taking a shower, writing some letters or other PX stuff, maybe work on an art project like doing some jewelry or something. In all though, I move around the apartment at leisure and so it's a different thing for me to be in one place.
By the way, this entry will most likely be full of errors even though I'm using the backspace continuously - it's one of the normal, non-split keyboards so my fingers are getting all mixed up with each other and then to add insult to injury, the backspace button is one of those half-sized ones. ;) So...pardon the keyboard for my typos. I'm trying to get them as I type and I'm not typing anywhere near as fast on this keyboard as I normally do, but still, there's probably some in here somewhere.
I think I'll nose around the net a bit since I'm just kinda writing whatever comes to mind and that probably makes for a boring entry. I'm sure I'll be back late when I've run out of things to go look at and blather more then.
