ow ow ow, make the bad man stop...

Egads, what an emotionally fraught week it was... for various reasons, my poor head has hammers in it, mostly due to a head cold. I could have done without that, but everyone at work got sick, so I took my turn gracefully. It really has taken a lot out of me, and it hasn't gone away yet. I'm mentally and physically drained. Work was bonkers, as we had one guy quit Monday morning, the manager had a death in the family and was gone and another technician had his mother in the hospital and missed some time. I ran around too much and got wiped out, which probably helped the cold dig its claws in. On top of a week of craziness, I was attending a birthday party for an ex, and I ended up over-anxious and completely wound up for no reason. Fucking brain. Four days of cough suppressants and cold medication made me the anti-life of the party, I'll tell you that. I had less energy than a bowl of pudding. I went with a friend to see 300 on IMAX, which was quite rewarding, but the two of us had the sniffles and I was miserable, sore and tired out of my bloomin' mind, so it took away from the overall experience. Harsh! I don't like things interfering with my movie-going. I had one experience on the weekend that made me really happy and picked up my spirits considerably. I'll keep that one in the vault, I'm greedy and don't want to share. Last but not least, I had a really funny moment at Wendy's restaurant before the movie. As we were walking in, I held the door for two people coming out and my automated customer service program kicked in... as they walked through the door, they said "Thank you" and I automatically replied, "You have a nice day." Heh. It is to laugh. Sweet fuck, it's early in the morning and I can't sleep. Work starts in a few hours and I have a walloping headache. This is going to be one long fucking day.
