Month: March 2012

Not a whole lot to report. I think I’m getting better. I sat in, via telephone, on a group meeting this afternoon at work, which was interesting. And I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning, hopefully to give me the all-clear. I really do need to go back to work, for a lot of reasons, but partly just so I can get out of the house for a change.

I have watched a lot of 30 Rock recently.

I feel better today, although it’s questionable how much of the week I would have spent at home had I not been told to by my doctor’s office. I’m starting to feel a little squirrely, like I’m under house arrest, thanks in no small part to Very Big (and Not So Great) Things happening at the office, and my only being aware of them through the occasional e-mail. (There’s a meeting tomorrow to discuss it all, and what it means for us going forward, and I will be calling in even if I don’t make it to Manhattan in person.) For now, I’m taking the antibiotics, getting some rest — I slept ten or eleven hours last night — burning up vacation days, and trying to get myself in shape to go back in next week. But I’m really feeling disconnected from it all…at a time when disconnection is not what the doctor ordered.

Oh, by the way, it’s possible that there’s some redirect malware operating on my site. I’ve been noticing the occasional weirdness when accessing it (mostly on the iPad), and a scan suggested there are some scripts running on some posts. I haven’t yet been able to figure out how to find and clean them myself, so just be forewarned.

You may find this difficult to believe, but lying in bed all day, watching episodes of 30 Rock and taking antibiotics has seriously lost its allure. With some pretty big (and not particularly welcome) news drifting in from the office via e-mail, I’m starting to feel weirdly disconnected from my life. There’s never a good time to be unexpectedly out of the office for more than a week at a time, but now, at the beginning of the year and with so many changes underway, it’s particularly troublesome.

And though I’ve yet to shake this cough, and going back in right now would maybe just make me worse (if not also make other people sick), I can’t say I’m much enjoying this potentially costly (if only in vacation days) time off.
