Chemist

Yesterday, I brought in some chili from the night before to have for lunch which I ate around 12:30, pretty much when I got there. I spent the first half of the day updating spreadsheets, calling Captains, and fixing stupid Allison's mistakes. To hold me over until dinner I went and got some sushi again, salmon and avocado this time. I spent the rest of the day replacing sample subjects who were no longer in the CFA, had moved, etc. and calling more Captains. I had pretty good success calling Captains as I think there were less than 10 left that we had been unable to reach. We hit the halfway mark about halfway through the day for the phone survey. Hopefully working after hours more will allow us to pick up our rate of surveys completed per day. Throughout the day, I got progressively sicker and sitting in the chair all day definately did not help my back. By the end of the day, I was pretty miserable. I slept on the tram ride home. I got home at 9pm and ate some stir fry. I really wasn't that hungry because I didn't feel good so I packed it up for lunch the next day. I layed on the couch the rest of the night trying not to die coughing. I went to bed around midnight.

The next day, I woke up sick as ever. I woke up at 8:30am because we were going to work 10am-6pm today because we have a meeting with our advisers at 7:30pm. I was moving pretty slow but I knew I had to go into work because no one else knows how to work the spreadsheets. I decided I'd go in late and to fight this sickness and kill it with fire. I walked down to the chemist to get some ammo. That's what they call a pharmacy here, a chemist. The chemist was really nice and hooked me up with the Australian version of Dayquil and some potent cough drops. After that I went next door to the Aldi's and picked up a Power-C vitamin water. I'm not messing around. I took them one after the other and headed into work. Hopefully I can make it through the day and my cold/flu whatever passes before the weekend.
