It's Friday.

Our regularly scheduled staff meeting got moved to this morning from its usual 11:30 AM, so no pizza for lunch on the company dime. Bastards!

I have Conjunctivitis! This is fucking awesome; I just love feeling like my eyes are trying to claw their way out of my face! I would have skipped work as I've only been treating it for about 18 hours now, but, meeting! Share and enjoy.

Why am I writing like montoya? Someone kill me; Weasel Boy's brain is taking over!

And hey, missysedai supplied us with some meme-age for the morning:



You are Van Gogh Google

You are deep and thoughtful and creative and
sometimes can be lonely. You may not be arty
like Van Gogh himself but singing, painting,
drawing, writing, dancing and playing an
instrument are all forms of art too. Sometimes
you may feel lonely but you always have an
escape from it all through your art form,
whatever it may be.

People love you for your intelligence and
creativity and your ability to see life in a
whole other way.


Which Google Are You?

The weather appears to be moving from Suck back to Nice too, so that's good.

Ungh, Ye Olde Pinkeye. Hope it clears up sooner rather than later.

Ewww

Pinkeye sucks... I had it many years ago and hope to never have it again. Isn't it supposedly contagious, too? Eeww...

This makes me glad I'm a stay at home wife.

This is only the second or third time in my life I've had it, and I walked around for a few days with it before finally going to the doctor. It didn't present as normal: no goopy eyes, and the red in the eyes was minor. If I hadn't been having pain due to light sensitivity, I'd have written it off totally and never bothered going to the doctor.

If you create an LJ account, I'll go ahead and add you to my list of preferred readers. I do post things on occasion that aren't visible to the world, and having an LJ account doesn't require that you create entries in your journal or anything silly like that.

Get better soon. When I had conjuctivitis about eight months ago I was told that I shouldn't have gone to the lab, as it's very easily transmittable; isn't that a good enough excuse to even skip a meeting? Or is it a case of "If I don't attend the meeting they are going to assign boatloads of work to me."?

When is this Nice weather supposed to come? It was all cold and covered and dreary when I was biking this morning.

It is highly contagious, and now that the meeting is over, I'm planning on using it as an excuse to leave in about 20 minutes. I'm working tomorrow on some stuff that can only be done while people are out of the office anyway, so there shouldn't be any complaints coupled with my current condition.

The forecast was clearing and warming up today, with sunny and warm continuing after that with the occasional passing shower or t-storm in the afternoon for the next week or so...looking at the forecast now in another tab shows that the clearing up bit has been pushed back till later tonight now.

The meeting was a 'where we stand 6 months post Assimilation by Raytheon Faction of Borg' as well as our normal monthly staff meeting. Unfortunately, it's not one I thought I could skip.

Okay...

Now I have an account...

Sorry about your eyes. Having pink eye is not the best way to spend your weekend. I think you should duck out of work so you don't spread it around... And then you can fuck around on the net more, too.

Dude, you shouldn't have gone to work at all. I mean, unless you don't care about infecting your co-workers, because pink eye is HIGHLY contagious.

I once thought I might be getting pink eye (turns out, I just had grit lodged in my contact), and offhandedly mentioned it to Old Boss, and was told to GO HOME RIGHT NOW AND DON'T TOUCH ME. And then he went around wiping everything I might have touched with antiseptic wipes.

Of course, Old Boss was something of a hypochondriac, but he was right about how easy it is to transmit to other people.

I'm medicated. Besides, I've apparently been exposing them all week, and if they haven't caught it yet, they aren't going to.
