I don’t say much about work so I’ll just say the last two weeks were pretty busy. Insanely busy. And busy as well. And not only demanding of my attention, but busy. Really, I’m beat. And when I finally get home my brain makes me watch TV until it’s too late and then I’m tired for the next day, which is busy. It really hasn’t been that much fun.

But the worst thing about my day is that I found out that an online friend had died from, I think, the ‘flu. And I don’t deserve to feel bad like her close friends and family, but she’d email me from time to time and I’ll miss that. I mentioned that to a co-worker, and she told me she had a kid who died from the ‘flu. We both talked about how we’re big proponents of the ‘flu vaccine and, wow, I felt even worse. But I also feel like a schmuck for bringing up the ‘flu to her.

The ‘flu is something that seems like you just soldier through but more than a few people I know have died from it. It’s more dangerous than it feels like it should be.

So I’ll go back to work tomorrow, where it will probably be very busy. I also have to move my cube from where it is to a new space where it’s louder and hotter than I like. But ti’s not as bad as it could be.
