Random Thoughts #6

--I was sick all weekend. It started Friday afternoon at lunch with a headache, then quickly became a full-fledged sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy-head, fever kind of sick. Plus a sore throat. I managed to sleep just about the whole weekend, which helped, but it made the weekend go by way too fast.

--On average, it takes just about 46 seconds for a Nutter Butter to sink in a glass of Lactaid Fat Free milk.

--I realized this weekend that I have a habit of inspecting the Kleenex after I blow my nose to look at my, um, productivity. I fully appreciate that this isn't socially acceptable, but a guy's got to know what's coming out of his body, right? It helps me make decisions about how sick I am, or what type of medicine I need to take. The funny thing is that I caught myself trying to do it discreetly, even when I was by myself.

--Why is John Lithgow pitching Campbell's Soup? I hate seeing actors I admire stoop to pushing commerical products. Especially that of watered-down chicken parts soaked in mushy vegatables.

--I need to make travel plans to go home for Christmas. I shouldn't bitch, but two trips to Texas in a matter of a month from each other is a bit excessive, not to mention taxing on the checkbook. Maybe I can convince my family to start having Christmas in June, or Thanksgiving in July.

--I sneezed approximately 213 times in the making of this post.

--And here it is, Monday morning, and I've decided to stay home one more day. If you want to picture my slavish dedication to my job, picture me in sweatpants and a sweatshirt, with 3 days worth of facial hair (for me, that's to my ankles) with a headset on, having a conference call with Louisville, KY, Chennai, India and Eden Prarie, MN. Ah, technology.
