Miserabilism

[andrewducker]

Today at 3:45, I had a conversation with my tech-lead that went something like this:

"I've investigated the problem with the wossname. Thingy. Place where stuff we do gets recorded. Logging thingy. It keeps truncating the stuff. Um. Stuff.... that tells us where the problem was. Bugger this, I feel like shit. I'm going home."

Strangely, I had just managed to fix the problem where stack traces were being truncated by our logging database, as soon as they hit a new line. It just took me about 4 times as long as it should do.

And I don't even feel _that_ bad - just bad enough that I was glad for enough flexi-time to allow me to head home early.

Nobody about this evening though, and my body just feels _drained_, so I'm feeling somewhat down and miserable. Not at all like the icon

In a moment I'm going to summon the energy to put a wash on, and then plonk on the sofa with a blanket and see what's on to entertain me.

Send dancing girls. Quiet ones.

I'd come round and dance for you, but suspect I would add to your germs. My bed is cosy and my sofa comfy, I just need food!!!! Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli Crisps are not sustaining me

I could send around dancing ex-girlfriends....

Just have to tell them my execution is being staged live at your place.

Cheers, that made me laugh.

Say hi to Nathan from me. And apologise for me being so crap at keeping in contact.

Hmm that was like me meeting my boss in town in Saturday then disappearing off to hide beneath duvet and eat pizza. All self induced thought. You've been doing loads recently, you need to think about taking some time just to chill and relax. Nubile young wenches to tend to your every need, does come as extra these days.

I could offer you an Aaron but even by courier he wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.

I don't think it's _just_ self-induced thought - Jackie and Lilian are both down with nasty colds and four or five people at work have been off in the last week.

But I suspect I have been overdoing things - I relaxed last night for the first time in a few days, and today I felt completely knocked over, so there could be well a link.

Yup, there are a couple of people down with nasty colds at my workplace too, it seems to be doing the rounds. I'm hoping that I don't get it until after the fencing tournament this weekend (maybe I can work from home the rest of the week ? :-) ).

I deny infecting you - unless viral infection can be passed via the internet. I haven't seen you in eons!!! I know I dropped you on Monday cos I felt rubbish, but week after next I want you one evening - I've forgotten what men look like!!!

Sounds familiar! Hope you feel better soon.

I have to summon the energy to do all my ironing tonight. Urgh. :(
