Last week was a week of recovery. It all started when we had to stay up to watch the time change. Well I guess we didn’t really “have” to see the time change, but we did rent a few movies and ended up getting all are clocks set at two in the morning. The day after I wasn’t a hundred percent, but I thought that was because I was sleep-deprived (we had to get up early for church…10:30 =P). Monday was not a good day, I was running a temperature just over 101 degrees and all I wanted to do was sleep. But, there was an annoying thing called work I had to go to (it was a pretty rough day). Once I got home, I hit the bed and apparently was really out of it the rest of the day. I actually thought I was dreaming and in “my dream” I had driven to Taco Bell. I realized it wasn’t a dream at all when I saw the slip in my pocket the next day. Ibuprofen seemed to counter the fever, but I was right around 101 when I didn’t take it (for three days…) Wednesday was about all I could take and finally went to see a doctor. I was pretty surprised when the doctor entered and he didn’t wash his hands. He introduced himself, we shook hands (and he got my cold germs on his), and after examining me he gave me some instructions. I should take 4×200 mg Ibuprofen plus 3xAdvil Advanced Relief twice a day (if that sounds like a lot of drugs in one day, you’re probably right…) He also said I’ll be getting worse the next couple of days, and the end of the weekend I should be starting to feel better. Well, I did up the amount of Ibuprofen to two pills at a time, instead of one, but I didn’t really feel like taking over a dozen pills in one day (and I did start feeling better on Thursday =) ) The doctor also failed to wash his hands after we were done (wonder how many other people are going to get sick now…) Probably won’t be seeing this guy again… Susan took care of me, and in turn she ended up catching the cold. So this last weekend I ended up taking care of my wifey (and she says I’m cranky when I’m sick…) We didn’t do a whole lot this weekend and Sunday was pretty much watching a lame-o “scary” movie marathon (though entertaining…) I actually did some cleaning yesterday, and plan to get my side of the computer room looking good soon. We finally got some groceries last night, we didn’t have a lot of food in the fridge (or cupboards for that matter) last week.

As for the job hunt, I got a call back from a hiring company for Delphi, apparently the amount of money they offered to Delphi was too much (but I’m worth it 😉 ). I also got a callback from Daimler-Chrysler, but I haven’t gotten back to them yet. I’m not really interested in working in the automobile industry… As for my current job, it has actually been kind of interesting these past couple weeks. I’ve been down in the simulation lab running, on actually CAN machines (70’s computerish clunky things), a program for our dryer/scrubber system. It’s been pretty cool, I think I’ve become an expert on loading a program now (only had to do it about 40 or 50 times…) Maybe I’ll become a programmer in the future, but until then, I’m stuck writing boring word documents all day long…
