h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, they must have bitten me or something, because I felt really dreadful by the time I got to w*rk this morning. I'm home now, trying to keep myself together until the first available doctor's appointment at 10am tomorrow. It's still the residue of that ing migraine. I'm getting seriously concerned.

mmmm doesn't sound too good, you might have a virus or something

have plenty to drink (non alcohol) an curl up in bed

My rational side says it's probably a virus. My less rational side says there's a problem with my antidepressants. My East European fatalistic side says it's probably a brain tumour. My optimistic side says that if that's the case, at least I won't have to bother about increasing my superannuation contributions.

The rest of me says I'm thinking about it far too much.

I have a stock of non-alcoholic fluids in the fridge, and I'll have a good night's sleep. Right now, my brain's restless so I'm giving it a run here.

It could be just the stress of hating your job, I know most days I get really wound up before going to the mill, I end up feeling really ill,headache and nausea, it was worse at the beginning of the season, now it is just once or twice a week

stress combined with anti deps could be a bad mix

I should be in bed and I will go soon I have had about 4 hours so far, but woke up earlyier with a rumbly belly mmmmmmmmmmmmmm fruit bread toast and promite and a yum, I wake up wanting the strangest of things

Promite is strange, yes.

Some days I cope better with the job - but I need to be in good physical health before I can make that adjustment.

Oh how I wish I'd been able to get to the today...

I hate that about when you really need to see them you can't get in, when you don't really need to see them(just to get a script refill) you can get in straight away

I'm off to bed again, as far as I know the mill is down so it should, should, should, be an alright night


sleep well and I hope all goes well for you tomorrow

And the same to you. I hope the mill's down...

The mill was down an probably will be till fri/sat

but still got a crappy job, had to clear the filter feed lines as someone(ie the village idiot) close the feed valve an left the lines full of mud, I got covered in smelly sandy mud

how are you this morning, feeling any better?

When did Dubya start working in a sugar mill in Queensland?

I'm feeling perfectly dreadful, and the is at 10am. I might log off soon, head into town, and just mooch about for a while to see if I can distract myself somehow.

I only had to reread it twice to get it too!!!!!!

window shopping, I quite enjoy it sometimes, hope it all goes well for you.........

I'm off now - not sure when I'll be back...

mate' I'll be around later, I'm about to go to bad anyway, got things to do this arvy, so I want a bit of a nap now

'I'm about to go to bad'... That's either a typo, or a very entertaining way to spend an afternoon.

I have the rest of the week off w*rk, along with adjusted medication, the certain knowledge that I haven't suffered any neurological trouble, and a bit of medical gossip about a definite rise in the number of new cases of depression since the Federal election.

Now, what shall I do between now and Monday? Any suggestions?

oh you lucky, lucky thing

rest, eat, drink, relax, bubble baths, read,shop, potter(around the house), , you will need a holiday to get over your days off

I will have a loverly boring shift tonight, it is raining again, and a bit of a storm out to the southwest, is making things a bit noisy, more storms are expected later, and a hail warning is out, I won't waste a sickie by not going in

I'm only up cos I got a friend to take me to the mill to pick up some bags of sugar, every year we get to get some sugar cheap, I don't get it for me but I take orders for friends, I will go back to bed soon, at least it is cool an dark

Cheap sugar! Well at least you get some perks from the job. I can't say I'd be too bothered with it - I have a 500g tub of the stuff in the cupboard, where it's sat for about 18 months undisturbed - so I'd be distributing it to other people too.

Here's my plans for the rest of the week:

Wednesday - sleep in, clean the kitchen, laze about.

Thursday - sleep in, raid the second-hand bookshops in Fyshwick, laze about.

Friday - rest day. Laze about only.

Does that sound reasonable?

oooooooooooo sounds good, don't do to much lazing about, it can be very hard work, and we don't want to wear you now, do we?

I'm off to

Don't forget to take plenty of an oh, an some too

Sleep well... I'll save a for you.

mmmmmmmmmm

It is still raining here at this rate I'll get the start up next week

had about 4" in four days..... running out of things to clean at work..............

what are you doing up so early?, thought you would be sleepin in>

how you feelin this morn

oh an got a new pikky in azs' album, finally got a chance to get one of me at w**k in hell.............

I saw the new photo... Nice hat!

I'm not sure what I'm doing out of bed - something to do with sunrise before 5:30, probably. I have a slight headache, but it's not too bad. It'll go soon.

I really must clean the kitchen today. I'm telling myself that I'll start as soon as I've cleared the backlog here. I wonder if that's a lie.

Kithch smitchen....back log is more important, the kitchen will always be there, blog will just grow

just off to eat brekky (snack quiche and some shoestring chips, very hungry this morn was actually quite busy last night got through a lot of jobs, the shift boss was really surprised, and got the process super doing some jobs (well getting someone else to do them) today since we will be down for a few more days yet

dontcha just love the hat, it suits me better than the old yellow ones

back later, don't work toooo hard
