Illness
I woke up this morning with either the beginnings of a raging head cold or the early symptoms of strep throat. Either way, it is AWESOME. I'm hoping it's just a cold that will go away soon, since I'm going to Oregon with my mom this weekend, and then to San Francisco the next week. Plus tomorrow night I'm supposed to go see Snakes on a Plane with Zack (because it's motherfucking SNAKES on a motherfucking PLANE, and how can it be bad?) (Don't answer that.) I'm going to try and nurse myself the best way I know how: lots of fluids, catch up on some sleep, and watch crappy television (on deck this afternoon: the Lifetime Original Movie staring Fred Savage as a high school wrestler/abusive boyfriend.)
Work has, strangely, not been that bad. I got permission from my supervisor to write the procedure binder for my office. I know, it sounds thrilling, but I actually get to use my major and, hey, at least I'm writing something. Of course, I still have to manage all my cases, so it truly isn't a work day unless I have one slightly feral child wreaking havoc in my office. I don't understand how some of my coworkers can love children so much after all that we encounter; I saw a three year-old girl punch her infant brother in the face, I just can't adhere to the Children are God's Butterfly Kisses bullshit.
