I have a slight fever. 99.4 to be exact. I am waiting for my next assignment. The fever is just enough to make me feel muzzy and goofy. Add to that, that I'm also hungry (its 11:45) and you have a slightly giddy, muzzy and three steps behind the curve worker on your hands.
I've been going through a binder, checking for missing forms and at the same time singing Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. I don't know why that song came into my mind, but that's the one I’m singing. Oh yeah, it’s because I was checking my work twice…
I should be at home probably but I want my $74.39 (before taxes) that I will earn today. If I was at home I would be staring at all the things I wanted to do that I didn't feel like doing, and being twice depressed (sick and annoyed). AND I wouldn't get my $74.39 (before taxes) either. So I might as well stay here and look at a bunch stuff I don't want to do and don't feel like doing but at least they'll give me the $74.39 (before taxes) for showing up. Even in my practically good for nothing state.
I've decided that my goal for the day is to be the dreamy, wistful, goofy, pleasant person walking through the halls. Greeting people with a vague and pleasant smile upon my face. Hey pump me full of enough aspirin and I could schlepp through a day with a cold.
I have been using some of my time trying to decide what I'll do with my $74.39 (before taxes). Because I think I should get something special for showing up today, instead of wimping out and staying home. So I'm officially giving myself permission to spend today's salary on something frivolous. Knowing me it will take quite a while to "get frivolous". But when I do, I will make sure that I have put my $74.39 (before taxes) in a safe place.
I think I’ll go to lunch. And take some aspirin.
