I've spent the past 2 days at home on MC (Medical Certificate), feeling lousy and out of sorts. I'm down with flu and have got a particularly bad sorethroat and a fever that comes and goes when it wants to. My right nostril is being a bit funny and gets all blocked up when it deems fit and my head feels like it's had the brain hoovered out and put back in again by a right-handed blind man with a pair of tongs in his left hand. Basically, I'm not feeling too hot right now.
I can't wait to get well again and I'm hoping that this happens overnight because I have a shed-load of work waiting for me when I return to the office tomorrow. It's a bit of a bummer but such is working life in The Pore, it never ends! I was just thinking today that if I'd put in the same amount of work in uni, I would probably have earned myself a first!! Not that I'm unhappy with the 2:1, hell no. It's just that I never really knew that I was capable of working this hard....of course, my health has suffered. Oh, if only I could find a job that landed me in "The Happy Middle Ground"; the sort that allowed me to work hard, gave me adequate satisfaction and didn't destroy my health and social life. Then again, I suppose I ought to be happy just to have a job! This time last year, I was still getting used to being back here (still am to a large extent) and was worrying about the future and whether I'd ever be able to find a job here. I'm glad I've had the good fortune to work on a pretty big project for my first job (Singapore's largest ever event, in terms of the sheer scale and complexity involved) which turned out to be a success but my health is not in a good place right now and it looks like it's up to me to take concerted steps to turn things around!
On a different note, I got news from my dear friend, Alasdair, that he'd finally recovered a piece of vinyl that I'd given to him ages ago, "The Youngsters - Smile". I am most excited that he's found it and will soon be including it in one of the long overdue mixes he's promised me for yonks! This song means the world to me, especially the (Smirky Remix), a mix that I haven't been able to find anywhere else, online or otherwise. In fact, come to think about it, I think this was a white label, which makes it all the more rarer! Aha, now that I've informed the entire world about this, Ali, you have no reason to procrastinate!! Hahahaha....nah, I kid, this boy will deliver in his own inimitable way, as he always does!
Right, best to start thinking about hitting the ol' sack. I need a good night's rest if I am to ever get better. Peas Oot.
