Well...today I got sent home early because I am sick to the point where my voice is the sort used by dried-up revenants as they try to coax your curious souls into the shadows. My throat actually feels like it's swelling and making it hard to breathe, but I really hope that's my imagination and I will feel better tomorrow.
I did manage to accomplish two things during my four hours of work though--one that should have been taken care of in my absence and wasn't, and another that was taken care of...but apparently something happened and we can't trust my counterpart to do her job anymore...apparently she's been causing trouble and I just didn't know? Bad news for me any way I look at it. Then went home and cleaned some...I now have almost all my posters up and made homes for all my books.
And then I took a nap that was extremely difficult to wake up from.
Been doing laundry and reading since dinner. Finished the Poetic Edda and, as boring as it was, I'm glad I read the Nibelungenlied...the Norse hero myths make a lot more sense now. My last bit of laundry should be ready to dry soon, and then I will be able to read some of this ridiculous book that arrived in the mail today, and which I am duly ashamed to be so excited about...but we'll see how it turns out. I needed something ridiculous to balance out all this mythological translation.*pause*
You know, I had an enjoyable vacation, and even feel like I can eat and sleep normally again (fingers crossed on sleeping though, since my last night out of town I woke up when it was still dark out and had to really try to even doze off), but I think that's going to be hard to maintain after what all I gleaned during that four hours today.
Must think more on that.
A manager spot is open again.Must think more on that as well.
