Great.
Absolutely effing marvellous.
It would appear that I’m developing a bout of Acute viral rhinopharyngitis. Don’t get too worried though, it’s just the common cold (thanks Wikipedia).
I mean there’s enough of it going around at work at the moment, I can think of at least two people who are recovering from one and another who has just started. It’s just one of those things. No matter how careful you are to wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, sneeze etc, the bloody thing just keeps on going.
Felt completely out of it today. Started with a headache (due to the radiator in the bedroom being on half the night – a problem I’ve now solved with the help of the handy twisty thing at the end), took some ibuprofen which solved that bit. A few hours later I was feeling completely whacked and out of it at the same time. My vision seemed weird and I couldn’t walk in a straight line. I think this particular cold is targeting my ears and balance system. Excellent, as if I wasn’t impaired enough where that was concerned (only one working eardrum, tumor when I was three in my left ear, eardum and three hearing bones removed).
I hate the snotty nose part of a cold. That stage where all it does is produce and produce and produce. Once it’s stopped and you start getting better and you’ve just got the cough to take care of, I can handle that bit. I just hate having a fuzzy head and a runny nose.
Just in time for the weekend, at least I can rest up with no plans (so far) made, xbox and chilling out are on the menu. Thank god my slanket arrived a few weeks ago :p
My new 1TB hard disk drives arrive tomorrow, that’s my evening sorted. I’ve got to get the data off the old drives, install the new ones, reinstall windows on one of the slightly larger drives, move allsorts around, blah. It’ll probably take me most of tomorrow night if not part of Saturday too depending on how quick the hard disk transfer rate is from the USB sata kit I have.
I might be as well opening her up and plugging in direct to the motherboard, at least that way the data transfer will be quicker.
Might also reinstall Vista on the laptop (yes, yes, third reinstall in as many months). Sick of Windows 7. Especially sick of IE8. Windows 7 isn’t all that much different to Vista, it’s annoying that iTunes doesn’t auto start when I connect my iphone and it’s annoying that I have to use Chrome and Firefox because MS won’t let Beta users have access to IE8 RC1.
Chrome is pretty nice, it just doesn’t work with a few sites, I have to use firefox for them. The ones where neither work, I have to (try) to use IE8.
Going to take a couple of night nurse tablets and call it a night, hopefully I won’t feel too bad in the morning. I hope my body behaves itself and doesn’t start doing strange things in regards to weight/water retention between now and Saturday. Last thing I need when I feel crappy is to have a shitty weigh in.
One day left at work for the week, weekend is on the way. Yay.
