Sick
*ugh*
I hate being sick. I hate being not productive at all for the whole day. I hate the effect of drowsiness that the flu medication gave me. Here I am, typing this post, drowsily. Like someone who's high on drug. Wait… I AM on drug, prescriptively 
What do you normally do when you are sick? I mean, when you go to the doctor, and you are given medical certificate to skip work/school and stay at home, resting. But, is it rest you are actually getting? Or was it sleep that you are trying to catch, backdated from who-knows-when? Or was it some kind of reward for your hardwork at office/school, and you decided to fall sick and call off a day?I tried to be productive this morning. After getting my medication for flu, fever and sore throat, I logged on into my office network and trying to get some work done. I managed to get the reporting slides out for my manager to present, managed to arrange my guys to handle some escalation cases, set out-of-office so that none of the sales buggers will come bugging me – when the effects of the medication struck me, hard on my head. I was about to woke up to refill my then-empty glass when I felt that the world was spinning. I thought it was the effects of my new glasses (yep, just got myself fitted with new glasses – more on that soon), but then, even when I removed my glasses the world is still spinning. Then, only that I remembered the fact that the doctor told me that the flu medication is gonna make me drowsy. No wonder I slept so soundly last night after taking the medication.
I decided to fight the drowsiness by drinking water. Loads of them, to make me stay clear and focus on my work. Bad idea: The drowsiness was still there, and I need to visit the loo more often – making me more drowsy on each trip. I decided to call it off, and sleep. A very good one indeed – perhaps the medication and drowsiness helps here.
When i woke up for dinner, the drowsiness is not there. Good, so I thought. After having dinner, I have to take the medication again, and now, here I am, feeling drowsy while typing this out. If not for this drowsiness, i might have done 3 tags tagged by 3 different people. I guessed i have to put that aside for the weekend. At least I have something to yak about during the weekend….
