Sniffle. 12/16/2004
I’m just getting off a case of the flu. Mucus and phelgm for the asking, leaking brains, aching joints, the works. I have found my resistance to viral attacks decreasing as I pile on the years. Not so long ago I would have just shrugged this cold off without any effort or a second thought. Now it involves visits to the doctor, anti-histamines, a reluctance to crawl out from under the blankets and general lethargy.
Having now gone into the first week of my vacation, I have received a total of 28 calls from various people at work, along with about 60 e-mails, and 4 faxes. All requiring my attention, in varying degrees of importance. It’s partly my fault, because I was unsure when my leave was supposed to begin, and being told last Monday that my leave was to begin on the day, meant that I did not perform a proper handover of my duties.
Compounded to this is the fact that my replacement was also Smiffy’s replacement, and we have a general cause for chaos. Also non-performance of anything on site. The C.S.S.D is the last major department that has to be installed on the facility, and the only person in the entire project with any in depth knowledge, i.e., me, is on leave. We’ll have fun in a couple of weeks.
