Mondayitis or ill

[chrisvenus]

I've been feeling awful all morning. I'm being really unable to concentrate and I'm getting occasional quite strong dizzy spells.

I also have a stomach that is feeling peculiar at times but I have a strong suspicion that this was just lack of breakfast.

As it is work has been going along OK but definitely none of my best stuff coming out. Fortunately its all mostly routine stuff so no real brain power needed.

I'm just trying to work out if I am actually ill or if it is just because I'm tired and its monday. I'd do an exciting poll as well if I had a paid account so you could all tell me whether you thought I was ill or not. You'll just have to pretend though I'm afraid.

Meh. Wanna go home. Or alternatively want something to distract my mind with.

Oh well, more work I suppose...

Eat some food & see what happens. Might fix dizziness as well as stomach. If half an hr - an hr after eating you still feel dizzy & rough, then *go home* & rest.

Also: are you drinking enough? In this weather, upwards of 4l a day is a Good Thing.

I started food about an hour ago. Stomach complained more after food. :) I think it is just sulking over lack of breakfast.

As for drinking, quite possibly not. I find there is a limit on how much I can drink though. I have water next to me all the time courtesy of our water cooler and the weather is quite nice in here (aircon) so I don't think I'm losing that much water while at work.

I do notice that my water glass is empty so I might set myself a challenge to get through at least one glass every 30 minutes until the end of the day. That might help the clock watching anyway. :)

Anyway, if I decide I'm ill and I go home then they stop paying me as much. If I stay at work and go really slow they pay me and then I have more work to do so they will keep me here longer. :)

Squash/cordial!: If water is too boring, keep a bottle of conc-something (preferably not sulphuric acid ;) on your desk to mix with the water.

Also you do apparently lose as much if not more liquid when in an air-con environment, because although it keeps you cooler, it's also less humid, so you parch.

Its not that water gets boring. Its that I physically can't drink huge amounts without feeling sick. :)

And can I just say "oooh... Adding water to conc acid!! fun!!" :)

And is parch a real word? I know what you mean but I did't know it was a real verb and things.

I don't know. It got grabbed on account of being understandable and me having word blindness on whatever the proper word probably is.
