Being Sick basically sucks.

So from a week ago last Saturday until last Friday I was sick. I don’t know what I had, but it basically sucked. It was some sort of virus and my throat was really swollen. I couldn’t talk, drink, or eat for several days and I had a temperature that ranged from 95 to 101. So it was not much fun. I didn’t really do much all week. I ended up working from home and staying out of the office except for Friday.

At one point I even tried going to the doctor. This as always was just a waste of money. I don’t know why they spend so many years in school; I always get the same diagnosis from every doctor. You have a virus and there is nothing we can do about it. Drink plenty of fluids and Tylenol if it doesn’t go away in a week or gets worse call us. What a waste of $23 bucks. That’s right what a waste of a $20 co-pay and $3 in parking money.

But I feel much better now and even took part in a networking event Friday night. It was fun. We went to a place in Northeast called Let’s Cook. The name basically gives away then idea. They set you up with some host chefs and all the supplies and you group drinks wine and beer while cooking you own dinner. It was fun my networking group includes partners, senior managers, managers, consultants, analyst, and an admin. The admin seemed to know everything that was going on in the company and we heard some really funny stories about some different partners. It was a lot of fun. I made Key Lime Pie, but we also had shrimp appetizers, spicy chicken kabobs, cuz cuz, salad, and some bread. Someone from the group made everything except the bread.
