home sick

Not to be confused with being homesick, I am at home....sick.

This is pretty much the most boring thing I've ever endured, which is saying a lot because... Well, it's saying a lot.

To keep myself entertained I have watched the follwing:
1. Pride and Prejudice x 2
2. The Notebook - awful
3. Message in a Bottle - not very good acting
4. Sabrina
5. What Lies Beneath
6. Mrs. Winterbourne - Ricky Lake?
7. 2 episodes of Jon and Kate
8. Too many episodes to count of the Nanny
9. Dan in Real Life
10. the Cosby show
11. etc...

I started writing notes of what people should know upon my death. My bucket list of what includes things like petting a penguin, reading every book in my house, acquiring an art skill, and holding a monkey.

I played 105 games of Solitaire on the computer. I've won one round making my winning statistic 0%. I've played Cake Mania on nintendo DS. I'm better at that game than Solitaire, so far my sales are profitable.

My fever has stayed pretty consistant but something new today is I've lost the color in my face and my legs turned into jello. To medicate myself I've been drinking lots of water, taking ibuprofen, and last night I took 2, count them 2, tylenol pm's. After the tylenol I lasted about 3 minutes then I was asleep for 12 hours.

All in all this is fabulous. I'm at home bored out of my mind while my work piles up on my desk. I'm never behind on my work, until now. I'd like to thank, in an unblaming way, all of my co-workers who came to work with fevers, body aches, and awful colds. I couldn't be less bitter.

To end on a positive note, my mom and dad have been very helpful. They've delivered my exact requests of a thermometer, a banana, a cream soda, and chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce. They've even done it in more than one trip. Today my dad has put himself on retainer to deliver whatever else I think of.

I guess being home sick could be worse.

p.s. My new cute blog was created by Lyndsay at http://www.beautifymyblog.com/ and set-up by Anne

Personal Profile System

My roommate made me take a personality test after I told her I was accused of having no feelings. Twice. This week.

Oh man, this company has my number.

Overuses
impatience; "win-lose" competition

Under pressure
becomes critical and fault-finding; resists participating with a team; may overstep boundaries

Fears
others will take advantage of them; slowness, especially in task activities; being a pushover

Would increase effectiveness through
explanation of their reasoning and consideration of other views and ideas about goals and solutions to problems; genuine concern for others; patience and humility

Result-Oriented people display self-confidence, which some may interpret as arrogance. Result-Oriented people tend to avoid constraining factors, such as direct controls, time-consuming details, and routine work. Because they are forceful and direct, they may have difficulties with others. Result-Oriented people are quick thinkers, and they are impatient and critical toward those who are not. They evaluate others on their ability to get results. In their uncompromising drive for results, they may appear blunt and uncaring.

I'm sorry everyone.

I'll let you in on my little secret...

I can't explain myself. I love it.

I was going to write a post about the little known facts about me but this is all I came up with. Like I said, I love it. Don't ask any questions.

Things to do on Your Birthday

1. Convince a waiter that you're under 12 so you can order from the child's menu.

2. If your family doesn't quite come through for you on the caramel brownies and ice cream you requested, scrounge for leftover cake and send your roommate to the store.

3. Star in a Snuggie fashion show.

4. Pick a fight with a unicorn. Hint: wear protective eyewear or the unicorn might win.
