The Flu: Your Guide to Quality Boredom

I guess if you’re going to do anything, you need to commit. Day 4 with flu, Day 3 off work. I’d be stressing about what’s piling up on my desk, except I feel too lousy to do that. It wouldn’t be so bad if I could do anything worthwhile. Yeah. Boohoohoo, me.

To top all that off, the union sends news that we have a bill in the statehouse about eroding our bargaining rights. We aren’t where Wisconsin is, but Governor Brandstad and the House of Reps are making a start. Why we gave the best years of our career life to Iowa is not a question you should ponder when you’re this sick.

On the plus side, I’ve read Donald Maass’s The Career Novelist. I planned some more for the Finland/Norway trip yesterday during the period before the relapse. I thought I was gonna break outta here today, but the guards got wise.

So, let’s see what you’re doing. Gotta be more interesting what I’m doing.
