You may find this difficult to believe, but lying in bed all day, watching episodes of 30 Rock and taking antibiotics has seriously lost its allure. With some pretty big (and not particularly welcome) news drifting in from the office via e-mail, I’m starting to feel weirdly disconnected from my life. There’s never a good time to be unexpectedly out of the office for more than a week at a time, but now, at the beginning of the year and with so many changes underway, it’s particularly troublesome.
And though I’ve yet to shake this cough, and going back in right now would maybe just make me worse (if not also make other people sick), I can’t say I’m much enjoying this potentially costly (if only in vacation days) time off.
