bleh… last night i couldn’t fall asleep since i was feeling pretty nauseous, and it took me ages to finally fall asleep. i think i woke up a few times in the middle of the night too. needless to say, i’m still not feeling very well.

so i decided to call in for a sick day.

but then i remembered how i was working on an escalation on friday; i got all of the price plans changed as necessary, but i hadn’t yet sent an email back to the sales rep and customer to tell them that their plans have been changed because i still needed to rework some of the mobile numbers that were being charged incorrectly. so i figured i’d try to make it in to work, take care of this rework, and if i was still not feeling well then i’d take a half-day off.

turns out that there’s some big incident up at the intersection of briggs chaney road and route 29 (there’s seven traffic lights between the apartment and my work — one never stops me, another almost never stops me, and it’s a mixed bag between the remaining five — and this is only traffic light #3). looked like a handful of police cars and some sort of police van was blocking the way. traffic was backed up a third of a mile, even to a point before i’d reach traffic light #1! since i’d have to call in to say that i’d be late anyway, i called in and just requested the whole day off.

and i still don’t feel very well. blehh.
