Tonsillitis

Tonsillitis

It turned out that I have tonsillitis! And it's a very serious one.

My throat hurt so bad that I didn't think it was a usual flu anymore, so I went to a hospital to have an E.N.T. doctor to check it out. He was very surprised to find out my tonsillitis was at a very bad stage, and could wait 'til now to see him. I was like, "yeah, I know, I am proud that I could suffer so much pain. Not!"

I was unconscious, for sleeping all day on Monday, so of course I didn't think it was that bad. I was more worried about my fever.

Today I was very conscious, since I was working, so I realized how bad my throat was.

Anyway, the doctor told me I had to revisit him two days later. And, he gave me an injection! When was the last time I had a injection?

God! My arm hurt from the injection. And it still hurts a little bit now.

Cannot believe how much medicine, including antibiotics, I need to take now. The doctor said it'd take a week for my throat to recover. One Week!?

It was just a very simple flu in the beginning. The only mistake I made was picking the wrong doctor, a charlatan. I will NEVER see him again, and I'm going to spread out the word about what a fraud he is. I hate him. Go to hell, charlatan!

I had a fever!

My throats has been hurt since last Friday. It's a sign telling me that I got a flu, again. I always get a flu when the air temperature change dramatically, so that's twice in a year, winter/spring and fall/winter. I get used to it.

So I didn't really pay much attention to it. Just went to see a doctor Saturday night. Took some drugs.

Then, I had a body temperature of 38.7 degree Celsius Sunday night! I've not had a fever for a very long time, which means, I haven't been this sick for a long time. I panicked.

Anyway, went to see the doctor again this morning. How I spent today? Eating, taking drugs, and sleeping are pretty much I've done today. God, my head was heavy when I had a fever.

I sweated during sleep. Was that normal?

What is it with stupid people doing inconsiderate things?

Remember, our working shift starts at 9:00 am.

If you want me to attend a meeting at 8:30 am, shouldn't you at least check with me if it is okay? Just for the sake of politeness and respectfulness, shouldn't you ask me if I could come in earlier?

And by the way, I don't come in at work on time often.

So I guess you'll just have to start the meeting without me for half an hour.

What is it with inconsiderate people doing disrespectful things?

15-Minute Fire Drill

There was a fire drill this afternoon. Nobody informed me of it, so I didn't know what to do during the drill. I saw everybody going out of the building, and followed them.

It was windy!! We were supposed to stay in our own group, but no one told me which group I should be in, so I stood there like a fool. After a while, I found our own group and got in, so the drill could be over.

I didn't realized the number of people at this site. It was some kind of a view. By the way, I saw for the first time people from fabrication labs wearing their working suits.

Hourglass

I've discovered a tool to record my daily working activities. It's called Hourgalss, written in Java.

Not bad. I just need to click start and stop, and it'd produce a timecard for me. I'll just need to convert it into a time sheet to turn in.

The down side is that I won't remember what I've done for this project. Coz there is no place for me to write down my thoughts.

What I did before, writing down project names, start and end time, and personal thoughts, in a text file. Now I don't have that kind of information with Hourglass. Therefore, I don't post my worklog here anymore.

Reading project names and time lines is not interesting.
