I'm missing out on so much being sick!!!

I've tried to up load up a video image. Surprise,surprise it won't do it.

I fell asleep at 6.30 last night, I thought I would just have a quick nap for 20 or so min.
Three hours later... My cousin called and we talked for awhile.
I couldn't get back to sleep till 3.30!
I woke up early.
8am on a Sunday!

I feel like having a shower,washing my hair cleaning my room and giving everything a real clean.
Not going to happen, I'm finding it hard to comprehend the effort it would take just to go and shower!
Oh well, I hope I feel a bit better by tomorrow...

I did something so - well.
Ok here's the thing.
The other night I walked out of the office Didn't lock the door! Didn't turn off the lights and didn't divert the phones.
I found out the next morning when one of the Assistants told me.
I got spoken to about it.
What could I say???
I wasn't the last one out the door?! I diverted the phones but it was on the wrong line??!
See in hairdressing it's a team thing. You help each other out. The floor needs to be swept, you sweep it.
Bowels in the sink? You clean them.
Are you running late? I'm free I'll do this.
We all use to walk out together and three people would say is the door locked, lights off, hot water off, kettle off. We use to stand there and all do a quick verbal check and who ever did it would say yes.
Last one out would lock the door.
So the manager says "What happened?"
Do I pass the buck and say well, you were the last one out?
You were on line two when I dirverted the phones? You were still on the phone so I figured you would re dirvert them when you got off??
you were the last one out you should of turned off the lights? If I had turned them off it would be dark and she was still on the phone???
What do I say? Nothing.
"Look, I know. It's inexcusable, I feel really bad, I don't know what else to say.
It won't happen again."
Two days later I'm told y my mum and other hairdresser co workers - "That's grounds for instant dismissal."
I felt bad. Nothing was taken (Thank God) but I wonder if that did run through her head.
I don't like to pass the buck. If there's something to be done you do it, if it wasn't done it doesn't matter who's "fault" it is, if there's a problem and you see it - fix it. Don't ask questions. Questions don't fix things.
In an office - well this one, It's me and them.
I don't even know when people are in the building!
I walk in and say good morning to who ever's there usually one maybe two people. They reply that's ok, but then the others just walk in to my office check the message book which is right next to me and it's like I may as well be invisible!
Nothing! No Hi, Morning - nothing!
So I was told that the door, lights and phones are my job.
I kinda thought, so that's the team and I am the receptionist. I have my work and they have their's.
How am I going to go tomorrow? I've been coughing and spluttering and now my voice is almost gone.
It's real husky and breaks off mid sentence!
I'll just keep plodding along and doing my thing.

I think these people would be nice out of work and really quite nice people.
The accountant is really nice but she's on holidays for three weeks.

Moving on to nicer things.

Last night at three am I got out Josh and played. It's nice not to be able to see where your fingers are on the freats and still be able to play and make a few nice tunes.

I'm going out and playing more now.
It's so relaxing.
