Back on the Saddle Again

So the weekend was spent coughing and hacking, and as it turned out, my boss at work sent me home yesterday because she didn't want everyone around me to get sick as well. Although I was feeling rather horrible, I was actually quite productive during my "day off". Got the ROC docs sent out AND finished doing laundry.

It was a beautiful day outside it has to be said, but I spent most of the day sleeping and watching some Netflix.

After a day of sleeping and relaxing, I came back to work today and feeling quite a bit better thankfully, just in time for a few projects. I plan on buying some Vitamin C and Advil cold and sinus after work as to keep off this cold (which Priyam has had on and off for what seems like a month). I certainly don't want that...

You Better Not

So just over a week or so now, I've been fighting a bit of a cold/flu thing and it just started to kick me in the behind. Yesterday I needed a mid afternoon nap when I got home from work and today I woke up feeling horrible. Fingers crossed it won't ruin the weekend. 

Drab Weekend

I had to work all Saturday and today have not been feeling well. Part head cold, part heat exhaustion. So, needless to say, it was a drab weekend.

On a lighter note, I took Priyam summer clothes shopping and she is mucho happy. :-)

Do you want to stay at.....HOJO?

So, today is my first day of work at my new position, which marketing wise calls it self HoJo, or Howard Johnson as their Regional Marketing Manager for the Singhs, a pair of Punjabi business men who own 4 hotels, a sub shop, and a chain of Santa Fe liquior stores. From what I can gather from the few hours I've been here so far, they're kinda stingy with marketing money, or much money for that matter, when it comes to the hotel side, so I've already figured out the idea is to plug along as long as I can getting business for the hotel, and hopefully they'll give me marketing reign over their entire operation, where they are more willing to spend money then before.

The hotel industry is doing relatively poorly for a while now, so I suppose to makes sense about little marketing budget for a hotel. And it is relatively interesting that they have hired a marketing guy, considering their marketing investment thus far, but maybe they're realizing the error of their ways. Whatever the reason, its a decent salary and decent hours, so there isnt too much to complain about.

Today has been pretty straight forward, meeting the front desk associates, Jai and Vangey, and the support staff, learning how their operation works, etc. Pretty straight forward stuff. The only thing holding me back is this blasted flu-symptom crap that keeps coming back. Its pissing me off, cus I have a bunch of energy, then it slowly drains out, then I have a bunch more energy, which drains out again, its REALLY not cool.

Hopefully it'll go away soon, cus I don't want to be sick my whole first week. That is all for now

Oh, What a Night

So the last few days I've been feeling funky but last night it hit its peak when I started having hot and cold flashes and I took a hot shower and my head was still freezing cold. FEVER ALERT. So, as I've been taught to do, I put on a few layers in an attempt to sweat it out. Well after an odd sleep schedule, where I went to bed at about 9:30 and woke up every two hours all night until about 3 am, then had odd dreams about being a viking and other strange things, I finally awoke about 10 minutes ago feeling pretty good, thirsty as a dog, and wondering where I was.

Did I sleep well? Honestly,who knows.

But, I'm awake now, and we'll see how it goes today. First up: Watching the Notts County v. Machester City FA Cup match while the wife continues to sleep. I've no idea when she went to sleep but I know it was late.
