So I went to our work party last night, which was held at the Olympic Skating Oval in West Valley. I had fun watching the professional speed skaters practice while the president droned on about challenges and goals. Watching Derek Parra was much more interesting. After dinner (Tex Mex fajitas) I went with most of my department members and learned how to curl. Yup, curling, with the stones and the brooms and all. It was pretty fun, although I totally stunk. I thought about trying the bungee thing, but by then I was feeling kinda queasy, and decided not to practice hurling in addition to the curling. So I watched Kate do it instead. She totally rocked– doing flips and all.
After the activities we had a raffle, and I broke tradition and actually won something: a Palm m100. Now, first of all, I already have a Palm which I don’t use. Second of all, mine’s an m500. m100’s are OLD, dude. WAY old. 2MB of memory. Wutevre. I traded it for Jenga, and I think I actually got the better end of the deal. One of my coworkers won a Nikon Coolpix 2000, though. Not too shabby there.
By the time we rode back to work, and I drove home, I was feeling pretty sick. Dizzy, stomach upset, etc. I laid down while I did my reading for class today, then laid down while we watched “Lost” which Kate had DVRed (will watch next week, is intriguing, plus it has Dom in it ), then went to bed, trying to keep my mind off my stomach, figuring that it was just the fast drive home that made me feel this way.
Woke up this morning (you were on my mind. . . oh. sorry), felt pretty good. Tired, but otherwise fine.
Then I got in the car to drive to work. Started feeling queasy again. Head started to hurt.
Now I’m sitting her at work feeling crummy. Must go to class, though. We’re getting details on our semester projects today, and I have an appointment with Dr. Walker after class.
Gah. At least I can crash after that.
