Coming Into Work: The Epic Struggle
by shaun on October 23, 2008
This morning was one of those mornings where the only happiness I had was when my eyes were closed and I was sleeping. A large contributor to that was the fact that I had a splitting headache, and still do 4 hours later. I thought it was from lack of coffee but even after having my usual grande caramel macchiato from “da bucks” it’s still there. The scene in my bed this morning is something like that of Cameron in Ferris Bueller’s day off.

The morning went something like this:
6:00 AM: Alarm didn’t go off since it was on mute. (I use my old LG V phone for my alarm clock)
8:34 AM: I woke up expecting it to be 6AM, but it was not. I had planned on running this morning, looks like I got out of that easily! Oh god my head hurts, work won’t need me until 10, I’ll sleep a little more.
9:21 AM: I woke up and the headache was worse.
10:14 AM: Ok I need to get out of bed and to work or email in sick. What should I do? Fall asleep? Ok good call.
10:34 AM: Ok I’m getting out of bed and going to work.
10:47 AM: Oh Starbucks coffee, please make this headache go away. Um I just got an 11AM meeting request and I’m a good 25min away from work, nice.
11:18 AM: Made it to the meeting late but hey, I made it. I answered some questions, saved the day and went back to my cube with my headache still with me making me wish I stayed home.
