Humanos... well, it's been a big week!

I chucked a sickie on Thursday, and suddenly my whole life improved (temporarily)! I became the proud owner of one UK working visa, also the proud owner of one flight to the UK (via Hong Kong), i managed to sort myself some accomodation in London when i first arrive, and have set myself up with one job interview that i rather would like (though probably wont get). All this, after just one sickie! Huzzah!

Then, in typical true Mars form... the universe has once again smite me, and i have been struck down by revolting sickness ALL WEEKEND. Started on friday night and it got so bad i had to go home only 4 beers into proceedings... and that was it for me, the rest has been history. The weird part about the whole scenario is that i took what were supposed to be the 'night' cold and flu tablet things which i thought were supposed to make me drowsy...? Well, it's now 1.29am and i'm wide awake and chipper as they come. HUH?

Firstly, i'm rarely wide awake. Full stop, really... even in the middle of the day i could usually sleep, or at the very least doze. And i'm almost never chipper. Something's very wrong here...

You don't want that job. Trust me. You want MY JOB. We are cooler and less uptight. And my boss is a booze hound...

Pffft. London? That's so passe.

You should work in Morocco or somewhere differenter... but that said, that's a big acheivingness for one sick day. You rock the world of sickdays. I think you were lucky to be sick on the weekend, it means you can still go to work as per normal today. Lucky.

i do want that job, OMel... particularly in light of it being the best option so far and i'd rather do that than work in a pub or office. you must admit it'd be better than that? your mob must be an elite crew, cause they dunt want me!!

and not london as such, adz (realise it's so passe)... the plan was actually for manchester. i'm just landing in london first. but you're right, i do rock the sickday. so much so, i'm having another one today! woot!!

Hmmm, you don't sound very chipper at being chipper. Most unchipper, in fact.

Mars is an aussie legend and it's the aussie tradition to chuck sickies to enjoy this land of ours. Leave her alone. She's going to have to work like a crazy once she rocks that Manchester.

i had a mild addiction to those cold & flu tablets in my 'crazy' university days. You should try the 'day' ones, you can't feel anything from the brain down.
