While I’m not paying attention….

Posted in ridiculousness, Work on January 24, 2005| Leave a Comment »

At this point I am lost in class. So I am going to keep on not paying attention. I have been thinking about what it will be like if I actually one day get to be an attorney. One of the interesting things about the possibility of being an attorney is that I might one day have a secretary. The idea of having a secretary is one that is the category of "too good to be true." I don’t know why I feel like this, but I really can’t imagine having a secretary. Or I can, but it just seems crazy. While I am thinking about it – these are the things that I would love to have some else do for me:

1.  Follow me around and pick up all the stuff I drop. 
2. Keep track of where the stuff I need is locates. That is the greatest thing about my laptop – I can always find things in the computer. I have a little more difficult of a time with real, hard copies of things.
3. Make sure I am in the right place at the right time. Today was the first Monday of the semester, and true to form I went to the wrong classroom. I was setting stuff up, and all these first years were coming in the door, and I was really confused, and then I realized my mistake.
4.  Remind me of things that I need to do. 
5. Make lists for me. I will follow a list, but I can’t make my own and I will probably lose it, so it would be great if someone else had a copy of it and could help me out.
6.  Make cover letters.  I hate cover letters.
7. Actually, it would be great if they could take care of all things that required a certain format, I could give them the information and they could format it for me. I’m not real good with formatting details. Actually, technical details altogether escape me. Other details I can handle. Like details in movies and real life. Visual details. Details regarding the substance of things. Otherwise, I’m at a loss.
8. I would love it if someone would bring me lunch everyday. This would be nice. Or at least call and order it for me. Deciding what I am going to eat next and how I am going to get it during the day is not fun as far as I am concerned.
9.  Take care of mailing things – making sure things are addressed correctly and stamped.
10. And last but not least, I would like to have a secretary that enjoyed being around me, and did all of these things because they liked me and not just because I was paying them. I would like it to be someone that I enjoyed being around and someone for which I had a mutual appreciation and respect. Yes, that would be nice.

Cough, Sniff, sneeze….deep breath….

Posted in Health on January 24, 2005| Leave a Comment »

I have lost my voice. Sometime over the weekend it ran away and I haven’t gotten it back yet. I don’t know if this happens because all of last week I had a terrible cough, and that my coughing caused my voice to fail through overuse, or if sometimes colds take out your voice regardless. Because even though I coughed all of last week, my voice went out on me in about an hour. I went from being the girl with a bit of a cough who was a tad bit horse, to not being able to complete sentences in the time it took me drink a beer on Saturday. Now, had I known where this cold was going, I probably wouldn’t have been drinking. But I didn’t, and I was.

When I woke up this morning I wanted to believe that it wasn’t that I feel really bad, it was just that I lost my voice. But the longer I am awake, the less I believe this to be true. I slept for ten hours last night and I think this is what helped me feel okay this morning. But I slept well because when I couldn’t stop coughing once I laid down last night (you know how that works, you have your cough under control until you lay flat, and then you think you are going to die) so I took a tylenol 3 – the one with codeine in it. I knew I needed the sleep (I stayed up too late Saturday night – lost voice and all), and without it I might not be in class this morning. But Allison said she was worried about me because I didn’t look like I felt well. I must be getting sick. I know I am hypochondriac, but I think I might actually be sick this time.

I have three classes this morning. I told the first teacher that I couldn’t talk so he wouldn’t call on me. I didn’t tell the next teacher because he is the teacher that called on me last week and I didn’t think he would call on me two days in a row, regardless of whether or not I could talk. But of course, he did call on me. Which is fine, I wish he would call on me all the time, because it would keep me focused and I would be more prepared. But it didn’t change the fact that I can’t talk. So I had to tell him the best I could that I couldn’t talk. Well, I can talk for about 2/3 of a sentence, and then I lose it. But I did go to the trouble to tell my third teacher that I wasn’t prepared, just be on the safe side.

Now I am starting to fade. So I’m not paying good attention. I think it might just be one of those weeks. One of those sick weeks. Good thing I’m a fighter. I need to go buy some vitamins.
