Office Space

For the last few days I have been a walking cesspool of contagious disease. Okay, maybe that's a bit dramatic. I have a cold. But it is a very bad cold and has caused me to miss work for 2.5 days while I slip in and out of consciousness. I guess that's what comes from working in places like an office building...or a school...or I guess just being alive. The problem with colds in an office like mine is that they turn into a vicious cycle. One person gets a cold, then another person gets one, and so on and so forth until it finally gets back to the person who started it. I guess we can't really know who started it because this cycle has been going since the office existed. Or at least since I existed in the office. Regardless, I have been laying in bed watching movies for awhile, which is good since I have not done that in awhile. So I'm catching up. I like movies. I will even watch a bad movie if it has a good soundtrack. Right now I am watching "Lord of the Rings" which has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. I wish I had a soundtrack like that. Of course, I also wish I could speak Elvish and were a wizard. I'm guessing none of those things are going to happen. A girl can dream, though. I guess that's part of what movies do...help us live vicariously through fictitious, or even real, characters. We all need a break from reality sometimes...if we don't take it I think we'd be miserable. I usually get my reality breaks from books. As aforementioned, however, I have not been able to stay awake long enough to read a book so I have chosen movies this time. I could probably suck it up and go to work and suffer through the day, but I figure...my body is telling me it's time for a break, so I'm going to take advantage of it. However, as you may or may not be able to tell, I'm getting kind of antsy. But I'll spare you more babbling and go back to watching my movies.
