We made it back from Christmas holiday and travel, though not entirely unscathed. I am the proud owner of a double ear infection, a throat infection and about 10 days of antibiotics just for kicks to see what that'll do.
Actually, the antibiotics are helping immensely already, though not quite enough. I applied for, and was subsequently invited to interview for, a killer position that while short-term could actually change the trajectory of my career. However, getting on the plane while sick has left me essentially deaf and at one point I was also essentially mute but that's resolving quite nicely. That interview was supposed to be yesterday and I cancelled thinking that I'd show some improvement over the next days. In reality my hearing got worse to the point that I went back to the doctor. When I did, he first patronized me and then, in many more words, told me to suck it up for there is nothing to be done here.
It's a killer opportunity and if I can't hear by the end of the week I'm going to have to find a way to crank the volume and power through. If I don't get it it's going to be because they don't want me, not because I was all, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I have a cold."
But this is the first day that I've been mostly upright and I sent just enough emails and did just enough work to create more emails coming in and more work for myself. I'm letting it pile on as we speak because I believe there's no time like the present for binge watching TV shows.
I was fortunate to be in the US long enough to get through to the last season of Californication on Netflix. Canada only had Seasons 1-4, so some of my "vacation" consisted of Seasons 5, 6 and most of 7. I bought the last few episodes to quell the voice in my head that keeps my up at night wondering when I'll get to see it finish up. I mean, I'm all for a steamy show for the sake of a steamy show, but the content of this particular creation is (was) a hilarious, well-written story.
Of course 3 hours of a television show is going to bring my day to a screeching halt, as it should. Don't act like it's never happened to you.
