Who's got lurghi? I do!

So, still voiceless, and I've been running a temperature and coughing my guts out most of the night. And considering I'm getting to the coughing up crap stage, this is a little more than overstraining my vocal cords. *sighs* Day off today, again, because apparently I'm not capable of working a full week these days. Eventually they're going to get sick of me and fire my ass, I'm sure of it.

Still no word on the interview for the job I applied for two weeks ago now. Oh, I forgot to mention it? Yeah, two positions came up where I work, essentially the job I'm doing as a temp atm. I put in my resume and a covering letter and Jane's acting as referee for me and if I get an interview I should get the year-long proper contract. However, still waiting to hear on the interview thing. Knowing my luck, it'll be for early next week and my voice will still be screwed.

A day of tea and malingering in bed today, I think. [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] is staying with us, which is cool, since she doesn't need me to talk to her much and we ca re-watchAngel season 5 all day if we want. But it still doesn't make up for another day of lost pay. :(

I used to have an immune system. This is getting bloody ridiculous.

So. Very. Bored.

Incredibly bored, in fact. And the problem is, I'm bored in the fashion that means I actually have very little creative brain in which to do interactive entertainment. What I want to do is sit back and be entertained. Which means any kind of RP is out, unless people post logs for me to read. Or fic. Fic would be good. It's terribly lazy of me, I know, but a brain muncher seems to have gotten to me overnight (or maybe it was the waking up to cough every hour or so), and I have nothing left in the writing hopper.

I have, so far, re-read V for Vendetta, watched all of the Mac vs. PC commercials on the Apple site, and skimmed through StrikoutGate, or whatever they're calling the completely pointless deletion spree LJ went on, given there are still pedophilia journals and comms active out there. I have also updated my Firefox, reorganised my bookmarks and downloaded the update for my LJ-switching plug in that [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] put me onto and which makes life so much easier with the multiple RP journals. Oh, and I've discovered someone downloaded iJournal at some point, which means I have an interface for posting that doesn't require me to turn Firefox on. Huh. The things you find when you go browsing through your hard drive.

I have not showered, although this might change soon as there's a bag o' garbage needs taking out and I refuse to a) do that in my PJs and b) make the house guest, who already does dishes, do it.

Hmm.

I suppose I could grab what I have of The Sandman series, plus The Watchmen and do more reading. Or, gasp shock and horror, read a proper book. Without pictures, even. Since it's not like I'm sort of reading material here in the House O' Books.
