07:10 Tweet-driving, wishing I was still in bed. #

07:57 I'm surprised how many people are at work today. Sucks, that means I'll have to work a full day. :) #

07:58 I also left my gym bag at home so I wouldn't be tempted to work out today. I still don't feel all that great. #

09:07 Dell tells me the reason this computer won't run the PCIe x1 card I bought is that it "wasn't designed for gaming." Nice. #

09:07 Said PC has a PCIe x16 slot and TWO PCIe x1 slots. #

09:08 Said PC was purchased to run 6 monitors in order to display FREIGHT TRAFFIC. Yeah, that's gaming, mm-hmm. #

09:32 Aha! Finally an answer from Dell, they say the bandwidth of these cards is too high, creating the incompatibility. #

09:41 Hey cool, my boss is taking us to lunch. #

09:41 Sushi again, likely. :) #

Merry Christmas Eve!

Hey, guys. I'm still hanging in there, but still not feeling well, and not going to the gym or running. I honestly didn't picture spending Christmas this way, last weekend I was picturing myself at the gym today and running tomorrow. The way I still feel, 3 days after my first symptoms, I'm not running tomorrow for my life.

I am healthy overall though. My RHR was back to normal this morning, and at least I'm not SICK (i.e., not throwing up or anything, don't have a fever to the point of staying in bed).

Today my boss took our department to lunch, and I actually said aloud that I would be (as opposed to thinking about) doing a marathon on May 3. It just sort of came out. I'm not financially committed yet, but it would appear that mentally I'm committed. Or should be committed.

So that's where I'm at. Merry Christmas, everyone.

07:49 Hey, I know, I'll get the $599 Garmin Oregon GPS! ;) #

08:19 Two fax machines, side by side. The call comes in, "One of the faxes needs a cartridge." "Which one?" I ask. "I dunno." is the response. #

08:28 No REI trip. My wife: "Remember I went shopping and thought I had money in the bank? I'm $200 overdrawn now." #

21:42 I can't stand it anymore, I need to go to bed. No getting up at 2:30am! My tiredness is ridiculous. Nite all. #
