Karma Kursed?

Apparently I've come down with a lovely head cold. It started out as the slightest of sore throats and has progressed into an incredible amount of face pain. I spent about half of yesterday walking around in a fog and would have loved to have taken today off. Unfortunately, for various reasons (meetings, needed to get software installed on my laptop so I could work from home, etc.), I dragged myself back into the office. I tried my best not to breathe on anyone. That worked sufficiently for a few hours until the intense face pain kicked in. After awhile I think I stopped being sufficiently coherent. Who knows what I agreed to today.

I really did try to keep the whining to a minimum (or at least in my twisted head it was a minimum) and counted the minutes until I could leave. Once on the train I figured I was in the clear. WRONG! Just outside of the city we had to wait at the switch for an Amtrak train to pass. It died in the middle of the switch so we had to backup a couple of miles, switch tracks and try again. So I missed my regular connection (just about started to cry because I had no meds and the pain was getting really intense) and got home later than usual. Did I score negative karma points today to warrant extra torture??

My plan at this point is to work from home. Hopefully I'll be coherent tomorrow with a little extra sleep.
