I went in to work around 10am today. We had a long night of driving in mad traffic on the way back from Chicago..well Bolingbrook IKEA. Construction all over 80 and it took hours to get through it.

So I was sitting there at my desk trying to figure out why one of the systems I was working on was not accepting a push from the SDO server and then it hit me!

A MIGRAINE

Yeah sucks ass because I knew it was going to be a long day with no medicine anywhere around. It was weird though I had a headache like usual but when I was standing it felt like the floor was moving up and down. I felt this before but only a few weeks ago and thought nothing about it.

Jen called the cell just after I felt this and asked if there was any way I could pick her up because she forgot she had a meeting downtown a few blocks from where I was at.

Picked her up and took the rest of the day off. I don’t want this to last all night so I need to relax the rest of the day. Funny thing is that where she is having her meeting is the same building where Wellpoints’ Corp office is at!

Oh well no one knows me here. My boss is at my location and my real boss is in Boston or something like that.

So here I am outside (I put my badge one anyways so I don’t look like some random guy sitting here) typing away about nothing. I feel kinda bad for leaving work early buy what the hell. I needed to.

It’s funny how no one out here will talk to each other. I have a guy pacing all around smoking and a girl standing right in front of me staring at her shoes trying to act like she’s busy..I know she’s not.

I can tell the Starbucks people here though..most of them have tan pants on of some sort and a black top. Talking all business like and about how important they are. I dunno I guess I’m a little different because when I’m outside chillin out the last thing I want to do is talk to someone I already work with is work. Blah!

I know I do this too but I have noticed out here when people are out here by themselves smoking it looks like they are on a mission and not enjoying it. Why do we so this..like it’s a task we have to do and we don’t like it.

I’m going to be here for an hour and a half sitting here doing nothing but, it’s better than trying to do brain work for the next few hours. Something I can’t handle right now.

I want to go lay down but I can’t, there’s no where to do that at. Grr this is starting to suck and I have about an hour to go. I can’t pick up a wireless connection anywhere out here. Well I know if I walked down the block a little I could but that would look alittle funny. Sitting in front of a building with a laptop. Sure to draw un-needed attention to myself could get robbed and then I would be really pissed.

Maybe I could go upstairs to the corp office and just sit around somewhere..I have my badge and there is no questioning it. Better not.

I went to a school the other day to see about training for my MCSA but they want 24k to do it! Ahhh what the hell. It’s all because (they say) they are an official Microsoft Academy and that’s all they focus on. They almost guarantee that in 6 months I would have my MCSA and MCSE.

I don’t know for some reason I’m thinking I could just go to a small community college and pay a lot less and get the same if not better training.
