Working at Home
Here's a useless bit of trivia left over from my adolescence:
Today is Michael Jackson's birthday. I know this because I was into him during the Thriller era. That was when his face had only been through one nose job. Oh wait - I forgot. He claims that's all he had.
So yesterday and today I've been working from/at home.
It's nice to still be able to wear my pjs while I work. But I didn't think I'd get this tired. I'm not used to being on the computer all day. Both yesterday and today I've gotten a headache. I think working again is going to take more getting used to than I thought.
My employer has this software that enables employees to connect to the network and their office computer from home. Since we have a new computer, I needed that software again. Even with my high-speed Internet, it took over four and a half hours for all of that software to download. I was on the phone with the tech guy for over an hour installing everything.
I'm exhausted.
There is a new girl at cardiac rehab. She's my age and has a congenital heart defect as well. Her aorta tore and she had angioplasty to fix it. (At least that's what I think she said. I was a little brain dead after working again for the first time yesterday.) It's nice to have another woman there, especially one my age! We had a great conversation while walking next to each other on the treadmills. There's nothing like getting to know someone when you're walking on a treadmill while hooked up to heart monitors.
Well, I need to go take something for my headache and take a nap. I have a feeling that my blog entries will be a little shorter for a little while until I get back in the swing of things.
Man, I really liked being a woman of leisure.
