back in the saddle

I'm back to work after two days out sick. You know what I'm discovering? I habitually come back to work too early. I'm still sick and should still be home in my pajamas, but I had work I needed to do that I couldn't do from home. So I'm here.

I'm contemplating taking off early. I have a lot of stuff to do by next Wednesday, though, so I think I'm just going to be toughing it out. Problem is, part of what I have to do is some mixing work in the studio and my right ear is pretty cloudy right now from my cold.

So, on the one hand, I know I'm too sick to be at work. And on the other hand, I know that I have a lot of work that can't afford to have me be sick.

Life is a many-splendored tapestry of crappy options. Come to think of it, that sounds like one of those demotivational posters from Despair.com.
