Still sick, blargh.
Have temporarily set aside the maddening history book and am kind of hopscotching my way through the excellent history book -- normally I am better at maintaining a linear reading pattern, but a combination of being most interested in a single aspect of the book that is not mentioned in every chapter and, you know, being sick, has been doing weird things to my ability to concentrate. I spent this evening at work backtracking to where I went non-linear and trying to read properly from there onward.
Another book has come available via interlibrary loan and I will try to pick it up on Friday. I meant to get up 15 minutes early today and pick it up on my way into work, but that plan fell through on account of, you know, being sick.
In other news, I was AWESOME at customer service today. Some days I am brisk and businesslike, other days I am kind of barely restraining myself from calling all customers goddamn idiots and ordering them to get out and leave me alone, and yet other days I think I am being helpful but apparently I come off as supercilious (and/or customers are just assholes; probably both), but today I was ON FIRE. Which may or may not have had anything to do with the way I was having mild but persistent out-of-body floating feelings all day. You know, the kind where your "sense of self" is anywhere from three inches to a whole foot displaced from the center of your physical body. Which I had on account of, you know, being sick.
And possibly feverish by now, I dunno, I think I should get to bed.
Yes. That is an excellent plan.
