How to be in a great mood while sick...

So today I had my orientation at my new job. I can hardly speak with how sore my throat is, and even when i'm not trying to speak, it still sucks. No amount of liquid can seem to keep my throat from feeling like dry mummified crap.

I steeled myself though, and just made my way into my first day at Cox.

(a healthy supply of cough drops helped with this)

Needless today, for a monday being sick...going to Cox made the day unsuck. (yes..that's a word in my world)

The benefits are teh awesome. I won't (probably shouldn't) go into specifics. It has the standard "we own you and everything you do while you are on the clock" routine. Then its also got "you are insured as of your start time this morning". Great PTO policies, and one of the most interstingly unique medical insurance processes. I'm not sure if the insurance is good or bad, but it gives me warm fuzzy feelings in areas i've had problems with before. I like the warm fuzzies.

Now i'm at home, and one of my roomies is having a birthday party. He's barbequing a rediculous amount of meat. Mmmm....meat.
