GB

In an effort to keep you updated with the happenings of me, here you go: I’m ill. That’s the long and short of it. Got sick last Thursday in what I thought was just a stomach related illness. Turns out I have gallstones, in which case, I have to schedule myself with a surgeon to find out what the best way to deal with this is – most likely it involves me becoming Swiss-cheese. I’ll have to have my gallbladder removed at some point. I can’t eat fatty foods nor foods with high calcium contents which means cheese is not allowed. The mere thought of an existence without the aged goodness of cheese is horrible but the thought of me having an internal organ become inflamed, infected, and burst is even worst.

Stress is one of those factors that should probably be kept at a minimum, however, knowing me I exacerbate all life’s anxieties and worsen myself. I guess when forced with life a certain way or the possibility of intense pain, one chooses life. I may not be happy for the next couple of month, I may not be able to go to Ireland in May, but I will have to take a week off and do absolutely nothing if the GB needs to go. I should mention now I like fruit baskets, but not the kind that David Duchovny gives in Evolution, ha.

In other news, I was the sole trainer for 15 district officials for my organization's new baby, an online application system. It's pretty neat, candidates log-in find vacancies and send their information to that district. The officials can find candidates for their vacancies and it cuts down on the paper trail and costs. I was asked to train these people yesterday late morning and to sit in on a session that afternoon. I think I did fairly well even if I couldn't use the computer to demonstrate the activities planned for them.

It's certainly been a very crazy week, workshops always bring death and despair and plagues and all the bad things that happen to my department. I am starting to think that perhaps they should stop doing workshops, at least for our sake. Last fall's workshops brought a coworker appendicitis, another spring workshop brought a blizzard to the area. I guess I should beware the Ides of March.
