Woke up with a really bad sore throat yesterday - well, the sore throat started Monday afternoon just as work was about to close. Then yesterday morning, I felt like I had swallowed an elephant and I could have sworn that my chin had trebled.
So I spent almost all morning at the hospital. I have never met a doctor who expressed so much interest on his patient - well, he certainly liked to talk! He didn't really ask too much questions on my ailment, he seemed to be more interested in telling me other things. I would love to tell you what most of his monologue was all about - but you see, I have this uncanny ability to switch off on a conversation, and switch on an Oscar performance with the timely "yes", "uh-huh", oh really?", etc right on cue. So am sure it was a pretty interesting conversation - compelling stuff, I'm sure.
However the doctor was kind enough to give me the rest of the week off - much to the horror of my boss. He seems to think that my crimbo holidays has started. Will not comment on that too much.
Anyway, went home on the lunchtime bus feeling the chills that could mean either one of two things: winter has started in Africa or I am coming down with a fever. Obviously it was the latter.
