Well, I thought I'd post how I foresee how this day will go, and lower the bar on everyone elses' day.

Today I will be staying home and close to the jacks, very close. I am about to start the cleansing regime to prepare for a colonoscopy tommorrow morning. I've had stomach issues for three months. I have to drink several litres of this unpleasant liquid that is supposed to evacuate everything inside me. I am not particularly looking forward to this day. Oddly I've been more nervous about this procedure than actually going in for the colonoscopy itself. Oh well ..cheers. :erg:

Just did a system scan with AVG PC Tune-Up 2011. Scan showed 3178 problems. Itemized error-list revealed that a batch ain't one.

Man, that was nerdy...but I smirked.

jimjack: I have colon cancer in my family, so I have been dealing with that for 5 years now (and I am only 35). My uncle died @ 34 of colon cancer after a full colostomy. :eww: I pray never to end up like that. He went slow and painful.

Basically, I woke up with heartburn and threw up chili all over mah rug. I just folded it up and threw it out. Fuck cleaning up puke. Oh, and I got to play some Arx.

Today was a good day.

Got into work on time and floundered around doing productive but non-directed "stuff" that ate up three hours I wanted to spend doing focussed business case review, but who gives a shit, stuff got done.

Watched with documentary-style fascination as a guy who has been coasting on his MBA and arrogance for over 2 years got the HR Manager floating on his shoulder "pack your shit and leave quietly" routine. No loss as far as I'm concerned, guy only knew how to spend money and produce zero results - the worst kind of consultant gone native. Good fucking riddance.

I then went on my first run in about a year and a half with a colleague who's recently given smoking the boot (good on 'im), managed to keep pace with him (not sure if his pack-a-day lungs until recently are a good barometer of fitness) and not feel half bad afterwards.

Finished reading a fantastic rom-com script over lunch (The F Word - no, it isn't "fuck", it's "friend") and then got back to doing "more stuff" instead of more focussed work on an audit debrief from last week. Again, don't care, too much of a good thing going today.

Finished work, got home, spent some time with the kids and then headed out for an above-average French meal with the wife as my mother-in-law looks after the kids before they (wife/mother-in-law) shoot off for a jaunt to Sydney and leave me holding down the fort with the kids and a hectic work schedule. That shit is tomorrow though, I'll worry about it later.

Til then, sipping a wine and cruising the internets.

Lol I seem to be predicting my day before it happens, as I sit here with a pristine colon. That was not as brutal as I'd have expected, only loads of trips to the bogs and most false alarms..and Im still not bothered about the proceedure later this morning..I have to commnent on this, but first sorry to read that, only if it's your uncle how would that directly affect yourself in risk? Or worse did I read this wrong and it is you that has cancer? If so, I hope the best for you or do you just need to go through regular check ins? I have no idea if colon cancer much less anything else that might affect the colon on one side of my family. I do supect the diabetes is from that side though, so it's always going to be a bit of a surprise to learn of any other ailments I'm due for. I have had some bleeding and pains, the pain is enough to have taken me off the soccer pitch.

Also, the good thing about today is that tommorrow I won't have to go in for work. :thumb: and I've heard that people get tons of energy and a new resolve to keep their insides clean.

One of the last classes I need to graduate has been impossible to get into. I have been trying to get in for months. When early registration began, the class wasn't being offered for this quarter, which is enraging, but when I went to look at it later it was being offered, but full.

I spoke to the teacher today but she won't sign the add slip until we talk in her office in an hour. I strongly doubt she's going to let me in, and she's just making me wait to be cruel.

Fuck college.

Today I didn't do anything significant — and that was such a great thing. Last week I translated about 100 pages in 5 days and over 25 pages just on Monday (that's quite a lot, mind you). I still feel a slight pain in my wrists..

Anyway, I woke up late, watched silly videos on teh internets, phoned a few friends (including mom), cleaned up my flat, took a walk, watched a few sitcoms on TV while downloading the ME2: Arrival ;) Took a solid nap after lunch, played the DLC (it was pretty cool). Right now I'm on Skype, waiting for the guys I record podcast with (amateur, games-oriented), while making textures for yet another unfinished project of mine :) Oh, and I got another thing to do, but I'm not even touching it until tomorrow morning. I only checked the wordcount, and I'm pretty sure I'll do that in less than 5 hours :) Hopefully there won't be any surprises tomorrow. Actually, I wouldn't mind another day off ;)

It was a breeze. I'll get the results next week.:thumb:

Tocky on 30/3/2011 at 04:20

A breeze? Shouldn't have had the beans and cabbage then.

Not to get up in your business but tar- like poop signals colon damage like cancer whereass red blood signals roids or a hell of a night in Bangkok.

Seriously, just slept right through it, woke up, no pain, not really. And prepped by one extremely attractive nurse beforehand.

I've likely got ulcerative colitis or polyps. I highly doubt cancer.

Sure but as soon as you fell asleep she was stroking that sigmoid back and forth saying "take it baby" while the doctors rolled with laughter and she is going to post it to youtube and everybody will snicker at you and you won't know why. Seriously. I hear it's going viral.
