I know everyone can always use some, right? Anyways, my team lead told me she didn't want me there for the deployment tomorrow night. Not because I'm incompetent (though I'm sure I qualify for that excuse as well), but because she doesn't want the added stress while I'm still sick. It works out well for everyone involved, because I can come in at the normal time and be there during the day if customers need help, etc. (the rest of the team doesn't usually come in until 4 or 5 pm on deployment days) and I get to go home at a decent hour and get plenty of rest. I'm still planning on staying late to make up for the hours spent at the doctor's last week, but I'll be leaving around 6 pm - instead of the 6 am I left at last deployment. Jeff is much happier and, truth be told, so am I. I like to pull my weight, but I've never been good with lost sleep.

The weather is also taking a turn for the better, or cooler at least. The last three days have been 110-115 degrees - nasty! Tomorrow is supposed to be only in the upper 80s, but there're storms moving in. Oh well, I'll take the rain and wind (so long as our power doesn't go out) over the heat and humidity. Have I ever expressed my gratitude for having a desk job at times like these?
