After arguing with my computer all night about power savings mode (YOU WILL SHUTDOWN AND STAY SHUTDOWN!) I was looking at only 6 hours of sleep...so I went to bed about 6AM...
...Only to be woken up by the most intense stabbing cramp in my calf I've ever had. I woke up suddenly, heart poundingly and even screamed a bit. I've never had a cramp like that. I physically had to grab my foot and un-point it...and I felt muscles strecthing as I did it. I spent the next thirty minutes trying to massage that cramp out, and didn't get back to bed until an hour after I woke up.
5 hours of sleep is not a good thing. Especially when you're waking up to feel your calf haveing spasm and trying to cramp up again.
I woke up in time for work with the begnnings of a migrain, and the cramp STILL was there, but not nearly as bad. I was limping into work...and lasted all of two hours before my little headache turned into a full blown migraine. I left home early.
Tuesday and Wednesday were my days off, and over those two days, I managed to complete another issue of AWFW, which is much better than last episodes, and pencil in all of CS. All Tuesday my leg was STILL cramping and spasming, and the only thing that came to mind was Blood Clot.
Thankfully, though, by Wednesday my leg was feeling mostly normal, and I'm just g;ad it wasn't some sort of Deep Vein Thrombosis.
FRIDAY The day we were suppoed to get laid off. We all got an EMail today, congratulating us on our great improvement. My badge still worked, I'm still sitting here. And I'm still worried.
I passed the metric crucible (and I know a few didn't, the parking lot was emptier when I came into work today) but now I hve a second one. Several people I know got contacted today about "Surfing inappropriate Websites." I don't do that. Never have. So I asked which website I was inapproriate to my manager. She mentioned that I went to a Republic of Texas website, which is an anti-US terrorist group, looking to overthrow the government.
Hrm. Anti-US, I'll agree with. Terroristic Governemnt OVerthrowing site? No. However, I'm realizing this is the next test. Find ANYTHING to kill us on. So, I'm not going to ANY site ANYONE would consider offensive ANYWHERE. And I mean REALLY cramping down (No more LJ at work, because of innaproriate icons, no more "iffy" comics that aren't naughty, but have...I dont' know...ideas). They're going to try an get rid of us ASAP, and I really don't want to give them any reasons.
Not like I even took those guys seriously...look at Closetspace! (Which I can't go to as part of the "Don't give them ANY reason" edict)
