Weekend Update with The Big KL

No news with the job hunting - Been coughing too much to set up any interviews or even spend too much time in a public place without people thinking I have bird flu. I tried to visit my doctor on Thursday, but they didn't take walk-ins, and I needed to make an appointment ahead of time. If I realized I was going to hack up internal organs on Thursday, I would have scheduled an appointment earlier in the week. I'm sure that Dr. Nobu (not his real name) has his magazines in some really nice magazine racks, and nicely cushioned waiting room chairs, since his office must be so posh that you need to make an appointment ahead of time.

I moved on to a new doctor on Friday, and he hooked me up to these new-fangled devices, and came to the conclusion that I have a mild form of asthma, most likely aggravated by all the allergens in the air. I pop an Allegra now and have an aspirator, like all the cool kids do. The cough seemed to have subsided on Saturday, but then got really bad on Sunday, but I seem ok today, aside from the sniffling (new symptom). Turns out wifey is now sick too (although the doctor said I wasn't contagious), and she had to call in sick today for work.

So once I get better, I'll go aggressive with the calling and the networking, etc. Anyone I speak to on the phone right now will mostly likely think I'm a chain smoker, so a few more days to get better...
