I also hate working with migraines.

Brain: Broken!

I definitely have a migraine today.

Oh sure, it's a bit better now, my head, but when I woke up I couldn't even walk right. It was banging so hard that I lacked enough focus enough to keep myself upright. So I fed the rabbit and went back to bed. And, as it turned out, I wound up crashing for another six hours. Thus, I didn't make it in to work today, which I should feel bad about, but you know what?

I don't. One would think I should, but as much work as I put in to begin with, and as much as I do at work that I'm not even paid for, I am unconcerned. Besides, as long as I throw in some overtime over the next two days, I will have literally zero fallout from taking today off to recover from this thing. And I was intending to anyway, so that's that.

The hope is that I won't have one of these going on tomorrow, because sometimes I do get a migraine that goes on and on and on and on and just won't stop tormenting me. And though I can get away with missing one day this week, missing two would be a bit more problematic. So either way, unless I'm literally blinded by a migraine, my silly self is going to have to go back in to work.

Though I'll probably avoid the bream room and all its brain damaged permanent occupants. When my head gets like this, my internal editing equipment is much more prone to slipping, and I'm liable to say something that would engender far too much butthurt and poutrage. Which, naturally, would lead to even more rage-inducing migraines as I deal with the fallout down the road. No thank you.
