We came home from Europe on October 9, and both Dan & I were totally sick (the most horrible cold I think I've ever had!). I had applied for a temporary job (14 months maternity leave coverage) just before we left for Europe -- I got an email while I was still in Europe saying that the interview would be the first day I returned to work. So I came back to work, completely sick and still in holiday-mode and had to do an interview with a panel of 4 interviewers. What fun!
I was offered the job about 10 minutes after the interview, so I suppose it went well. :P
I was asked to start training for the position on October 24 - so that meant training for the new job every day for about 4 hours, while still doing my regular job too.
I was really trying to get back into "work mode" after having been in Europe for almost a month ... but it was really hard, as the nasty cold just wouldn't go away. And what really sucked was that it ended up turning into a horrible, nasty, very painful sinus infection. I'd never had one of those before - and truth be told, I wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy! Oooh it hurt so bad. It meant that I had to go on antibiotics, take steroid nasal spray and do sinus rinses regularly.
Nasty cold + sinus infection + stress of having to train for a new job while doing a full-time job = BAD. By the first week of November I was really run down.
