That title goes out to all of you Star-Trek fans out there (dorks). Seriously though, this is the last and most ominous week of the series for Managerial Finance. So far I have a 94% for the class and I just finished all of the discussion questions. That leaves the final. I’ve decided to take the next 5 days of work off for a mini-vacation in celebration of completion of my core should I finish all of my work tomorrow or to use as a buffer should I get behind. So far this class has been challenging to put it in the most politically correct of terms. But for those of you not so easily offended, it has been a real butt-kicking reality check.

Of course as Murphy would have it I have also been battling a severe sinus infection that appears to have turned into something dangerously close to bronchitis during the last week. I couldn’t get in to see the doctor until tomorrow at 10AM and she is an hour away. So I have been working, doing homework and fighting my 2nd illness of 2008 and it’s not even April yet. The year 2008 has not been kind to me thus far. I’m thinking about getting a refund from Father Time if things don’t improve much. You think that can be done?

I’m told that stress causes one to be more susceptible to getting sick. Maybe that is the problem, overwork, under relaxation. And I am scheduled for a 14 or more hour day my first day back from vacation at work. Thanks a pant-load boss!

So since life isn’t letting up I’m just going to have to get tough, quit crying and get on with it (a little tough love to one’s self never hurts). Seriously though I’m about due for a break soon or I just may crack up some. Of course selling a house, buying a new house, moving and doing this class while maintaining an “A” hasn’t exactly been conducive to what most people would call “being rational” but hey, it’s nothing a little Prozac can’t fix right?
