headache

I have a splitting headache, and I've had it for over 24 hours now.
When a headache lasts that long...it can't be just the after effects of a meeting. Or Gas for that matter ,
It can be both though.
Nevertheless, a mammoth of a headache like this once needs a tribute of sorts,
deserves to be etched in the memory lane...
It started during one Requirements Analysis meeting yesterday afternoon, in which I was explaining to the client, her requirements, helping her realise what did she want from the application she was asking for, wondering if I would've made a better shrink, than a software professional.

Having done that with reasonable success, since I did not have this head ache then, I waited patiently for
the cab that was supposed to pick me up from my client's office and bring me home, ahem my own office,
(that's what a 9-9 schedule does to you). that additional 30 mintues of waiting made me realise, how
having-no-other-option can manifold your patience levels.

Reaching my office I realised all my patience has pretty much snapped, and I went home, where I slept like a log for over 4 hours. My roommate finally had to roll me off the bed, well nearly, to wake me up.
I woke up to a throbbing head, apparently the "nap" had done more harm than good, as I had very conveniently forgotten to take a pill before crashing. Not that I had any patience to look for one anyway.

Thanks to my roommate, who coaxed, nagged, did everything it took to force something down my throat hoping food would help. IT didn't though, nor did the massage she gave me lasting over an hour, I must've done some great deed to get that...anyways, I fell asleep at 3:00 in the morning,when fatigue finally took over. I got up at 10:00 this morning, my office begins at 9:30, I was better, if only slightly.
My companion seemed to have settled itself quite nicely in the only head that I have, with no immediate vacating plans. I dragged myself to work,you can't take a sick leave everytime you have a headache, well I can't, and collapsed, literally, on my seat with the firm decision of not getting up till it was time to go home, not even for lunch. I didn't trust myself to see straight and was kind'a worried people would ask questions. Or talk. To me.

Around half an hour later, I got up for breakfast, hunger can be a pretty ruthless master.
After another hour or so, my friends, dragged me to lunch, "skipping meals is not going to make you
feel any better", I wasn't hungry but then, they weren't listening. On my way back at around 2:00, I got a call, I had another meeting at 3:00, at the client's office. I had forgotten, this was weekly meeting.
I couldn't miss it. Why would I even want to, my manager wondered aloud, specially since she couldn't make it.
Well why would I....

So there I was, back to my client's office, a different office and a different set of clients this time,
and my dear old companion, no I don't mean my colleagues, exactly 24 hours old,happy and thriving,waiting for me to give in and pass out. And there I was, explaining to the clients, their requirements, helping them realise what they wanted from the application they were asking for, wondering if I would've made a better shrink, than a software professional....

The BRS would come in by tomorrow, but I'm sure I still did a pretty decent job, this time with my headache

I'm back, at my seat, waiting for this article to finish itself,hoping my dear companion would tire itself out
and leave me in solace...
I have to go for a movie ,you can't spoil everyone's plans everytime you have a headache, well I can't.
I am hoping though, that all three of us would have fun, me, my roommate and the HeadAche....
