Well, not head, just shot. A while back they told us at the office that we are to get influenza shots. I wasn’t delighted by the idea, since there wasn’t a time in the past 10 or so years when I’d not faint when they punched a needle in me. Usually it was just from taking blood, but once I managed to pass out when the dentist gave me an anaesthetic shot. (I got the rest of my teeth fixed without it.)

I complained a lot about having to get a needle hit me, but while it definitely wasn’t compulsory, even passing out for a few minutes is better than being knocked out with the flu for days because some retard sneezed on me on the train. So today I went and, guess what! I managed not to pass out. Guess I was just unlucky at the dentist?

I still won’t be donating blood though.

On Wednesday, during my lunch break, I wanted to sort out something about my credit card on the phone, but then the dear device decided to freeze rock solid in the middle of the call, terminating it. At this point I somehow managed to contain my rage, took out the battery and tried to power it up again.

Without any success. It sat in front of me for minutes and not even the Sony logo would show up. Now that made something snap in me, and then the wall made the screen of the phone snap too. I used it for a year, when I had it replaced for similar reasons. I again got the same Xperia VL, because it’s still the best phone on the lineup for me (and the smallest).

I just finished setting up the essentials (Google, Line, Twitter, Dropbox), and now let’s how it will work all right at least until next spring, when some discounts on my contract expire, so I’m thinking of switching phones at that point. Although if I can’t find anything under 4.5″, I’ll just stick with this one.

It’s been a while since I last got caffeine high. It might’ve been a year or two back when I knocked back 4-5 cups of freshly brewed coffee during a late-night translation session.
