Does anyone else who works full time in a shitty/crowded office building start feeling flu-like symptoms toward the end of the day

I just get really tired. To offset it I take lunch late and try to walk around a couple times in the afternoon.

It's called "sick building syndrome." I'm not kidding.

thanks for that. Sounds exactly like what I'm dealing with.

I'd do what Kyle was suggesting. The walking around and getting outside and such.

I'm going to call you Thursday. Maybe we can hang after practice?

That was about the time I left my shitty office job....

Yes, it could be sick building syndrome or it could just be the fact that you've been sitting in front of a computer all damn day and your body is shutting down.

To offset it, I do exactly what Kyle does. Leave for lunch sometime between 1:00 or 2:00 and make a point to get up and walk around a lot more in the afternoon.

hahahahahahahahahaaaa!! i have a set 30-minute lunch at 1:00 each day, and am heavily graded on how much I can stay at my desk.

that would be a good solution, though.

i start feeling dizzy and get a headache by like 3:30 but once i'm home i feel much better. i've attributed it to staring at the computer screen all day long and no fresh air :[

how is the job search coming along?

[sonic_chuck]

job interviews here and there. I had one on friday that I left feeling good about but am starting to think I'm out of the running. I have another one tomorrow for a company that I don't really even remember applying for.
I don't know.. Feeling really stuck. That's all. thanks for asking though.
