As you know, at my job we always go to work anyway no matter how sick we are. But for the second time this week my alarm clock did not bother to work. Could this actually be? The alarm clock that I bought at Clas Ohlson for 99kr on my second day in Sweden way back in 1999 has given up? Seriously, 11 years is amazing. By my quick calculation, that means 2.5 öre/day. My next alarm clock will not likely have that kind of running cost.

Anyway, the sore throat phase is done but the sneezing and coughing are here. That 'hit by a train' feeling is lingering also. Lovely start to the weekend.
