I'll have to go to the hospital tomorrow if I won't get better by then. I have no idea where I caught this illness from, but I did attend a business event on Tuesday and that had the usual bad combination of handshakes followed by food. Why is such unhealthy combo so common and what can we do to change it? I’m very ill now… I’ll have to go to the hospital tomorrow if I won’t get better by then.

If your productivity is about to drop off the deep end, it helps to let your clients know so they don't get their panties in a knot about it. Hope you're feeling better Jarkko. -p I think you also make a great but subtly stated point: Communicate.

It feels good to be missed. I'm feeling decent already, and so is the rest of my family - although Mari just lost her voice almost completely... That's life. :) @Shane: "Sick baby != feeling of peaceful calm" is 100% true. It was weird when on Monday evening (I think it was Monday) we realized that Oiva was sleeping silently in his bed and not crying. After a few days of not enough sleep and lots of crying and weeping, it felt like heaven. About work/life balance, I'm with you. I think the distinction we make between the two is somewhat arbitrary and only serves the purpose of making people easier to manage (not a bad purpose, of course, but not a really good one either). A perfect human life is a perfect mix of all the ingredients that matter to us: some meaningful work, some family, some friends, so time for yourself, some good books, and so on. And especially with kids things rarely happen in the order you plan them to happen. I'm afraid that my son will take his first step when I'm not here to see it, or say his first real word just when it's time to be at work. I wonder if work and the rest of our lives could mix so that there is room for breaks for things like this in the work day and then again room for some hard work when that's needed... @Michael: Thanks for the support! Your former employer sounds like a pretty lousy one so it sounds like a good thing that you're now working at home and can care about your family when you want to. @Deron: Good tricks! I have never really tasted tomato juice so that's something I should definitely try. And excercising - that sure makes sense too. Nice to be back, although it's taking a while to get up to date on what has happened during these few days. At least Shane's interview thread has grown to something amazing (this morning when I went to read the comments, there was 74 of them - which is too much for me to handle in just a few minutes ;) Thanks guys! It feels good to be missed.

Being sick is no fun at all. I don't know if I'd classify these as "tricks" or not, but usually (knock on wood) I will only get sick about once per year. Seems around the start of winter I come down with a cold for about a week. Other than that, I'm usually fine. Whether it helps or not, I credit my lack of sickness to drinking lots of tomato juice (I love that stuff) and exercising three to four days a week (it's suppose to keep your immune system up). Anyway, glad you're back. Glad you’re starting to feel better Jarkko! Being sick is no fun at all.

Hopefully you are feeling a bit better. Sick baby != feeling of peaceful calm. Ok you bring up two important points - the clear one is contingencies. The other interesting one is the seperation of work and life. People get sick, other people die .. you name it. I had a friend who owned a large business who told me that within his organization on any one day, there is usually a death in the family, sickness, personal injury or tragedy as well as birthdays, births, and weddings. He said that business and life are never truly as separated as people try to make them. Makes me wonder if perhaps we should not hold them at such odds? I'll think more on contingencies on my walk.
