Official CS blanket fort

[Mytical]

I definitely need the fort tonight, and thank goodness for Marmalady. Legs and feet really started hurting, then my hands decided they wanted to shake like crazy and not hold anything. They are .. somewhat behaving right now..finally.

Good grief! What kind of rocks do you have on your property??

Acquired another "bug" -- this one comes with explosive sneezes and coughing that sounds like a blend of whooping cough and the final stages of TB. Took Friday off school. Am seriously hoping I'm well enough to go in on Monday as there's a midterm scheduled that day. I don't doubt the teacher will reschedule if I can't make it but I'd just as soon get it over with.

Unfortunately, I can't call in sick at work tomorrow because ... they require a doctor's note. I seriously doubt there's much a doctor could do for me except give me the usual "get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, etc. etc." advice, and I'm not prepared to sit in a walk-in clinic for 2 hours or more to hear that. Soooo ... I will go in to work and hopefully after a fit or two of coughing and sneezing they will send me home early.

This is the tip off the bit of a hydraulic rock breaker we're using on the side of a hill on my property. I'm probably going to have to pay for the bit, and am a bit scared of how much it's going to cost...

The same ones scratching up my throat. Mold allergies. *sigh* Also, I got a 1099-C form, which might add to my taxable income. I usually get a refund. I probably won't end up owing, but of course the fear will be in back of my mind. I have enough trouble paying to have my taxes done.

I don't know who keeps hiring those ninjas to come into my room, hit me on the back and head, and then disappear but I wish they would stop. Feel like I've been ran over by a steam roller.

Took the Wednesday off as well ... I felt better but figured I could afford it. Would've loved to take the rest of the week off but by Thursday I really had no excuse -- well, no valid excuse -- to continue staying home.

Program coordinator has informed me I can do two labs on Tuesday -- the 8-11 lab and my regular noon-3 lab. I'm glad to be able to make up the lab but that means 6 hours under the gimlet eyes of The Bitch And Her Evil Twin. *ugh*

Oh well -- next weekend is a long weekend! Yay!

[Mytical]

Minor complaint compared to most..but I am an idiot. Went on yet another long trip today. Started the day with zero pain, which is very very extremely rare. Now..my legs are making me pay and pay dearly for that long trip. *sighs*

Probably, but 5 also works into 5 Alive! if we are in a robotics mood =)

If he starts to misbehave, quietly bring in a CAT6 box...


There's plenty more where you came from, bud.

[Andara Bledin]

Well, just make the official name 5e, and his nickname 5.

There. Solved.

^-.-^

[AccountingDrone]

So cute. And shouldn't he be named 5e?

Poor jezabel is hiding in the bedroom, buried deep under the comforter because we have a new cat, named 5 who is harmlessly cowering in his own box in the living room recovering from getting his nads whacked off and filled with shots from being vetted yesterday afternoon [it is the middle of the night].

Why 5 you ask? this is the box he is cowering in. When he emerges I will try and get a couple good pictures of him.

It's been such a stressful couple of weeks. One of our pharm techs is out because her husband had incredibly dangerous spinal surgery, so she's on LOA while he recovers. Bossman has known she would be leaving since before Christmas and did not arrange for a floater to replace her. Also, this week, the other cashier, Motormouth, is on vacation. Again, she has had this put in for MONTHS, and again, he did not arrange for someone to take her shifts, but is instead 'borrowing' HIPAA trained cashiers from up front and their schedules conflict with mine to where I'm leaving for the day while the cashier is going on lunch, so techs end up on the register to relieve us anyways. It's a nightmare. Last Friday a customer got me so worked up that for only the second time in almost three years, I had to walk out for an extended break to calm down. Also, the tech whose husband had surgery . . . came home with him to find their cat wheezing and acting strange, and they thought he had asthma so the vet gave him prednisone. It turns out he had some sort of infection, and he went to Rainbow Bridge on Monday. He wasn't even that old, and these are great, great animal lovers. That wasn't a cat, it was a family member, and the last thing they needed. We're just heartbroken for them right now.

And on a personal level . . . gah. I'm bemoaning my singleness at the time being. Things fell apart pretty quickly with the geeky guy I had the fling with after we had the contraceptive disagreement. But I kind of miss it. Maybe not necessarily him, since he turned out to be a very strange and slightly scary human being, but I miss the things we used to do together, if you take my meaning. I wish I had someone just to cuddle with, if nothing else (although other stuff is . . . fun), but someone for keeps and who is willing to be seen with me in public.

My birthday is next week and I have nothing planned. Blah. The feels
