After four hours of fighting worsening nausea, I called it a day and came home. I doubt being at home will make it any better, but I certainly prefer to be here, in the air conditioning, than working in a hot and muggy back room with no air circulation at all. That and if I must pray at the porcelain altar, I'd prefer my bathroom floor to that of a department store--which also has toilets that flush automatically and forcefully, forcing you to dodge at the worst possible moment.

Like spitting in the wind- plus chunks. I definitely choose my own altar over that of some crummy cheap god that everyone worships out of convenience...
In other news- I'm debating putting off surgery. Is it wrong of me to avoid that crap when I could be making it worse by being a coward?
I answered my own question within my own question...

Sadly for you I imagine the economic bit of surgery altso weigh in. But putting of a necessary surgery just because of money and fear is never a good thing. Then again comes the question. How long would you be putting it off? If it's not life threatening and you are not planning on doing anything that would complicate the injury/surgery....putting it off for after summer isn't a bad idea. Nothing like ruining your summer vacation because you are recovering from surgery.

Alas, I have no summer vacation. It's not life threatening, but it is time sensitive. I need to just suck it up and call the surgeon...

THE WEEKEND IS HERE!
I worked at a gas station for five years and the only thing I miss about the experience was all the weird crap that hit our shelves first or only hit our shelves because the bigger stores just didn't stock them. We'd get the new flavors of drinks and junk food in and of course you would have to try them and take it upon yourself to push them on coworkers, friends, family, and customers.
Now that I have moved on, I rarely go inside gas stations and even then it usually for a drink or to pay for gas in those rare occasions that I have cash on me. I don't stick around and browse so the only way I even notice the new, weird stuff is if it is on display by the register. Well, these last few days I have had to stop at gas stations because someone has a nicotine addiction so I have made a point of taking a few minutes of browsing. The first place, a 7-11, had jack all beyond the Green Apple Gatorade that I've already tried. FYI, it ain't great. The second was a generic corner store, which had Dr. Pepper, Hawaiian Punch, and Crush knock-off Twizzlers. Score. I went with the Crush ones, but will return to try the others.
So yeah, my weekend has started and I got to indulge a need I've been ignoring for three years. Not a horrible day.
Also, yes, I do realize how boring a person I am.

The President has asked for my office partner's resignation and letter of apology to the board of directors. I don't particularly want to work without her- not here anyway. The alternative is to step down and go make coffee and clean toilets for rich people and take a $5 pay cut.
All this (pancake flippin') drama over a (sausage sizzlin') typo. A (burnt toast) TYPO! Honestly, just because we speak multiple coding languages doesn't make us (bacon frying) computers! Let it go!

Well, I'm currently having to care for eight, yes EIGHT primarily outside kittens. We have some people who want to take them when they're old enough, so I have to make sure they get the best care I can give them. Doesn't help that there is some kind of eye infection that kittens can get that crusts their eyes shut. Needing to clean the eyes of eight unwilling and angry fluffballs with claws isn't easy.

And those in the picture look amazing. Get 'em some spiked armor and we're good to go. In other news, I recently lost internet at my house for a while. If anyone has noticed my absence, that's why. Hopefully I get it back soon enough.

The people we rent from forgot to pay the gas bill. I haven't had a hot shower in a week. From the looks of it, it might be another month until I get one.

The good news: The gas should be back on tomorrow! Hot showers, finally!
The bad news: I have to work at five in the morning, so I don't get one.

I have hot water!
Also, I had to use up an hour and a half of vacation time or lose it, so I got off work early.
But, I have to go to work on one of my day's off to catch up on putting away paperwork since the other two people working full-time in my department can't seem to get it done.

I am officially quitting smoking. After nearly a decade of going through about a pack and a half a day I'm cold quitting. I'm finishing the last few drags of my final cigarette as I type this. Some think this is a good thing.
Wait until I go into withdrawal...
