Tomorrow marks my official return into the full-time study arena. I foresee much yelling at the scientific calculator and muttering of "but I just want to run cat5e/6 from here to there".

Still, at least it's on the same campus as the hospitality studies, so all the cooking students will be providing high-quality food at minimal prices.

I need a break, oh, and had an assignment due tomorrow but that went in the post yesterday.

Welcome!

I'm not sure what a Mr Pipps is, but the bar is amazingly well stocked.

When in doubt, guard your secrets. (Keep your ship to yourself for now..)

Not that the folk here aren't trustworthy, but you never know who could come in marauding and stumble across it.

So belly up to the bar, order whatever you like best in prodigious quantities from the automated bartender, put something on the jukebox, work out your frustrations in the breakables room, take a dip in the chocolate hot tub, have a snooze in the napping loft, whatever suits you. (Just be on the watch for stampeding llama herds. We haven't seen any in a while, but you can never be too careful. Cuidado! Hoy llamas!)

On a RL note:
I'm going on an interview tomorrow at 8am. It's not women's health care, it's family medicine. I'm not sure if I'll even want the job and they're looking for permanent placement, but an interview is a step in the right direction.. which is out the door of the place I am right now. I'm headed that way regardless of the interview results, but it might get me there faster and having a safety net is a lovely thought.

I had all my wisdom teeth out a few years ago. I took some homeopathics and threw the drugs away. Surgeon said I was the quickest recovery he'd ever seen. I didn't tell him why; they never believe it anyway.

Lessee, what can I drink? Pretty much been subsisting on tea, milk and water. As it's bedtime, I'll ask the bartender for some milk. Another busy day of designer's block tomorrow. Or 'finding the right image' block, anyway.

I used arnica, hypericum, and symphidum remedies. I slept a lot. My jaw ached some, but I would not have called it unbearable pain. My cheeks swelled a little, but I wouldn't have called them chipmunk cheeks (as some have described the swelling from such things) and I was able to go back to work within three days, and at the time I was answering phones for a living. My gums hurt for a bit, but no more than they generally do after a routine filling, and they healed almost completely within the week. Bear in mind this was after having them cut open and bits of bone dug out of their depths.
This is all my personal experience. (I legally have to say something like) I make no guarantees that anyone else would have the same experience. Especially since no one tends to give it a try, after hearing my experience, opting for more traditional treatment in pretty much all things. Since most traditional drugs and treatments make me feel icky, I personally tend to opt out of them. Got that habit from my mother and her vast knowledge of alternatives.

healed in a WEEK? did you have stitches? *grumbles about not having stitches* if not, i gotta get me some of those homeopathness.

Snow today, not as bad as the weathermen were saying it was going to be, though. Yay for a short work day though, because the roads did get a little bad. Tea and cookies anyone? *curls up under a blanket*

PHOENIXROSE

Thursday, February 11, 2010 7:07 AM

I had stitches in my top gums, but not the bottom. I had two neat holes in the lower half of my mouth that got food stuck in them for a time until the tissue all grew back, but they did cease to be raw and bleeding in 'record time' according to the surgeon on my follow-up check. (There was also never any infection, though I quietly refused to take the antibiotics they insisted I needed to take. I've never taken the things in my life, I wasn't going to do it when I was perfectly healthy. Recipe for stronger and stronger pathogens, IMO.)
...I'm so glad to have found a doctor who doesn't insist the things that work for me can't possibly be what's working and the only things that work are what make me feel icky. It's been unspeakably freeing and improved my health dramatically to have an osteopathic doctor who works with me instead of just talking at me. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Damn, I'm tired. I was just starting to get decent amounts of regular sleep when I got two difficult projects back to back. I dun even have any of the lesser assignments done

Ah... this reminds me of that time when I was in Old Paris City, back on Earth-That-Was. (That's regular Paris on Earth-That-Is)

*puts the pot back, takes a cookie*

I went into this really, fancy restaurant on the Champs Elysses, can't remember the name (although, I might still have the reciept somewhere). I had to wait in line and everything, but I only had some tea and a piece of some "to injure yourself for" chocolate pie. Or at least, I think it was pie. It might've been a tart. It's been a while.

That...that's pretty much it.

Good God. I'm glad I never got my wisdom teeth out. They were growing in straight and weren't going to crowd any other teeth thanks to my big mouth (for real, my dentist said I have a huge mouth, big surprise, huh?).

I always hear horror stories about people getting theirs out, and while they were a bitch when they were growing in, I'd rather deal with that then all that stuff you guys had to go through.

I have my bioshock sitting right there, but I have to finish up this stupid tech homework. BAH!

My dentist said to leave my wisdom teeth as they were unless they caused some major problems. They did grow in at funny angles and were a bit crowded, but they didn't seem to be doing any harm to the other teeth so we left them be. But I think they may have to come out. There are little pockets now where food gets stuck and it's hard to clean. I don't want them out, that means surgery, and that means numbing, and that means syringes... *shudder*

I had mine out, but it required drilling into my jaw and major surgery. Foolishly to avoid missing more school I did it over Christmas break my sophmore year.. spent the whole of Christmas watching as others ate the nummy food and I ate mashed potatos.

I've discoverd sleep is not actually necessary...though very enjoyable. On a good note Johnny slept through the whole night ( I got up several times to check on him even though we have the uber monitor, but he was fine) YAY. Hopefully this trend will continue and I will actually get mroe than 3-4 hours of sleep a night...

New temp job sucks ass. I'm only part time but they asked if I could do more hours. Not quite sure what to say.

I get to look at other peoples phone/cable/internet bills and break down the cost of them and enter them into a spreadsheet.

The commute sucks too because theres a roundabout I have to go through. I curse the soul of the person that thought of making those.

I hate that one. The speed's too high for the volume it sees and nothing's posted far enough in advance. The roulette wheel of commuting: Round and round and round you go, will they let you over?...nobody knows!

I left work with a migraine today. I was home by 2pm and slept until 5:30. Now I'm just foggy and a little nauseous. I need to be perky for tomorrow's early morning meeting with the potential Doc. It would have been today but they had to reschedule.

So far this week I went to Wrexham, worked till half seven then went to hotel, worked next day and got home past seven again, things falling over and haven't left work before six this week and I'm not even rota'd on 24/7 support this week. I know there are worse shifts in the world and I promise not to complain too much but this is doing me no favours health wise.

Ah well, washing up and hopefully I might have time to curl up with new Justina Robson book for a little.

How are we all doing? A day of computer games...I wish!

Oh yeah, discovery of the day, Steve Vai played on a Motorhead album, happy gee!

Bite size bliss.

Well, the potential new place coughed up another two bucks an hour, guaranteed, and I was practically promised it would go up after the initial trial period of 13 weeks.
Plus the semiannual review would be six months after my original start date (Monday)so that's three months after I've gone permanent.
Plus, if it iz teh sukz the agency will cheerfully pull me the hell outta there and we can start over again.
So I decided that it was steady income consistently, I might learn valuable stuff and stretch a little, I wouldn't be in charge, and people sounded like they laughed there enough to make it worth giving it a shot.
I'm still not going to be making what I would have, but it's close enough for now. The agency will even pitch in a buck an hour to see to it that I'm getting what I've been earning at my other jobs with them.
I feel like such a jackass being picky when there's tens and tens of thousands of people out of work, and I know some of them, but I have to look out for my family and my sanity.
I'm not trying to be greedy, I'm not so full of myself that I think I can just make unreasonable demands.. I am worth every penny of what I'm getting and (according to their own HR department earlier this year) a full two dollars an hour more to start. I will not be stuck in the same position I was where I was woefully underpaid and abused. I will perform to expectations and likely exceed them. Finally: every dollar an hour translates to $2,080 a year gross. I walked in expecting $x and they turned around and asked me to do the job for $8,000-12,000 less per year.

Um... let me think... FUCK NO.

I'm looking at a buck an hour less than I'm making now ($2080 less a year) but I'm moving to what might be able to make up for it in terms of environment and enjoyability. It would have been nice to go up 2k-6k like I was expecting at the interview, but there will be time for that.

And if it fails to manifest I will pack up my stethoscope and comfy shoes and walk back out the door.
Dialing the agency on my way through the lobby.

You know, I should probably just cut and paste this to my blog...

So, Barkeep! A round for the house on me because I have a new job on Monday!
(Jumps behind the bar to tend it. Starts pouring)

Why not start your virtual weekend at 7:04 on Friday?!

STINKINGROSE

Friday, February 19, 2010 10:21 PM

To answer myself: because of the virtual hangover Monday?

I made it! I am free!

Now, on to wage slavery at a new location.

I'm debating whether I should go out and watch movies at friends' house or stay in and relax. It's snowy.
Hm.

Hope the new job works out, SR :)

I vote for staying home if it's snowy, but that's me and my dislike of the cold fluffy stuff lol.

For feeling like a jackass?

At least it means I haven't become hardened to the plight of others and developed an overblown sense of my own worth...?

If you don't look out for your family and sanity, you can't duck behind the couch when they approach and then THEY CAN FIND YOU!

Quiet corners of the basement work well, and crawlspace attics are very effective hiding places.

"Sanity bedamned, I'm for the closet!"

(Sometimes being deliberately obtuse fails to convey the thought behind it. I'm one of those absurd people who can find humor in misapprehension, passing the mental giggle along is occasionally beyond me. And thank you for your support.)

Bumping to keep the thread visible on the board.

(If you reply to yourself does it imply that you're talking to yourself again and you've finally started talking back?)

I've had to hold down both ends of a conversation before, but never on a conference call....

I was considering waiting longer to see how much you talk to yourself, but I decided to put you out of your misery and break the crazy.

But hey, don't give up on that conference call plan yet, there's a first time for everything.

I'm eating toast, playing flash games online and not doing my homework from 3 weeks ago... it's been a rough time dammit, I'm having toast and internets for a while longer!

STINKINGROSE

Sunday, February 21, 2010 5:38 PM

Just toast, or toast "with"..?

NAVYSEILS

Just toast. Well, it had some butter on it, but that's it. Toast needs nothing else, it's the ultimate snack food.

STINKINGROSE

Sunday, February 21, 2010 9:52 PM

That's buttered toast, then.

If you get really good bread you don't need to bother with "with".

I didn't want to continue inadvertently sounding like an idiot / bint toward someone I like and respect.

Didn't realize that meant I needed a hug or a fuck.

Noo I wasn't talking about you. It just seemed like a lot of the posts here have been ranty or snarky.

Maybe they weren't and I was just reading them wrong *shrugs*

Edit: Not that I myself couldn't do with either.... >_>

WOW are those the only options?? Hug or Fuck???

Heh, guess that depends on who the other party involved is... what if it was me? that would be less fun.

Good to see you blowing your lurky status though.

GLOMP!!!!

I'll take a hug AND a fuck! (But I'll take them from my husband.)

Isn't Steak & BJ day coming up? (The aggresively male backlash to Valentine's Day day). Could we start an alternative gender neutral holiday wherein we celebrate interpersonal relationships with "Happy Hugandafuck Day!"

NAVYSEILS

Seems fair enough, it's steak, everyone wants some steak.

We should also get boxes of candy then, but not the crappy assorted boxes with all the nasty stuff in them.

STINKINGROSE

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 12:21 PM

If anyone gives you a box of ribbon candy or allsorts without warning, you have my permission to become snippy, snarky, and belligerent.
Unless you like allsorts, in which case permission is withdrawn.
I know people who fear nougats in their holiday boxes. I think I'd have to find a seriously elderly beet flavored chocolate before I spat it out.

A drug rep dropped off a box of low-end assorted chocolates. They were in my office for all to share. Someone went through about three, biting into them and then throwing them away while I wasn't in the room. That is not only wasteful, it means three fewer candies for the others. THERE WAS A GUIDE ON THE BOX LID FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, IT WAS NOT A MYSTERY!!!
