How do you feel today?

[Menolly]

...tee-hee...

I can't help much then.

[Seareach]

no...but thanks Menolly! I appreciate your attempt!

[Cagliostro]

Okay, today I'm grumpy. I got an email and phone message from this place sounding like they want to hire me on the spot. I call to confirm, and have gotten zero response back from them. So the job still isn't confirmed, so I haven't put in my two weeks. Now I'm starting to get nervous that maybe they are taking it back. I dunno what to do. Frustrating. Well, I guess I'll just be patient. I just wish I knew now. Dammit!

[Cameraman Jenn]

Hang in there Cagbro. I am sending positive thoughts your way.

[bloodguard bob]

Chin up cag. Remember the bureaucracy of hiring late in the week. You'll surely hear monday.

[Damelon]

Yeah they're too busy thinking about what they are going to do this weekend, Cags. Get after them on Monday.

Looks like the gingerbread man is sporting a little cellulite. Not to mention he looks a little deranged. Cracks me up.

He kind of looks like Mr. Bill after the steamroller to me.....

[Worm of Despite]

I feel super! Went to my college's Convocation. Just an activity day, where we celebrate the beginning of the year (or bemoan it, as is often the case).

[Phantasm]

I'm feeling like a jakey*.
Father in Law is visiting from South Africa (he's been on a round the world trip and this is his last leg before he goes home). He's gonna be here for a month, and the wine/whisky/beer is flowing freely.

So much for the stone in weight I've lost, looks like that will be put back on again with the drink. Oh well, there's still time for me to lose it again before we spend New Year in South Africa.



* - Jakey (noun) - a drunkard who looks like a bag of shit thrown from the top of a very high building.

I'm tired! My brain is on go-slow today!

But it's a wonderful day here (sun is out, warm breeze...and it's not even Spring yet...well...I don't think it is...is it?!). ANYWAY: we're all off to the beach this afternoon. Bit of sun and surf. Hard life!

I feel great. My new manager at the theatre is the only other competent one there, besides Brannon (my old manager who got fired.) I didn't think she would be a candidate for the new Usher manager position, because she used to handle money only.

What this means is that my job is still good. All I need to do now is find a SECOND job, rather than a NEW job.

WOO HOO!

[Menolly]

That is wonderful news Balon.

Although I didn't know you felt you needed a second job.

[emotional leper]

I'm horribly angry. My grandmother has been in the Hospital for the past two weeks due to an Atrial Fibrulation and a Vegetation in one of her valves. She was released from the Hospital back to her Nursing Home at noon Friday, and was being rushed back to the ER at around 6 PM. The reason? She was so severely dehydrated the EMTs thought she was having a heart attack.

I only got to spend a few minutes with her in the ER, but her Vital Signs Monitor showed that her HR was hovering around 140, and her Resps were 10-14.

What I want to know, is how did she go from being 'stable,' to 'so severely dehydrated she presented as a heart attack' in 6 hours, when she'd been in the Hospital for TWO WEEKS?

*fumes*

OTOH, her Attending at the ER was really hot.

[Menolly]

Oh, EL. I am sorry you and your Mom are going through this. You were missed here on the Watch the past couple of days.

[CovenantJr]

I'm drunk. But not drunk enough, damn it!

*hits up Bernard Black for a drink*

[Seareach]

Sunday mornings are my sleep in morning so at least I feel like I'm a little more rested than I usually do. But BAH! At the moment my life feels like it's full of misunderstandings and relentless clarification to people what I mean: got an email from a friend who is now going through the process of trying to justify who they are to me when I never actually said what I said in order to start this kind of dialogue! Sometimes I just say things in order to explain myself (who I am) better to people and not as a means to make other people feel bad about themselves.

Sometimes I feel like no matter what I do and how careful I am I'm misunderstood over and over and over again. I thought my friend knew me well enough to know that what I'd said was simply a dialogue (a way for them to understand me better), that everything I said had nothing to do with me rejecting who they were, that there was no hidden intent behind my words. It appears that I may have been wrong. And now, instead of remaining rested, I'm going to have to spend the day pouring energy into defusing a situation that could very well blow up in my face.

[balon!]

I hear ya Sea. There are just some people who can't destinguish what the difference is between serious REAL statements, and statements that have a side-connection to explain a viewpoint.

[Loredoctor]

I am feeling very much better. It looks like I am almost rid of the damn flu, and I will be going back to work tomorrow.

[drew]

FINAlly..eh?

[stonemaybe]

Feeling good. Sun is shining for a change, I've decided not to cut the grass, and a lovely pub not too far away has got a cider and cheese thing going, which we'll be heading to in about an hour.

Yum.

Edit: The cheese was too expensive, all the interesting ciders had sold out, but the sun still shone and we had fun.....
