And things cock up. Again.
WTF is going on NOW, LJ? *sigh* You won't let me log in from the regular page, I have to do it by commenting on comments, and even then sometimes you kick me off.

So. Things have fucked up yet again, thereby annoying me greatly. To wit:
- Work has decided not to give me a much-needed day/s off, so now I'm working a 10-day stretch in a row, thus increasing the chances that I will be utterly burned out by the time I DO get a day off. Increasing my displeasure is the fact that I am apparently starting on another Rotten Migraine, so the hours, which drag like molasses even at the best of times, are going to be downright intolerable. X_x
- Found out from my mom last night that my dad had something of a health scare and wound up spending a few days in the hospital. (He gets out today, or is supposed to) He has some kind of heart arhythmmia (don't know how it's spelled offhand), which isn't severe - they discovered it, I believe, some years back when he had to go to the hospital for a kidney stone. It's manageable and his doctor keeps an eye on it, but when he went to the VA recently for a checkup they found it was doing something oddball again and the doctor there (who wasn't one of Dad's regulars), from the sounds of it, overreacted, called an ambulance and sent my dad straight to the emergency room. They more or less kept him for observation, but the verdict from dad's regular doctor is that this was not that necessary. I shudder to think of what this is going to cost and we're all hoping that the VA, Mom's (pitiful) insurance and Dad's Medicare will eat the bulk of the expenses. (I reiterate: Anyone *coughRepublicanscough* who thinks we don't need healthcare reform and a better system of medicine for everyfuckingbody is a complete fuckwad buttpickle.)
Displeasure, let me show mine. X_x
On the good news, have possibly made a friend at work. One of my coworkers and I got to talking about food and German ancestry (he's Austrian; the German is on my side). Said coworker is also the same one whose cologne makes me happy every time I get a whiff of it. It would be nice to have a friend down here...
