(no subject)
So, now that I haven't updated in...err..months, I guess it is time to check in. I started classes yesterday...lots of work, but grades are spaced out, so if I mess up it's not so bad as when I have 3 grades. I will survive, I suppose.
Still working at Camelot. I got beat up by an 8 yr old there, so I was on workman's comp for a month. Despite the crazy pain, it wasn't bad. Beth was home, and we ended up going to the beach! Much fun. I am back at work on light duty, which means I am working third shift. 10:30 pm to 7 am. It sucks very badly, but at least I am getting a full paycheck. We'll see how they continue to treat me, because I have a feeling that they might not treat me so well, even though it was not my fault. But I don't like to dwell on the negative so much.
One thing I would like the rant about: Advertising for Food on Television.
See, Britt is on a self imposed...strict (for her) diet. And it doesn't help to watch ads for KFC, Sonic, Chili's. I have no, zero, zilch, nada willpower. So why do these companies have to make it so hard? I mean, I've stuck to it for 5 days now (BIG deal for me), but I am miserable! On the same wavelegnth, the Beacon had an article yesterday about "The Freshman 15" and how to avoid it, etc. Well, stuck in the same freakin' paper was a full page of coupons from McDonald's!! It's like, "Hey students, we want you to eat right, but we're going to shove cheap fast food in your face instead of making it easy for you to actually eat right." Blah. Now I know how alcoholics feel, but at least every other commercial isn't for Everclear. And goodness, I've never seen a commercial for crack. Yes, the crackheads have it easy, easy I say!
So, maybe I am going to be grumpy for a little while. As soon as I drop a few pounds, I might let myself eat again and not be such a bitch. Until then, keep the cookies away from me and watch your fingers, for I am forbidden to eat Vienna sausages.
