Yaaaawwwwwnnn.
Another overnight work post. I wasn't meant to work this shift, but someone called in sick, and it meant I got out of tomorrow/today's 12 hour day shift, and I hate day shifts, so I just leapt at the chance to work for 12 hours after being at uni for 10. Woooot! I'm getting nice pay for it.
But a few hours ago I got what is I think my worst animal bite ever. I've had worse injuries at work - I think the time I gave myself a black eye with a wrench takes the cake - and I've been mauled before by bigger scarier things. But fuuuuck, this cat bit my finger so deep I think it's teeth actually closed and touched each other, inside my finger. It swelled up super fast, throbbing like a foot that's been run over, and it's been oozing blood and lymph for the past few hours. I took some nurofen straight away and iced it for about 20 minutes, so it's been fairly okay wrapped up in a post surgical bandage... but I bet that when I wake up in the afternoon it's going to feel like a massive club of pain.
I cleaned it with betadine, wasn't brave enough to spray it with alcohol because it's so deep. So I know I have to go to the dr's today and get some antibiotics and probably another tetanus shot.. but it's a public holiday and I'm going to have to pay heaps! So very tempted to just scam some animal antibiotics from work. The cat wasn't too feral at least, as in likely to be diseased. Poor cat was just trying to stay alive, I don't blame it... but owwwww.
In other news! Uni is crazy busy, I'm only doing 2 units and I cannot fathom how anyone could do more. But I guess other people don't also work 30 hours a week and have a dog and try to see a million music gigs. But I'm enjoying it immensely for the most part.
I possibly may be seeing a boy. Not sure yet. We have had 1 date and some smooches. I like him, and I'm pretty sure he likes me, and we have real conversations, so I don't think it's progressing towards a just casual thing. We only have a couple of friends in common, and I don't know them that well, so it's like hanging out with an alien almost. So many pop culture and event and just people references he doesn't get! But that's fun too, learning new stuff, hearing different opinions. He's pretty damn cute too. And a plain skin... zomg!!! The potential! *rubs hands like Dr Evil* Has car and degree and still lives with parents but can't really judge on that front and plays in band and has good music and tv show taste. Except he doesn't like Black Books or Reel Big Fish. ALMOST DEAL BREAKERS. But not quite. So! We shall see what progresses.
And we have a new housemate and she's rad and Dewey has a playmate and they love each other and exhaust each other and I don't feel bad for not walking him heaps every day and yaaaaaaaaaaay no awkward house times. Plumber found a beer can down our shower drain today tho - what the fuck?! I reckon someone got drunk and had a few tinnies in the bath one time. I bet it was an emu export can.
Tell me things about you.
