Sometimes I wish I could just turn off my brain. I just swallowed a small something that was floating in my glass. When I first saw it, I was sure it was a sesame seed. Not fifteen seconds later, I have convinced myself that I just swallowed some sort of larvae.

Jimmy's poison oak is bad. According to WebMD, he's having an allergic reaction. I came home this morning to discover that the area behind his right knee is skinless and weeping. It hurts more when he stands up and moves, and we were both hungry, so I went to make breakfast. He asked for the refrigerator cinnamon rolls, which we have, but I ( Read more... )

Awake at 2 p.m. again. WTF?!

This is day four of aches, chills, and fever accompanying what seems to otherwise be a simple head cold. Of course, now we're on to the coughing. When I cough, T. Rexes look around to see what's making that freakish racket. I called off last night, because I just couldn't imagine being out there in the cold and rain all night long. With this in ( Read more... )

So: on Thursday the supervisory staff met with our new branch manager. She informed us that as of the 28th of December the client is cutting back hours at our job site. Unless something momentous happens, we are going from three full shifts of supervisors to one ( Read more... )
