My life is soo weird
If you know me at all, you already knew this.
For example, I am notorious for winning things on the radio. Concert tickets, movies, money, etc. I haven't paid for a concert ticket in over 7 years, maybe longer. It's some sort of weird luck. Said luck went away when I didn't have a job. This may have everything to do with the fact that I was depressed and didn't do anything while I was unemployed including not entering contests or listening to the radio but whatever because I'm employed again. Tuesday morning, I got a call from a local radio station telling me that I had won lunch for 10 from Famous Dave's bbq. They brought soo much food over that the entire office ate all afternoon and I still had enough for my parents to eat for dinner. WIN! Today, a local TV station e-mailed me to tell me that I've won 2 tickets to Saturday night's Shocker Basketball game. Now this is not something I would normally want to win because I could care less about Shocker sports events...except...since it's also an International Student outing, I can get paid time and a half for attending the game as long as I spend time with the international students during half-time and I can take a friend. WIN!
I just got over the flu. I spent most of last week in bed and though I read my flist I didn't comment on hardly anything and I didn't update. I slept most of that time. Really slept. Hard enough that my hips hurt each time I woke up since I sleep on my side. On the bright side, I was well rested since I kept trying to come to work (hello, poor!) and my boss kept sending me home (hello, contagious!). This caught me up on my missing sleep. Despite the increase of depression medication, my sleep issues remain pretty much level, 3-4 hours per night. This is not healthy but again, weird life. I saw the shrink again today and she's adding some melatonin to my diet and told me to call her if I'm not sleeping at least 6 hours a night by next week.
I had to drop a class at school. It's a pain but I missed two tests in a 4 tests, 1 final kind of class. Missing the classes and tests couldn't be avoided since I had extremely good reasons for missing but that kind of thing doesn't really work out come grades time and I could drop with a W instead of dropping my grade point average. Sadly, I may not pass the pass/fail/credit/no credit algebra class since I can't summon up enough energy to care or attend class or study for class or study for tests. This semester was a complete waste of time and money for me. I hope the Spring goes better. It doesn't feel like it could possibly go worse but that kind of statement has always led to bad things. *Looks to the horizon at the bad things rushing in my general direction*
My cousin is going to have a baby. Her son will be born on the 28th if he doesn't decide to come on his own a little earlier. This will be her second child though her first died a few years ago after being born extremely too early. The doctors told her that he weighs 6 lbs now so the rest of the time he spends in her just means he's gaining weight, which is soo good. I cannot wait to meet the little guy. I spent way too much money on his gift.
I am now officially the supervisor of 6 student assistants. I now know that one of them hates my boss and one of them hates one of the other assistants and one of them hates another staff member. Scheduling their work and assignments should be fun. They all seemed to like the idea of my structuring their time and work and making them accountable for stuff. This is something I've noticed lacking in my time here. I've basically told them that they have their work and I have mine but if they don't do their work that I'll get called on the carpet for it and that I find it unacceptable. Everyone sat up a little straighter after I said that. Didn't hurt me at all. This is quite shocking since I am the world's worst supervisor.
That's all. Sorry for not using an LJ-cut but I honestly didn't think I'd type this much and frankly I don't want to look up the directions for doing it.
