the big long post that I finally have time to make
Skrillex - "Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites" With lyrics! Yup, dubstep lyrics.
I took my vacation pay and am having "stress leave" this week because apparently my hair has decided it's too stressed out and a big chunk (like the size of a the bottom of a pop can now) has decided to bail. I don't know why now though, I mean, my life is relatively stress free compared to how massively shitty it's been in the past. As well, I've lived through crap in the past that generally leaves people fuct up beyond functioning. The thing is, the pattern of loss (or lack thereof) fits stress related alopecia. It's not thinning or even, just a patch. Oh, and there's no scabbing so it's not ringworm :) I dunno, I'm gonna go to the walk in clinic tomorrow. I took the time (I've been working pretty much non-stop the last two weeks and any free time has been spent while Jayson is home) to look up if there might be a link to all the iron I've been supplementing with (which the doctor told me to) and it could actually be iron toxicity. I'm hoping I've sorted the iron issue and that's just what it is **fingers crossed**. I booked off this week before I read about that though. That's ok, I've got lots of stuff to do. For the last little while I've been sloooowly working on setting up a point of sale system for rockies as they got totally screwed by the company that handles their computers and point of sale equipment. This company is totally predatory and just freaking awful! It's going really slowly due to a) my total lack of skill whatso ev-ar! and b)never having more than an hour or so on the computer to myself anymore!! I'm kinda excited about this though because if it works, it will not only be helping to promote Debian(base distro I'm using of course) as most people behind the bar stare at the POS monitor for hours on end while drinking alone, but it will also help mom and pop restaurants and pubs compete on a little more level playing field with big chains who can easily pay super high IT costs. Actually, Jayson has been the most awesomest roomie evar and went to Windsor this weekend so I could have some time totally alone after work and days staring now. I don't think he gets that I can't handle socializing for long periods of time, but it's sweet that he helped. Speaking of Jayson being sweet, er, I'm considering asking for another favour. Perhaps, I dunno. I'm seriously wondering if my celibacy might be contributing to the whole hair thing. Thing is, I just don't want to have sex. Haven't for a few years now and kinda happy that I don't need to. Yeah, maybe I've got some hormonal problems too. I mean, it was a choice to go celibate but maybe it's been effecting me in subtle ways I didn't notice all along. I really can't ignore chunks of hair falling out though. I dunno, I'll see what the doctor says. Yeaah. So this is where i am in my 36th year, experimenting poorly with trying to get a GNU/Linux based POS system up, on stress leave (not even freaking paid:( )from work and sitting here with nori on my head hoping my hair stops falling out. I can't say "not what I expected" because i really did not expect to live this long when I was younger, but..well...not so bad really. Time for lj at least!:) I smell really bad. I've got freaking seaweed on my head.
