The root canal went fine. They numbed half my face so I didn't feel a thing. It makes me anxious to hear high-pitched drills screeching in my mouth, because I just know that they're grinding down my tooth to a little nub. Twenty-two years old and already I have pretty much a fake tooth in my mouth. Ibuprofen was able to handle the pain just fine ( Read more... )

The visit to the dentist went more poorly than I had hoped. I need a root canal. Also, I have a few cavities. Also, I grind my teeth in my sleep and need a mouth guard. If they did all the dental work on me that they want to, it would cost more than 3 years' pay. Fortunately, I don't give a fuck about the cavities or tooth-grinding, so it's only ( Read more... )

There's an opening at the Library of Congress for the exact job I learned about during my externship in DC last spring. It's not an exciting job, scanning and cataloging old photos and documents. It is something, however, that I absolutely could do. With a bit of training, I would unquestionably be capable and competent in performing the job's ( Read more... )

It's summertime and the living is easy. As far as I can recall, it's been an uneventful week here. I did have a performance evaluation this week. I'm doing a great job and the website looks good, but I need to clean the tool area more often. Sure, whatever. I asked for more work since I'm not always busy here, and they said they'd think about it. I ( Read more... )

I was at the New Orleans Zephyrs (triple-A minor league farm for the Mets) game when I noticed Target Toss Pro: Bags, a video game in the baseball stadium between Galaga and Crazy Taxi. The goal of this game is to, by rolling a trackball, throw a beanbag into a hole on a wooden platform some feet away. You have to account for wind and such, but let ( Read more... )

It's been another week at work. I'm not entirely sure what I did; probably the same as always. It's all blurring together. I do know, however, that I am tiring of the workplace drama. There is always some issue chapping someone's ass. We're all having another meeting on Monday to straighten things out, and I imagine that I will have to, for the ( Read more... )

My main complaint this week is that my lady-friend is gone. Yes, J is back safely in the frozen tundra of Ohio. We had a great time overall, and a pretty bitchin' time this last weekend. We were going to give Magazine Street another shot on Saturday. We ran into a work acquaintance on the way to the ATM, one of my YAV site coordinators while at a ( Read more... )

It's been pretty awesome having J around. She cooks for me, which is very nice. We've also gone out to eat a few times, various fast food places, the sushi joint in Slidell (pretty decent), and Lee's Hamburgers, which was rather good ( Read more... )
