I called a friend that I work with, and she can give me a ride when I get the all- clear from the doctor to go back. She was happy to hear from me, because no one knew what happened to me. I offered her 50 bucks and she said "no, no, no" I said 20? And she said no. We've only been friends since Christmas! I was thinking how nice of a person she is ( Read more... )

I called the park office where we live because our water pressure was zero today, and they said they are repairing a water main. Should have been done in an hour. So an hour and a half later, dirty water. I flushed the toilet, and now we have black water. Now what? If the pressure is not right and still dirty at 2:00 I'm calling them back. I had to ( Read more... )

Well, I got approved for my disability at work, and will be back by the 27th of August pending the doctors' approval. So if I still have problems, I made my supervisor aware that I may not be back and switching jobs. Like I said earlier, they won't be saving jobs anymore in hopes that the person gets better, which he is aware of that since the new ( Read more... )

Waiting to hear back from a caseworker today about work. I'm nervous, yet detached too. I'm a wee bit ticked that a guy has had paperwork in for the past three years, and has only been there for a few weeks each year due to back problems. Now the contract has changed, so people can't do that anymore. I understand it cuts down on the game players, ( Read more... )

My sister called. Now I've had a second blast from the past. First last weeek, Sheeve and I are discussing work and I said I worked at ICC in 1989 or so, proofreading patents. That's where she works now, but it's Reed Technologies. My ex's mom and he worked at the one in Fort Washington. So my sister calls and tells me my niece is sleeping over her ( Read more... )

We have most of our stuff packed for Pennsic. Tonight we take our totes to John's, which are going on the truck. Most people are going for Land grab. I'm sort of glad to only go for a week this year. The first week is usually nice and quiet, or it's supposed to be, but it isn't always. There's always been some sort of drama. And I'd feel bad ( Read more... )

Finally some rain. I took my paperwork to work, and am still soul-searching. Although I know what I want to do. The money is good, but it's not a good place anymore- no chance for advancement anymore, they can move your worktime forward or back by one hour once a year, and move you to different days as needed. You can't even use your sicktime. That ( Read more... )

Can't sleep yet, although Dave is. I had to sneeze, but my ribs wouldn't let me, so it hurts real bad where the cartilege is. And getting my rocks off left me energized.
Thinking of going to the meeting tomorrow. Today I finished the book my Mom lent me, and I have one I bought over a week ago. Feeling more optimistic.

I feel less wigged out than I did this morning. I saw my doc and got my paperwork filled out, hopefully all the i's are dotted and the t's crossed. I was talking to my boss, and my old boss, who helped my outlook on things. I also talked to E, and we might hang out next week. Still keeping an open mind on Pennsic. If my muscles start repairing and ( Read more... )

Very scared. I feel worse instead of improving, and the urinary tract infection is worse, despite the antibiotic a few weeks ago. How am I supposed to work! I will need money a few weeks from now. Dave and I are doing all we can to stay together, but he can't bankroll me, and I wouldn't want him with me if I get worse. So if I have to move back ( Read more... )
