nyar~
*chuckles* I've been nudged, so here I am ^^;
Quite a number of interesting things have been keeping me busy recently, hence the lack of my online presence. So here's the low-down:
Don't know if I said in a previous post, but yes! I have a job now~! *does a dance* I'm going to be working in a hotel, once that hotel is finished being built. I'll be night audit on Fridays and Saturdays, which suits me just fine. I'm tempted to ask if I could take on the full-time position, but I want to get used to my duties before asking for more hours. The people I'm going to be working with are awesome and it's going to be a learning experience for all of us as most of us have never worked in a hotel before.
My only complaint is the uniform... we have to wear "casual" office, as in a long sleeve business-like shirt instead of the polo that we could've gone with. *shrug* but I'm getting paid 8.50 an hour, so I can't complain overly much. I'm nervous and anxious at the same time, 'cause I want to stick with this job for as long as I possibly can. There's room for me to advance and eventually travel if I get high enough in the "food chain" as it were. ^_^ so here's hoping!
whoo~ so there's that bit of exciting news, now onto the next~
Yesh~ Health news... well I recently started having gallstone attacks and last week (Oct 7) I had my gallbladder removed via lapriscopic. I got to stay at my mom's hospital so it was a big relief for both me and my parents. I only stayed in the hospital for 24 hours before going home, and have been recouperating ever since. *rubs head* I just know I never want to go through surgery like that again. Here's the tale of horrors...
Pre-op was NOT fun. OMG was it a nightmare. I had to fast the day before and nothing after midnight, so I was extremely dehydrated. Anyone who has ever had blood drawn knows how painful it can be, and trying to put in an IV needle (which is longer and bigger than those used to draw blood) it's even worse. Then you compare it to the fact that I have small, deep veins that like to disappear and/or roll when you poke at them and I was very dehydrated while they were sticking me.... let's just say I'm black and blue from head to toe 'cause they stuck me 13 times before they got a needle in just so they could put me under. But the surgery went as expected, but the post-op we learned some very interesting facts about my physioligy.
Apparently the type of paralytic they used to relax the muscles in my throat so they could put the tube in requires an ensyme to break it down and flush it out of the system. I don't have that ensyme, so while most people would have woken up a couple hours after surgery, I didn't wake up until i think about 8 hours later when it started wearing out on its own. And they had to keep me intubated the entire time so I wouldn't sufficate. Fuck, I never want to wake up intubated ever again. It's so frigg'n uncomfortable and leaves your throat raw for days afterwards.
But I'm fine now, only sore in a few places. My only grevences currently are that I can sleep on my side because it hurts too much, I get tired really easily, and I'm constantly having to hold my gut because if I don't it pulls on my stitches and hurts like a bitch. I also can't drive myself anywhere for this next week, when I get cleared by my doctor this comming fridday. I expect I'll find other things to bitch about later on, but all's well that ends well, I suppose.
anyway~ onto other topics~
Holloween is coming soon~ yay!! I'll be having small rituals all day, being the solitary that I am. I hope to see friends and whatnot on that day. I've been invited to a party, but I don't know if I'll go as it will be populated by staunch Christians/Catholics, and I really don't want to have to reign in my celibrations because their delicate paletes. *shrug* But we'll see what happens. I still plan on hanging out with a couple friends that are actually interested in participating in my rituals, or atleast watching as I complete them. That's one thing I'll be sure to thank the gods for on the Sabbat. Friends who accept and support my choice and while they themselves might not participate, they encourage me to do it anyway because they know it'll make me feel good.
Costume wise, I doubt I'll dress up this year. I've dressed up a number of times these past months, and I just feel like celibrating traditionally this year. I might ask a friend to do my make up for me, as I'd like to look nice instead of my 2-bit-whore look I usually end up with before giving up.
I believe that's all I have going at this point. No geek corner this update, too lazy to look up some geeky thing to share. Though I will give a small squee for my DS. I love it so. I hope I don't wear it out too quickly. I'm hoping to get a PS2 with my first couple of paychecks, just so I can finally finish FF7. I know there's a PC version, but it's not the same!
Anyway! 'Till next time~
