I'm freaking looking forward to my first day off in some time tomorrow. The only downside is I'm out of Paxel, so if my doctor didn't remember to send the pharmacy my refill the day could get interesting and I could spend it playing phone tag instead of reading Shirley Jackson. Guess which I would prefer to do ( Read more... )

God, I hate this freaking library. Ackerman 'twas the Valhalla that I will wistfully look back upon before Ragnarok destroyed it in a flurry of needing to look modern. All it means to me is a lot more stupid people coming in with dumb questions and the occassional homeless person shitting in the elevator. Whoopie-Fuck. 107 million dollars and ( Read more... )

Ugh. I do not feel well. Though if anything, this prolonged illness has helped me to overcome my fear of needles, as countless have thus far been plunged into me and tomorrow more will do the same ( Read more... )

Fingers crossed everyone. I dropped an application for the Ohio Historical Society as a Reference Assistant. The job meets my minimal salary requirements, is basically a government job so it has good benefits, and I easily meet or exceed all of the requirements. I'm running out of time, so hopefully this will work out.

I'm thinking about calling my doctor again and seeing if we can get anything pushed forward. I carried six empty bins up the hall today at work and almost passed out, quite literally, when I got back with them. Usually I can carry 2-3 full bins, depending on the weight of the books. I'm getting weaker with less and less stamina as time goes on, ( Read more... )

I think I'm at an emotional rock bottom right now. I'm really not feeling anything. Gabby's laptop broke this morning and our basement has about two inches of standing water, and all I could manage was a fiddle-dee-dee. No anger, no sadness, no bitterness. Just a hollow feeling in my chest. I've been having that feeling as the day goes on. I' ( Read more... )

So I didn't get the Franklin job, which means that I basically have no more prospects up here in Columbus. I have floating apps, but nothing else has even contacted me for an interview. I'm basically up shit creek and there is no paddle in sight.

Well, I went to the hospital, finally, to ask about all these things going wrong with me. The heart and vision problems are all stress related, no big surprise. But they're not sure what's going on with my internal bleeding, despite of the half a days worth of tests they did to me. There are basically three options ( Read more... )

Things still haven't gone anywhere with anything, and I'm out a decent amount of money because my tires finally needed replacing today. This setback pretty much guarentees that we won't be going to Lakeside with Gabby's family, and probably won't be able for afford Dragoncon this year, unless I get the Franklin or equivalent job fairly soon. I'm ( Read more... )

Things have been stressful as of late, and I'm just trying to roll with them as much as I can. I've been having chest pains and blurred vision and have wondered if I should see someone about it, but figure that would just be over-reacting. One way or the other, things will have to calm down soon ( Read more... )
