Hugs for you, too.

I am going to have a couple months to find something else while I transfer knowledge and stuff, which is better than nothin'.

Well I never made it to work. Another case of inner ear vertigo struck me. Even with my wife driving I never made it half way. The "rolling hills" on the way to work did me in. Raised all sort of chaos. I was certain I was good to go when I left the house but the car made me a liar. So tomorrow I am working a half shift. I am glad my wife has a job so this doesn't sting as bad financially.

So we got our hands on some vertigo over the counter medication. It stops the spinning and has a nausea suppressant. It is a 24 hour pill so I am good to go for my half shift tomorrow.

Taira: Ha.

My sides are still sore from retching and coughing but I am feeling better. I could use some more sleep. Give you a guess what I am doing when I get home.

No, they've been saying things, and I've worked at making them happier, but there's just a fundamental disconnect between what makes me happy and what makes them happy.

My mom insisted i needed a dryer so she gave me hers since she is selling the house. Hers is a 3 prong dryer. My apartment has a 4 prong outlet.

I could fuck with changing a cord and everything. Or I can put it on Facebook and sell it for $80. And just continue hanging my laundry to dry.

It was only in my house for about 4 hours. cool

Hey Morven. Bummer for you but glad to see you back in the thread.

Gabe: Heh nice.

I am home and feeling less weary. Though I did have a weird moment towards the end. I was sitting at my desk then all of sudden my phones patrol alarm went off. I suddenly realized I was walking my patrol and could not recall how I got to the 2nd floor. I am either still out of it or the meds are fucking with me.

Yay morven! I m glad that your let-go at amazon is on mutual terms. i hope the next job fits you better!

I just had the crappiest 24 hours ever cobbies.

threw out my knee two minutes before brielles BFF showed up for their first slumber party. Chicken took forever to cook and was still raw - ish at 7 pm so we had leftover pizza. At 7:45 greg started coming down with the manflu, leaving me to wrangle 2 high-strung toddlers by myself with a gimpy leg. Bedtime at 8:30, actual sleep happened for the girls around 10:30, after camcam bit brielle out of desperation (camcam was really tired, Brielle kept snatching her favorite blanket, I finally made a floor bed for Brielle and they slept finally) Now they were up since 7:30 am, my knee still hurts boyo is still moaning in bed. Pickup at 10:30, because I assumed we'd all be healthy and having pancake breakfast. We barely survived the morning. I'm so disappointed. We were supposed to go Christmas tree shopping today too at this neat little tree farm. I'm sad.

I'm both looking forward to, and dreading, next weekend. It's one of my best friends in the unit's going away party and last weekend he's in the Army. We're gonna tear it up on 6th Street one last time, so that's gonna be awesome. But... I won't see him anymore. :/

This job was actually starting to turn normal, and I thought I was coming out the other side of a difficult transition, but then it came crashing down tonight. I had been learning my way around the apartments we serve, and getting a lot of hotels and houses, but tonight I went back to mostly groping in the dark through the most confusing ones. About ten my mom texted to ask if I had time to talk, and I had to tell her I expected to be d working until at least one, and the depression about how little time this job leaves for anything but being a hermit came back.

Finally, on my last delivery, I was sent on a quick double that turned into a nightmare where I got lost in the first complex, accidentally gave them both orders, came back to find they'd already started eating both, had to work with them to answer the store's questions about what kind it was to they could remake it, came back to the store to get the remake, got lost in the second complex, and rather expectedly, got no tip.

Left with the most I've ever gotten in tips though. Almost all of them were small, but there were so many of them.

Did a second Christmas parade last night. Sad to say but it was a letdown after the one we did last week, mostly because we were event #67 instead of #16, so by the time we finally started moving (almost 90 minutes after start time) all the kids were bored and fidgeting, and we couldn't watch anyone else's displays.

Came home, played a round of Forbidden Island with the wife and middle kid, then started playing Thief around 2300, thinking, "I've only got one and a half missions left to beat the game." I beat the game, and realized there was sunlight coming in the bathroom window and it was 0730. So I'm at work on about four hours of interrupted sleep.

A mountain of work to get done before heading back to the UK for Christmas. Just keep pounding on. Old weight's shooting up again because I keep making juice and crisp runs to avoid work. Fuck sake.

Tuef: agreed. My only MAJOR gripe was Jane; the character she was supposed to be would have so much better. I'd have loved to see Dina Meyer as Molly Millions.

@Mark: Gibson refused to give them the rights to the character because he hated the script.

Anyhow for all you readers the second Amber novel goes up for free download starting midnight tonight. Consider it a Holiday gift. Now none of you have an excuse. :)

drunk: I'd heard. Still, what coulda been...

Also, during my ACAP stuff for getting out of the Army I've been looking up stuff for MSU, and for the degree I want to get I have to take calculus and physics. Blegh, man I don't wanna.

Still, after I get a bachelor's of sciences in microbiology, I'm probably gonna go after a master's of sciences in microbiology after that. That way I can get them good microbiologist jobs AND I can come up with, and sing, a "Master of Sciences" version of "Master of Puppets".

Ok my cobbies. Remember my candy question a while back about the mystery chewy fruit candies?

They are back for this Christmas season.

Here are the unwrapped candies That is all the flavours I have seen.

The wrappers are a wax paper affair with a firm but chewy fruit flavoured candy inside. All of them are the same colour
