hi

i just called in sick
i'm felt so crappy when i woke up.

sore throat, headache, stuffy.

i'm sure i'll be fine tomorrow.
it's just one of those things where i know if i don't slow down NOW, i'll really get sick.

i've got some overtime this week(thur) that will now just be making up this missed time.
gonna try to sign up for some on fri, so i'll at least get a couple hours at time and a half.
dunno, if i'm going to be able to swing any OT the next week, what with tess' wedding.
and my other thing.

oh well .... at least i won't be short money next pay period because of today.
fucking hell, one day is a huge chunk.
i wonder if since i took today off if it means i can do some overtime on wed too.
since it won't be violating the too many days in a row thing.
hmmm

i had a weird dream

and here is a quote from the dream:

"we need to experience the universe fully, but not enough people TASTE the universe"

this girl was walking around, with this block of stuff and insisting we eat some.
it looked like a big eraser
she was babbling about the philosophy of Douglas Adams

so we did eat some
turned out the stuff was pretty good.
anyway, was strange

oh more thing

thanks to n00dleboy
i have finally had krystal burgers

i had just brought tomato sooop for lunch yesterday
hadn't really had anything for breakfast, just a little of the soooop so i'd fit in the container
and then i was drinking a lot of water.
so i was barely making it to my breaks.
i know i can go pee between breaks, but then i gotta log back in, set my shit back up,
blah blah blah.

so i was standing by the microwave while my sooop was heating and looking in the food vending machine.
i saw, several, two little square things in one dispensy slot
what the hell?
pushed the buttons to move the thingy around to see them better.
"ohhhhhh it's those little tiny square burgers that cryo was talking about!"

(well actually i think he was talking about white castle, and according to sctuff online krystal is a knock off of them)

"hmmmm $1.50 ... DRAT! i've got no money ... wait what's this in my pocket. ...."
"oh, 75 cents, oh wait! one of these isn't a quarter, it's the susan b. anthony dollar i got from n00dleboy!"

anyway, just enough to get two tiny, square, cheeseburgers.
went very well with my soooop, and the solid food in stomach kept me from taking any extra bathroom breaks.
=D

god, i'm so glad i called in
i feel shitty
not overly sick really, just run down.
somebody replace my battery.

i think it's been 4 weeks nearly since last call in sick
a "call, no show"
is either one occurance or half one, i disremember.
anyway, a half an occurance is 'forgiven' for every 2 weeks of perfect attendance.
so if it was half one i got, then i'm clean again.
if it was a whole one i might be clean or at least nearly.
i should just make sure not to miss for the next 6 weeks just to be safe.

i want to be occurance-free in feb, in case i can't get the schedule change i want and i have to occurance a day or two off.
i'm doing good in my performance reviews (toby will think that an odd phrase because i'm not calling it the offical phrase heh)
and i'm doing good at 'compliance' no dress code violations, proper breaks of the proper length, following all procedure.
so i don't think i'm at risk at all to get an occurance for anything other than attendence.

*sigh*

so, debgirl001 saying that i made her want sooop
made me think of soop again

and also, she posted a bit about her father again.
i should call my father.
make sure he's doing allright.
=\

i'll go do that now before i look for soup
he's all nifty with a toll-free number ;)
1- 800 - eris dad
heh, that would be cool

=D

called curtis
talked to his wifey

he was on the other line with one of the renters
he's been managing some of his mother's properties for her

so i gave wifey number here, hopefully he'll call back
he doesn't like calling my mother's house, but i'm the only one here

ok, look for soooooop
=D

cook cook cook

found tomato rice sooooop
then saw spaghetti sauce

so i'm boiling some tiny "salad macaroni" and will put sauce on it

=)


oh, and i also UNloaded, then loaded the diswasher and it is now humming away
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


i always feel guilty when i take a sick day
even if i AM feeling shitty.

so i try to be productive.

haha

this is a great little film
even if i think the theory is a bit flawed it's a great little film
i laughed
i cried
i kissed some bandwidth (temporarily) goodbye

hehehe

(no subject)

the life and times off ....

talked to father
he is doing well
much better in fact, health-wise

i'm pretty sure that a lot of his problems were due to work stress
man didn't take a sick day in like 20 years or something crazy like that.

but now that he's in pseudo-retirement, and nearing real retirement he's got time to relax

however, his mother is not doing so well.
her tumor has begun to grow back, she's back in the hospital.
they've discussed chemo, but at this point, and at her age, and due to the type of cancer.
it's likely to harm her more than the cancer.

sound like they've been able to keep her fairly lucid and comfortable.
sounds like curtis is pretty much done worry-ing
and is just concerned about keeping her comfortable and happy
for the time she's got left.

it's odd to me that i may never see her again.
i should try to plan a visit when she's more lucid again for a while.
i've never been very close to her, and i'd really rather not see her all wastey and half dead
not how i'd like to remember her.

like i believe i've said before, having my father be upset is going to be more upsetting to me than her passing
i honestly don't know her all that well, she's rather the sort that if i'm not doing something that she can brag about.
then she'd rather not think of me at all.
that's fine, other grandkids have made accomplishments she can dwell upon.

hmm. this entry has ended rather badly.

well then

i'm waiting in a queue to download something time wastey that i shouldn't down load

stupid thing said "credit card information invalid FRAUD ALERT" so i couldn't sign up to download then cancel it
i'm 612 out of 671 in line at 74 mins remaining.

it is rain outside.

i'm going to go out to the room in the garage and watch tv and walk on the treadmill for ... say .... abut an hour
heh

;)

oh my!

dizzy and sweaty
walked on the treadmill for a half an hour
it claimed i burned 129 calories
how does it know that?

my knees hurt, stupid knees

oh dizzy!

i feel like i've been on a boat or something
it's very weird.

watching a silly movie on tv
i should go streach or something for a while,
if i just sit after all that walking and going nowhere i'll get stiff
(heh, i said stiff)

stupid thing i shouldn't download has got 50 mins left.

in commerical breaks....

did you know that i've never been to a batchelorette party?
and my best friend has been married twice even.

come to think of it, i know hardly any married people.
don't have much in common with the average marrieds
grg and i were talking about that a while back
most of our old group is married.
i haven't spoken to any of them in years
he has a whole new group of (un-married) friends.

odd that.

watching a stupid movie on oxygen
fucking opra (i can't spell her name)
making me watch her stupid channel
it's nearly over.
back out i go

well well

i'm posting too much
i missed the very end of my stupid movie. oh well, i'll imagine it had a happy ending

now i'm watching something on an educational channel about polygamy
in some african country.

and i think they're going to have something about gay weddings coming up too

hehe marriage is topical

i read somewhere that it's traditional to go naked to a geekgrrrl's wedding
suppose i should abide by tradition?

;)

GODDAMNIT!

my browser crashed as i was 14 mins away from being able to download
fucking hellfire

(no subject)

ok t0by be on aim now

well

i guess toby is still out being greesemunky

i forgot what i was going to say in this entry
oh yeah.

i did another 20 mins on the treadmill
i think it said burned 60 calories or something like that.

if you burn more calories than you eat, will you starve to death eventually?

GAH!

sleep now.
