Oh, a new worst thing. I was just looking through my desk drawer and found a notebook I didn't even recognize that obviously belonged to my longterm ex-girlfriend. Among a lot of notes from work and stuff, there's is a "Portland To-Do List" and one of the item is "have a one-night stand" and I am trying to figure out if it's from when we were together or when we weren't and it's kind of making me crazy, not that I really think she was faithful to me anyway...it shouldn't bother me a year later but it's totally getting to me.

Jeeze, who writes something like that down especially when they're in a relationship

Well, I didn't find it surprising exactly, she was a total crasshole. And I'm not 100% sure it was written when we were in a relationship but would really not be surprised if it were. And not surprised that she would think nothing of leaving a notebook that said that in my apartment. It's just making me feel gross right now.

Painz! Oweeeeee

my sister would have been 32 today. i miss her and often feel silly for posting things like this but i just want to share my sister's memory...i also want to remind people not to drink and drive. she was killed at 22 by a drunk driver...

missmuffcake, that's not silly at all. Hugs to you.

the paper i'm editing is about giving hepatitis c to tree shrews. tree shrews!




*weeps*

"The findings are consistent with osteoporosis... moderate to high fracture risk."

Aw shiitake.

missmuffcake, I'm so sorry- I can't imagine how much you miss her. Hugs from Idaho.

I'm sorry to hear this. I also have relatives who have been killed by drunk drivers. It makes me sick when people take drunk driving lightly.

My uncle was killed on his way to see me in the hospital on the day I was born, so the drunk driving message has always been a part of my life. What an unfair way for your sister's life to end, and how unfair to take her away from you, your family, and all her friends.

:(

Oh DRC, I'm sorry. That's awful, awful news.

Another day with no appointments. I had one on the schedule, called to see what was up, and she'd forgotten about it. That's two days this week I've driven to work and come home without making any money.

Oh, creep, that sucks. I guess there is no way to charge no-shows?

It's not uncommon to make repeat no-shows pay in advance to book an appointment, but I haven't really encountered any at this place yet, and my schedule is rarely full anyway. It's interesting how many no-shows will say that someone is in the hospital. I always say "I'm sorry to hear that," but I'm really starting to get suspicious. I'm a terrible person, probably.

Stomachache leads to hunger, hunger leads to me scarfing food, scarfing food leads to hiccups, hiccups lead to stomachaches.

YODA HAS A forking STOMACHACHE AGAIN, AND HICCUPS TOO snarl

I can't tell if I'm acting this way because of the pain, or that the pain happens to coincide with this timing in my life, but I sort of feel like I've given up on making friends and lovers. In a way this feeling could be a good thing because I feel less desperation, but I don't really like the feeling of ambivalence in myself.

I'm sad because I miss eating food and I want Jamaican food and chewy fried Jamaican dumplings and things :(

I'm exhausted.

still not kicking this cold, and nervous about interview tomorrow. But also, yay, interview tomorrow! Conflicting emotions are conflicting.

That is horribly sad. I am sorry for you and your family. I am sorry for everyone who has lost someone to drinking and driving. I wish the laws were more serious for DUI offenders. I also wish people would take drinking and driving more seriously. I see people take it as a joke at times.


Thanks everyone who said kind words...

Keep up the awareness missmuffcake; I do think it helps.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Both interviews went great. Had good chemistry with manager. I had every requirement they needed. Other person got the job. Getting discouraged, as I really really need more income.

ahhh we have this really awkward situation in the shop where someone switched departments and subsequently really should not be in the print shop and/or using our facilities, but this person is also a real good friend of mine and like, I sure as fork don't want to kick her out, but that is a huge double standard because I would kick anyone else out and it's so silly and I guess sort of just an issue of me having to nut up and kick her out of the shop, but her being there when she knows she shouldn't be is putting me in a REALLY shitty position.
buh!
