allergies have been murdering.
i'm not real good on my medical knowledge, so this is going to be a hodge-podge of non-technical details, but my mother was diagnosed with auto-immune thyroiditis. being a woman automatically gives me, like, a 1 in 10 chance of getting this or some shit. having a mother with it drastically increased my chances, and having another autoimmune disorder (celiacs) also increases my chances. guess i'll be keeping an eye on my thyroid.
stress is murdering me. life is really no more stressful than normal. normally, i get stressed, i get time to relax, then i'm ready to get stressed again. lately, i've lost my ability to cope with the stress. i never get less stressed, so everything keeps adding up. it's mostly work-related stressed. uhg. it's killing me. i keep having outbursts at coworkers (and i only have a few coworkers, so i should probably stop that before they start rioting against me.)
i just can't take the disorder. we have rules, and nobody follows. i keep coming in and finding things on my desk with no notes and nobody knows why it's there. is it a return? is it ours? is it a customers? is it in inventory? is it not? does it need to go back on the shelf? does it even work? now, i can't imagine it would have been hard to put it where it goes, but that doesn't bother me - It would have taken maybe ten seconds at most to put a note on it saying why it's there. i don't even care that it's on my desk. i just care that i don't know why.
we have a checksheet of things we check at the end of every computer repair to ensure basic functionality. nobody follows it. which means we keep getting customers having to BRING THINGS BACK because something we should have checked doesn't work. i can't take this. this is the worse. this is completely unprofessional and completely avoidable, yet it just keeps happening. this company survives almost entirely on reputation, and we're going to lose that reputation in short time if this doesn't stop.
if this happens again, i'm going to begin taking every computer that's been repaired and testing everything on it. and i'll be pissed, because it isn't my job. and my coworkers will be insulted that i'm wasting my time on their repairs since they've 'done it right.'
fuck it. i'm not letting the only thing we really have going for us die. we're the knowledgable people, the friendly people, who actually do things right. that's why people come here.
we keep getting complaints about things not being done right, and even some about attitude.
sometimes i feel like i'm the only person who actually respects my workplace. i'm proud and honored to be here, and i don't want to start feeling otherwise. i can feel it seeping away.
uhg.
i've had a headache for days.
i need to take a few days off of everything and go somewhere far away and just forget about this shit, so i can learn to cope again. sadly, that isn't an option.
i bought some apple cider today, only to find that despite saying 'apple cider' on the bottle, it is distinctly apple juice like. there is no spice or pizazz. it's just fucking juice. waste of $2.50.
our profits haven't gone down or anything, so it isn't' having an impact on our company yet. i can't imagine it won't eventually though. (the lack of professionalism, not the cider. that just effects me. i really was looking forward to that cider though...)
there's a new restaurant in my neighborhood, which is always a point of excitement - Ya Halla. (sorry, all I could find was a facebook page.)
i was weary at first - it's built in an old wendy's, which right away gives an impression of what to expect. i figured it would be kind of a shabby diner kind of place.
wrong. this place is fucking awesome. they did an amazing job of turning it in to a fairly classy place. the portions are huge (enough for two meals in my case) and delicious, everything tastes fresh. even their non-Mediterranean food is amazing. (the chicken soup and french fries are both to die for.)
if you're in the toledo area, check it out. totally worth a visit. coffee was nummy, too. rice pudding was average.
i should probably go do some work or some shit.

Yesterday was my last day of peace of mind.
School starting marks the busy season at work. Our flow generally doubles from the summer months and you don't get much time to stop and breathe.
School starting also marks... School starting! 13 credit hours, five days a week.
It's like clockwork - Today, we're swamped. I get to spend my check on school supplies which I'll need to get on my lunch break. I have no days off, I have work or school or both, every day.
Ah well, summer was nice when it lasted.

my uterus, intestines, and sinuses are all heavily against me today. don't think i'll be moving very much.
feivel (rat) had started attacking lydia (rat + deaf) during meal time. that's no good. they will now be separated at night (they get fed before bed.)
lydia was cowering yesterday, so i opened the cage to make sure she was ok. she quickly ran in to my arms. it was cute, until she then jumped four feet to the floor and ran like hell. spent ten minutes attempting to get her without terrifying her, suffered a few lacerations in the ordeal. poor baby. she was very upset and wouldn't let me touch her. quite unlike her. she's much calmer today, probably because she has a full belly since i made ms. feivel stay the night in the carrier.
i want to cry my tummy hurts so bad. it hasn't done this in a while.
it is a weak and pathetic day.

Today will be a mishmash update. I'm distracted with fretting about college today, so I want to get my mind off of it.
Here is a list of all the webcomics and websites I read on a regular basis! This is probably not a valuable insight to my life.
Webcomics:
Amazing Super Powers
Cyanide and Happiness
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Snowflakes!
Nedroid Picture Diary
Not web comics:
F My Life
Gives Me Hope
PostSecret
Digg
Spamusement! forums
Facebook

Normally I have absolutely nothing to do at work and the tech is busy as fuck. Up until about fifteen minutes ago, I was busy as fuck and the tech has nothing to do. Now I have nothing to do too. That's ok.
There is a scary looking woman walking towards my door. Oh geez. I hate being able to see when people are going to come in. It gives me apprehension.
She went in to the salon instead.
I like to make stories. Long drawn out stories. Like, someone'll say "that woman has some weird glasses" and I'll ramble for twenty minutes about how she's taking part in a study judging peoples' reactions to obviously outdated fashion and her horn-rimmed glasses have bidirectional cameras in them and blablahblah. I do that all the time. Sometimes I do this with less ridiculous things, and people will accidentally believe me.
The joy of slow days at work. Jason and I have now both been reduced to cleaning.
I have an irrational fear of botflies.
Nestor just called from the Lucas County Fair because he needs an emergency pair of crimpers. I was going to run him a pair and be the hero, because I never get to be the hero, but Jason wouldn't let me take his car so now he gets to be the hero. Also, I'm hungry.
Yesterday was a tiredday. Not much happened. We were supposed to go out and have fun in celebration of our anniversary (which hasn't occurred yet) but we were both exhausted and allergy ridden. I'll have to try and make up for it.
Need to go cash my check. Rent's due. We always pay way early but checks fell on odd dates this month so we'll actually be paying on the date that it is due. Weird. We've never done that before. (we're normally one or two weeks early.) The landlord called because she was worried something was wrong because she's so used to this early payment thing.
I stopped biting my nails over a month ago. They got too long, all ripped off (except, like, two) so now they're short again. I find my desire to chew on them almost overwhelming. I'm trying so hard not to.
Ok. Gonna get going now. I've been working on this for hours and still don't have anything to say. Ah well.

Poll #1436721
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 4 If I had a website dedicated to photos and artwork, would you regularly view it? I'm thinking about making a website for photos - Just something simple. I'll have to, like, remember how to make websites. I want to have a comment system in place I think, but I'm not sure how I want to do it. *ponder* But, if nobody would bother to look at it, I think I'd still post photos, I just wouldn't work no a comment system.

It always makes me feel relieved when I think I have a problem and a medical professional confirms it. I think it's probably due to my history of being called a hypochondriac. Also, because then I know I can work to solve it and I won't always be stuck with whatever it is I'm complaining about.
Like, the fact that I was constantly having abdominal pain and stomach issues for 19 years, had to call off school a lot, even though there was nothing wrong with me - Turns out I had a had food allergy that was ripping my intestines apart. Now I feel better and healthier because I learned that and was able to work around it.
In fourth grade, I broke my foot - It swelled and turned red, it made me cry to put pressure on. Went to the hospital, they took X-Rays, said that they couldn't see anything and that it could be a hairline fracture, who knows. Put me on crutches and sent me on my way. It bothered me regularly after that, and I think that, two or three times, I ended up back at the hospital when them telling me there was nothing wrong. I gave up bitching about it and just dealt with it.
It's been getting worse lately, and while I was at the doctor today (probably ten years since any medical personnel has bothered to investigate my feet) I told her about it, and she asked if she could take a look. I took off my socks and without having to get very close, she said "Huh. That doesn't look right." She investigated a bit and wrote me an x-ray order and told me that she'd send me to a podiatrist once she gets the x-ray results back. I guess one of the bones is pushed way further out that it is supposed to be and just looks all fucked up. I guess going through puberty with fucked up bones makes things go out of whack.
It makes me happy, because if I know there is a problem, it means I can try and solve it. So, yey! She told me that, from what she can see, the arch is way off and the bone isn't where it's supposed to me, and it made me feel comfortable when she told me she'd be surprised if I wasn't in pain all the time.
Means maybe I will eventually be able to go back to my plan of taking up jogging.
In other news, my vagina looks healthy and my breasts are free of lumps. Boy do I love physicals.

"I'm taking apart a CRT to get the lamp out, is there any danger involved?"
"Yes. They can kill you and all."
"Well, I'm just taking the lamp out."
"The capacitors in a CRT hold enough voltage to easily kill you."
"Well, I unplugged it."
"They can hold that charge upwards of ten years."
"Well, any way you can do it safely?"
"Most people aren't dumb enough to risk their life since there is nothing of value in them."
"Oh."
My first phone call of the day.
