How Was Your Day/Week?

[Moonface]

I've also been staying late, too, but for different reasons. Our of our cleaners (of which we have a grand total of 6 for the end-of-night stuff) left with severe chest pain yesterday in the middle of his shift, and called out sick today on top of it. Turns out he has an enlarged heart, so that's fun. These next few weeks are going to be interesting, to say the least. Either way, they needed someone to cover his duties, and that ended up being me, lucky sod that I am.

Oh, and then last night, I tore myself open in my unmentionables. No, not doing anything untoward; I was cleaning myself off after using the bathroom, tugged a little too hard, and next thing I know I'm bleeding, and it's not like I can really put a bandage on that. I'm just having a good time overall!

I'm surprised your coworker was allowed to just leave the store unassisted; the first time I mentioned having chest pain during a shift at my old job I was immediately told I wasn't allowed to go over to the doctor without someone accompanying me, despite the fact it was only across the parking lot.

And uh....wow. My mind tried imagining how you actually managed to do that, failed to come up with something, and now I'm starting to tell myself maybe it's for the best I remain in ignorance of the specifics of your... technique for lack of a better word.  I hope at least it wasn't severe and just needs to heal like any other wound would.

Yeah, your guess is as good as mine how it happened; I didn't think I was going that hard and then I felt it, and yeah, that was that. It has largely healed by now, but that was a fun few days. This week has sucked, yo! I just wanna crawl in a hole and die.

Well, if nothing else it'll be a less painful way to definitely make sure you never catch yourself in a zipper.

My day has been....long. Came home with medicine for my kitty to stop his nausea, only for him to just repeatedly dry heave after failing to give it to him. Took him to a vet which is where I've spent most of my day, waiting for tests to be done to determine what the problem was. He's okay right now but I don't know if that's just because he was given medicine to alleviate the nausea or if the issue is gone fully; I'll have to probably wait until tomorrow to see how he actually is.

Well, if nothing else it'll be a less painful way to definitely make sure you never catch yourself in a zipper.

Oh, then you misunderstand. This wasn't an external wound. No no, this was on the inside! Yeah, enjoy that mental image; I had to actually witness it, and it is no less harrowing.

[Moonface]

I have more questions. I want no answers to them.


*sigh* I thought my kitty was getting better, but he started being unwell late last night to the point we got concerned enough to take him back to the vet. They've kept him overnight and done more tests this morning, and hopefully everything works out and we can bring him home later today with his issues fully handled. Had to call off work because there was no way I was going to go in when all of this happened at 1am, my shift starts at 4am, and I had been awake since 3am. I doubt anyone will bother to handle my department today, so I'm already planning to call out tomorrow too because I'm not dealing with a 500+ piece truck and all the stuff that wasn't done today.

And just to cap off a bad week, my Dad's about to tell me off for something that HE TOLD ME TO DO!

So, I'm trying to get rid of an old TV. In this county, they don't take them at the dumps; you have to schedule a pick-up. At my dad's recommendation, I left the TV in its packaging. Guess what waste management didn't pick up? So now I've wasted one of our four alloted pick-ups for the year, and my Dad's gonna tell me I did something wrong when HE TOLD ME WHAT TO DO! I FUCKING HATE THAT RAT BASTARD!

The last week has been pretty good for me. Got our water fixed finally after the company we were going to go with ran us in circles for a month after taking the $9,500 payment (yes, they refunded it because after running us around, they found out the company they partner with to do the boring didn't have the equipment to actually do the job - something you would think they would do BEFORE they take your money, order the specialty parts and file for all of the permits to do the job), but it worked out in the end because not only did we get a better company to do the job, they were $4,000 cheaper, coming in at only (lol only) $5,700 for the job. The most amazing thing is that the other company was going to do a method that would avoid them having to dig up the entire front yard to replace the line, and just run a new line through the existing one. Yet that would have cost almost $10,000. This other company dug up the entire yard and completely replaced the line, and actually made it longer (they decided to go around the corner of the house and then into the basement, instead of running straight into the basement from the street like the old line did to avoid having to possibly damage our porch that the original line ran under), and yet were still almost half the price. So while it was complete ass being run around and causing us to not have water for even longer than we already had, in the end it worked out a lot better because not only did we get a better quality job done, it came at a much better price tag too.

Then I got a $1.40 raise at work last week as well, so that was pretty awesome. $1.40 doesn't sound like much, but when you're poor, it adds up and makes a noticeable difference, haha.

So yeah, been a decent last week for me.

I really hope Mars is going to be OK, Moony. Are you the only one on your department still or did the other colleague be able to come back?

A nice big F, F and S for Maniak's Dad. *sigh*

Cool that water problem has finally been sorted out for you DL, screw that other company.

Having a "fun" week. I became ill Monday. Had to help do some cleaning at my Dad's which included a lot of...poop issues. He is unwell, but really should not be at that stage yet, he is aware he has a particular problem but continued to wear dirty trousers seemingly over and over. *facepalm*
Got sunburned and barely had any sleep this week so far. Some moron decided to steal cables that provide internet to our town (I'm using data on my mobile which at least works still). Yay. Mind feels fried but will try and work tomorrow.

EDIT: Luckily internet was fixed by the time I woke up today, thank goodness instead of tomorrow like it was estimated.
