If you were diabetic, you wouldn't even consider messing arond with the blood sugar monitoring and the insulin.

Actually, lots of diabetics are lax about monitoring their blood sugar. One of my best friends has Type 1 diabetes (used to be called "juvenile diabetes," but since so many people have developed it as adults, the name was changed -- it's the insulin-dependent type of diabetes), and she's very very lax about monitoring her blood sugar, and it's landed her in the hospital at least once a year over the past 10 years or so.

But, diabetic slackers aside, JZ's point still stands.

Feeling better now that I'm at work (weird isn't it). Got here and found an instant recognition on my desk. (the company has a cool program to recognize employees "instantly" for exta effort, it comes with a certificate and a gift card). My supervisor was freaked I'd gone to a job interview. I'd promised her that I'd be completely honest about applying for jobs and let her know when I was doing job interviews,etc.

We brainstormed and if I don't get this job then she's going to look into putting me back as an agency temp. Because they didn't get budget approval for making me permenent. We'll pick the best agency (with the better benefits) and then I can get a raise. No health insurance, well crappy health insurance that doesn't cover mental health, so not for me.

I know I need to take my meds and for the rest of my life (I honestly don't want to go back to the hospital) but sometimes...it's annoying.

Over all my life is looking up. I have a real space social life w/geeky people. Belly dancing is going well.

I just need to work on cultivating my relationships with online people, because I've sucked at that.

If I could jsut stop eating out all the time I'd have more money for stuff. Budgeting is hard.

I think the importance of the first part outweighs the importance of the second, askye. Good for you. I'm glad your boss sounds so helpful, too.

So, the company screwed me over, both in deed and in process.

I have just been informed that "HR has reached closure." How NICE for them. I am glad that their psychological health has not been affected by the recent unpleasantness.

Sometimes jargon is not your friend.

Sorry your company is being evil.

This morning is made of gronk.

My life is made of gronk.

I'm sorry, Betsy. For the getting screwed over, and for the not-helping-jargon.

Can you/do you want to go into more detail? Not that you have to, I can sympathize without specifics.

{{{askye}}} Been there, done that. Take care of yourself, hon.

Ugh, Betsy. How ridiculous.

So, I know I've said this a million times, but *this* time I really mean it.

I bombed my final today. Like drop-down couldn't answer more than two of the questions completely. Fortunately, my prof has a very generous partial credit policy, so I'm hoping for a 40%.

The sucky thing? The final is 40% of my grade. So, it doesn't matter that I've gotten 100% on every homework turned in; I could still fail the class, because they only account for 10% of the grade.

I'll know between 1 and 2pm. My prof saw panic on my face and said he'd grade my stuff by then so he could give me my "final answer."

Oh, and did I mention I was 15 minutes LATE, because I'm too stupid to be allowed to live? I had a *math* final today. Guess what I didn't bring with to school? My calculator. And the bookstore wasn't open yet, due to their fabulous summer hours, so I had to come home and get mine. So much for being early, because I wanted the extra time.

Then, on the way home, I decided to try to sooth myself with some crochet. Now, I know it's lovely; that's why I'm making it. I know that the yarn is fabulous and looks soft. I know the stitch is amazing and the color is just wonderful. THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU STRANGER ON THE T CAN TOUCH IT!

I may be a bit cranky.
