So I think I have this temporary gig. I got in touch with the temp agency today and the woman asked me if I really wanted it. And I said yes. So I'm supposed to call back on Monday with the finalized details.

Then the temp agency called about work for this weekend cleaning hotel rooms. But I'm working so I turned it down.

I went in and worked today (someone was sick) and I was so sleep deprived and it was brutal. Not hugely busy but the manager sort of over scheduled the beginning of the week, and we haven't made mone this week so they had to cut hours. They were told if anyone called out not to give those hours to anyone, but they had to otherwise there would have been no cashier.

At one point when it was slow there were 2 people and a couple in line. The couple was last and got really loud "where's another cashier! You need to open another register! Where's another cashier!"

I tried to explain that I was it and there was no one else. "You need to get someone else" blah blah and then someone came over and the couple went right ahead of the woman in front of them to get the register.

Arrrgh. I haven't had an IBS flare-up in a long time. In fact, I sort of assumed that what was diagnosed as IBS was a mis-diagnosis and was really the gluten issues. Because avoiding gluten has pretty much cut out my IBS-y stuff.

Until this week. Inexplicable badness, all week. (And for some reason, my mom is having the exact same problems that started the same time. Spoooooky.)

I need to go switch from my loose jeans to yoga pants. (Because, NSM with the "loose," at leasy around the waistband, all of a sudden.) Or maybe just a nightgown. Bah.

Humph. Friends and booze and vietnamese, and still cranky. Humph.

That sucks, askye.

Steph, I hope you feel better soon.

Ginger, I'm sorry you have to go to another facility.

I'm drunk, in case that wasn't clear. And cranky.

I just decided to have a White Russian. I'm embracing my inner Dude.

Also on the near side of cranky as well.

bloody nose update.

All, I figured out what was "causing" my bloody nose. Orbit gum. I had been chewing it like a mad woman for awhile and then I stopped after my weekend nosebleed. 5 days later I started again and wouldn't you know, I got a nosebleed about 30 minutes later. something toxic is in that gum!

wow, that's super creepy! Remind me not to buy it.

Also don't buy Mentos gum--I love actual Mentos, the gum was gross.

All, I figured out what was "causing" my bloody nose. Orbit gum.

That's worthy of being written up and submitted to a medical journal! For real. Because that is weird as hell and clearly not expected (I hope!) by the Orbit people.

can you imagine their new slogans?

can you imagine their new slogans?

So good, your face will explode!

This seems like more of a bitches question, has anyone tried Softcup? I keep reading that it's supposed to be awesome, but haven't heard any RL people in my sphere talk about it.
