nyquil
the stuffy-achy-head blah blah blah blah blah so you can rest and get your ass up in the morning medicine.
i’m doped up on it right now so i can’t really be sure that everything is going to make sense, but here goes.
anyway, i got the job. 
that’s nice news, but i’m feeling too sick to really appreciate it just yet. also, i’m not 100% certain when I start — i should know by monday. in the meantime, i’ve started caring about my current job.
wait. i’m a god-damned liar. that woman (my boss) still has the same ungodly grip on me that she has always had, and i really don’t know how to release myself from it.
“hi steven…I just realized that on our website my e-mail address is the old one, not the current one. Can you please fix this tomorrow???”
let’s talk about what’s wrong with this….
1. no “hi, are you feeling any better?”
2. assuming i’m going to be in tomorrow even though i’m on death’s door (exaggerating of course) today.
this pisses me off. so even if i *do* feel better tomorrow, i’m not going in. but i’m scared. why the hell am i scared? why should this spawn of the devil have such a terrible effect on me? i have to break free… i think when i give my notice, i might feel better. in the meantime, i’m going to have to try to deal one way or another.
so, let’s talk about ronda, who i mentioned in a previous post. she’s even more mistreated by my boss than i am… and she takes everything personally. it has serious physiological effects on her. migraines, etc. so we’re thinking about quitting TOGETHER. fun idea, eh? considering there are only 4 employees in our office, that would be a BIG loss… 50% of the staff!
laura, who works her ass off, was told yesterday by my boss that “sometimes 8 hour days need to become 10 or 12 hour days”. laura was pretty offended considering that EVERY day is a 12 hour day for her. but happy diane had no problem telling her today that she could care less about laura being offended by this pointed remark.
so, the office drama will end soon. that’s good.
i really want to go to texas. i miss jason, kelsie, and jessica terribly… this job may allow me to, since i may be able to tell them that i need to give my job 3 weeks notice, and only give them 2 instead, so i can use the extra week for a little vacation. i can’t make any promises though.
mark has been great to me… he’s taking care of me since i’m sick, and he got me a dr. seuss book (”oh, the places you’ll go!”) to celebrate my new job.. and he wrote his own little seussian poem in it for me. it was very sweet. i really am not sure where i would be without him at this point in my life (or any point, mind you).
anyway, the nyquil is starting to kick in and my typing is about to become as slurred as my speech, so i need to go to bed now.
that is all.
