I was on vacation from Wednesday until this afternoon. My family and I went to Cedar Point and stayed in their campground.

Wednesday I locked myself out of the camper and got caught in the rain.

Yesterday an aggressive red-winged blackbird pecked the back of my neck.

It was fun.

I'm going to Cedar Point this week, probs. Because rides and stuff.
 
Donated a bunch of old clothes to one of those charity drop box things. The boxes were all full but people started piling up their trash bags full of clothes in front of them, so I did the same. My stuff will either go to someone who needs it or in an opportunistic hoarder's hoard. Either way, a job well done.
 
Just did the same 10-minute walk from the Ferry to my house like I do every day but man, is it HOT today. Basically during the summer, there are always rain clouds brewing up and every day it's likely to rain for 20 minutes or so. Thus just adds to the humidity, so even though the temperature is still t around 89, it feels a lot more hot because of the mugginess.

Oh, and my birthday is tomorrow. I'm turning 28. It's also the 150th birthday of the Lighthouse on the small island, so I'll be celebrating there.
 
>>Mostly because it's true, but also because I hope he feels like shit knowing he seriously scared an abuse survivor.<<

Most managers are so jaded that they don't care about things like that.

I want a slice of my birthday cake so bad right now but it's 1am and l'm fat.
 
I had the most horrendous day at work today. We got some kind of failing report because of one tiny mistake I made and my boss blew up at me like I was five years old in front of a bunch of other people. I actually don't care that much about making the mistake because fuck it - it was one that everyone else makes constantly, but I really don't like the way my boss treats me like I'm infallible and absolutely cannot make mistakes when the other chucklefucks I work with aren't held accountable for anything. Either accept the fact that I fucked something up and deal with it or expect more from the other people that work there; don't try to make me feel like an idiot because of it.

I haven't really been sleeping for the past five days so everything has been so weird as of late.
Family drama is no fun.
 
So yesterday something disappointing happened. This lady from a temp place called me and asked if she could send my resume to somewhere big that paid well™. I of course said yes, but when she told me the job description, my heart sank, because I know the big company would hire an engineering or technical writer grad over me. I was stressed and depressed about it all day today.
 
I have been getting training as a lead at work for the past few weeks. I feel like everyday is a success if I get everything done before the day is out and nothing has caught fire.

Even with the overall bummed-out feeling I've had since yesterday from having my favorite teacher leave to teach at another college across the country, I feel like today was a success.
 
My marching band had its first practice for the summer parades, which was pretty fun. The new additions don't all suck this year, which is a pleasant surprise.
 
I've been sick since Tuesday. I thought it was the flu, but after some research I believe it's an adenovirus. It causes me pharyngoconjunctivitis, or a lovely combination of viral sore throat and pinkeye. My tonsils are swollen and my throat feels like like hell to the point where I have trouble falling asleep. This virus can go fuck itself.
 
I'm happy that I'm getting paid today, and I'm in kind of a TGIF mood because I've had a long week at work this week.

Shit, that sucks. I always hate when my throat gets sore. But conjunctivitis combined? Now this is a MEAN TWOLL of a virus.

Hope you get better soon!
 
I can't believe it. I just came home because I might've got the flu again… It was only 2 and a half months since the last time I was sick. Even though I was feeling okay when I woke up, around 10:30 I started coughing and my nose was being runny… My boss told me it was up to me to go home. I passed on the 11:30 ferry because I wanted to see how I was feeling later but nope… Still felt bad, and it was hot and hot. Thats what got to me, the tropicalness. Its just so hot and humid out.

Its a shame I'm gonna lose my salary days because I'm so strapped right now. The plus side is, I won't be sick for the big Sailboat races that happens every July, but now I probably can't get that Sunday off so I can go to Nippers Beach with a friend.
 
Gotta date tonight with one of the girls I danced with at a club last night, so I'm in a pretty good mood. We're going to see The Rover. Anyone seen it and, if so, how was it?

If it's any consolation, the technical writer is fucked too if he doesn't have 8 years experience.
 
Third time in my life I've vomited hard enough to spit up blood afterwards. (:_(
