I do my best not to do this often, but I'm here to bitch.

Everything. Hurts.

I got a pretty big splinter that had to be removed via doctor+scalpel+2 shots of numbing agent+1 stitch in my right forearm. I then go get a tetanus shot. (Total cost, $450, by the way, after the bill was drastically reduced by the doctor because she felt bad for me. It could have easily been double that. I'll never understand why I don't qualify for Medicaid, but that's a different thread.) Slept like shit last night, overslept my alarm on a finals day, and a little while ago, I got really cold for some reason, which turned my muscles and joints into concrete.

I'm exhausted and in serious pain, and there isn't a whole hell of a lot I can do about it. I'm so distracted by the pain that I can't concentrate on watching a baseball game.

[Loud Whispers]

Loud Whispers, you're not making any sense. Do you even understand the exchange between Malkavian and Bd and the context of what Naxza said?

There is no context to what Naxza quoted, and I cynically assumed it was someone saying the only way ahead is to not go anywhere at all and off yourself. I didn't for a moment consider it was said in black humour, melancholy or something alone those lines, my reaction was based off of a reaction.

The exchange between BD and MM was not abuse. No one is blaming MM for anything because MM hasn't done anything wrong, to me it just seems like MM thought BD was mocking him, by virtue of it being able to be attributed to an identity.

Breathe deeply, eat well. It gives you something else to focus on, TV won't help much in my experience.
Oh and if you can, a warm bath is the best. Takes the weight off of everything, relaxes the muscles and helps you get to sleep. It's worked on even the worst ailments, just make sure you don't fall asleep in them.

I've got some kind of head cold or something, my sinuses and lymph nodes are swollen all to buggery, and paracetamol (acetaminophen to all of y'all Yanks) is doing nothing to put a dent in the resultant headache; in addition , I've only got 3 tabsules of the stuff left D:

You say that like it's a bad thing.

It is a bad thing. I like baseballBESUBAWW! This is a fairly exciting game.

It's a blatant and low-quality ripoff of cricket!

Cricket is five days straight of boring as shit.

Finally broke down crying at dinner today, on my last day of work, because I bought dinner out for my family as a treat and my mom started snarling and criticizing the fuck out of everyone at the table since she didn't like the food, and then started yelling at me for "crying as a guilt-trip" (no, it was because I was exhausted and had gotten to the point where I was going to break down crying because I couldn't take any more people yelling at me, as they'd been doing all day--she'd already yelled at me for an hour earlier over doing things that I hadn't done, the kids gave us feedback and mine was almost universally "I can't understand a fucking thing you're saying because you use big words."  Thanks guys, you could have told me that sooner; and someone who's trying to help me get a job has been helpfully saying "make sure you read the company website and look into the position," after I stayed up later than I wanted to last night to write her a long email letting her know everything is okay and that I remain a competent human being).

I'm so, so tired.  Going to buy ME3 as my gift to myself, play a little, go to bed and then it has to be 1000% job applications when I wake up tomorrow morning.

[Bdthemag]

I'd make a comment of the quality of ME3, and why you'd want to play it to cheer yourself up, but I figure that'd be rather inappropriate and I'd have a swarm of people angry at me again.

[Vector]

Hey look, you managed to tacitly make the comment AND pretend not to at the same time!  What a pal.

[Bauglir]

And yet you did it anyway

I'm just frickin' exhausted. The long work week is, at last, over, at least. Gonna slack off all night because I'm too tired to do anything productive, even coastlines. Hugs all around.

EDIT: Vector you maths-ninja

Hey, I've got a quota of smart-ass comments to make everyday. I find it amazing that I didn't simply flat out say it, but actually was more tactful with my approach. That's gotta be an accomplishment of some kind, right?

[misko27]

I've learned that being a flat-foot is more serious then I thought. I might actually be more then that. I haven't been wearing m inserts very much (Read: At all since the beggining of July) and a pain in my left foot, right around the arches, has slowly developed to the point where I can no longer walk without feeling pain, and as for things like stairs and god forbid running? Absolutely not. It'll be a while before the pain starts going away now that I'm using them, so I'm still stuck going around the summer limping.


I guess I'll just be enslaved to them then, just like contact lenses ( I lose glasses. Always. Absolute definite. The only glasses I haven't lost are the ones I don't wear.)

[Pnx]

Somehow I'd suspected you'd have sad things to say today.

Though hey look on the bright side, you managed to convey lots of math knowledge to a bunch of kids in spite of them struggling to understand you because of big words.

Also no matter how much some people, including me, may gripe about ME3, it's still a pretty decent game in it's own right that has good things to offer.

That kind of situation is horrible.  You're captive while someone shits all over you in public, and if you try to get out or stop it, it'll just escalate into something worse.  :<
