The thing for work went very well! Everyone liked it! Getting up at 6 am sucked really bad. I was soo tired all day. I came home and slept for many many hours. I woke up and played UO a bit after dinner. I'm still tired. My back is feeling better though. I only had to take one painkiller today. :)

I have to be up at 6 am tomorrow.

Yuck.

We leave for our 'teambuilder' at 10 or 10:30, so I have to make sure I get my four hours of actual work in before we leave. Yuck. My manager was thinking of the people that get there early, not the rest of us that get in after 8 am. She made me change our reservations to an earlier time, to make things easier for her special people. Bitch. Sorry, but she's really pissing me off lately. She seems to only be concerned about certain people and totally IGNORES the rest of us. Blah. She doesn't even ask how I'm doing and I was out for two days because of this injury. One of her favorites gets a friggin pubic hair out of place and she sends them a card and flowers. WTF?

I'm just glad I covered my ass when I was out. I had a doctor's note, and left voice mail messages with both her and my supervisor. I also emailed my supervisor, and emailed two friends to make sure that my mgr and sup were told in person that I was out. If I hadn't done things that way, I would have been calling all day long before reaching them, given that they can't friggin return my calls, or even call me to see how I'm doing. Grr. Yes, they piss me off. At least I know now that I was a good boss when I managed a place nearby. I had 25 associates that I was responsible for and I asked them how they were doing, I talked to them, and I did things to make their jobs easier. I did it all because I liked it. These people are just clueless.

I set everything up for the teambuilder and it took a lot of time to get everyone straight on what is going on. So they better not bitch about it. It's funny how the people that can never agree about what to do are always the ones that NEVER think of things we can do. They just gripe about everything. What was my reply to the one that didn't want to go on this team builder? I told them, "Fine, YOU find something to do and then get 17 out of 18 people to agree to doing it." What a jerk. It's the same one that Yelled at me when he was the one that ran into me the other week. This person has major issues.

I couldn't really do much in yoga class tonight. My back hurt. Really bad. Dylan had a good time though. He was well behaved and did all the positions. Our normal teacher wasn't in class tonight, she went to the beach with her dad. I really didn't like the teacher that took her place. She wasn't as much fun.

Now I think I will go take some painkillers and sleep. Hopefully I will wake up on time. blah!

I slept all day and have to go to work tomorrow, even though I'm not feeling any better. At least it's almost Friday. Now I'm going to take more painkillers and sleep some more. Such excitement, I can hardly contain myself. zzz.

Fifteen years ago I wouldn't have even felt the effects of falling down the stairs. 'Tis very sad that I can actually feel my age now. Especially when hitting the ground so hard like that. Ouch. I can only imagine what would happen if I were to fall off a horse now. That's one of my fears, falling off a horse again. The last time it happened I was quite scared, but thankfully didn't get hurt. That was ten years ago. Now, I'd probably break something. Ugh. I'm finding myself unable to sleep now. I took way too many naps today, they felt good though. Now my sleep schedule is totally screwed up. I was actually planning on going to work tomorrow. Oh well. They can survive without me another day. At least I have a doctor's note, so if they complain, I have proof that I needed to stay home. I still can't pick up anything with my right arm and typing is a major b*tch. I can definitely tell when the medicine wears off too. My back still hurts, even with the painkillers and muscle relaxers, I probably should have gone to soak in the hot tub tonight. *bliss* Hot tubs are awesome, though I always get so light headed after being in them. I'm bored.

It's amazing how out of it I can get when I take this medication. I think I was up a total of three hours today. I was barely coherent then too. I couldn't focus on reading my books or drawing, tv only makes me sleep, and I couldn't play anything online because I kept nodding off at the computer! So I slept all day long. I woke up after 7 pm, showered and found some food. I then got the urge to change the looks of my weblog, and that's just what I did!

Dylan's bored and playing in his room, I can't get him to agree on doing anything, so I guess he will just have to stay there and be bored. I offered to do a lot of things with him too. He did agree to my offer to make him a milkshake, because he likes my milkshakes a lot.

I zoned out again. Where was I? Oh yes...

I look forward to Friday. That's our teambuilder day at work and I'm the one that organized it! We're going to paint ceramics in Carytown. Painting ceramics is very good for the mind. I think I'm going again on Saturday so Dylan can try it out. I also want to take him to the toy store down there as well. I want to stop at One Eyed Jaques for some n00b modules so we can start playing D&D together. Yay!

I hope that I am all better by Thursday night, I don't want to miss doing my yoga class. I will still go, possibly taking Dylan if he promises to behave. I can hardly lift a glass at the moment, so I seriously doubt I'll be able to do much on Thursday either, but then there's always hope!

I feel like sleeping again. *sigh*

Today was a very bad day:

1. The cat attacked my only pair of hose when I was putting them on, so I had to change outfits while getting ready for work this morning.
2. My car died again, but I had the other one to drive.
3. I took a nose dive off the front porch, down the steps and onto my head. (I landed on concrete). I sprained my foot and did all sorts of other nasty things to my head, back, neck, knees, and feet. Ouch. At least no one saw it happen...
4. The interview was nasty. The questions were horrid and not very easy to answer. I fumbled through it. I suck. I was in pain. I wish it could have been another day.

I went to work, but was in too much pain to do much of anything, so I left and went to the doctor. They took over 11 x-rays of various parts of my body. He said nothing was broken, but he was having someone else look at them. My foot feels broken. My first three toes are numb and it HURTS. I hurt all over. I did walk out with some muscle relaxers and 800 mg of motrin. He also gave me a note to stay home for the next two days.

I feel like I was hit by a bus.

Now I'm home and in comfy clothes and I'm going to watch Dogma because Vicki said I should and let me borrow her tape.

Yucky day.

At least I got the post done this morning.

Gods I hurt so bad.

Interview tomorrow. Ack.

Going to Vicki's house to work on my interviewing skills helped a lot. I had fun too! Today I didn't do very much, just played UO with Dylan and napped and cleaned the house.

I'm still nervous about tomorrow.

Terribly nervous.

Gah!
