a_bit_of_wit_2Well, I was well enough to go to work today...woke up, no puking, took temp...100.9. I felt a little dizzy, but decided to go to work, taking aspirin with me. Work was a bit busy today, and I got my first paycheck, to which the funds were distributed between the two bank accounts. Although...when I walked outside to go the banks...my balls immediately hid. Yeah. Definitely FREEZING out there. Just how cold is it outside right now? 1 degree. 1 fuckin' degree, with a wind chill of -16.
So, popped aspirin as required, and felt increasingly better as the day went on. I was told by my boss that I couldn't work Friday to make up for my days out. Also, I realized that I won't ever make up those two days--Wal-Mart is under a "no overtime" rule (except for the usual time and a half Sunday pay). So, the two sick days cost me about $140 in wages. Which means my next check won't be as big as I'd like it to be. 3 of my textbooks sold, so I'll be getting about $110 (after eBay's cut and shipping costs). While I was sick, I had received a letter from April, which was wonderfully mushy. I also got 2 of the 3 W-2s I need...the only one I'm waiting on is from the McD in New Paltz. Let's hope they get on the ball here. Or I'll have to pester Debbie.
I seem happier now than I was not too long ago...all of you, for the last month, have heard me rant, bitch, and complain about my family and all the shit and drama that's going on, of which I'm observing but have no involvement in. It took a while, but it finally sank, thanks to a certain Sarah. All of you had been seeing what I wasn't, and I realized that I was becoming my stepdad, on the opposite end. It was during this realization that I declared myself absolved of all this drama--no more will I take part in it, no more will I let the petty shit of everyone else get to me. I'm gonna be me, and watch out for my own until the time where April and I will be no longer be separated by distance. Sarah had told me that she misses the Brian who had nothing but good things going for him...well, I want that back. And the first step is just to let them go, and only involve myself if the situation directly involves me. So, to all of you who saw what I didn't until recently...thank you very much.
And speaking of drama, apparently me being down here and at work away from the house has caused me to miss a lot of drama...apparently, Mom, Bob, Heather, and Grandma are still at odds, what with Grandma trying to be controlling of everything. Not my fight, so I'll sit this one out. I'll just nod and smile and agree where necessary.
Aspirin wore off about 2 hours ago...took temp just now...98.6. :) However, I'm still left with a slightly sore throat, some stuffiness, and a lingering cough, so I took one NyQuil. I'll feel its effect soon. Meanwhile, work schedule for the next two weeks:
Saturday: off
Sunday: 10-6
Monday: 12-9
Tuesday: 12-9
Wednesday: 12-9
Thursday: 12-9
Friday: off
Saturday: 12-9
Sunday: off
Monday: 12-9
Tuesday: 12-9
Wednesday: 12-9
Thursday: 12-9

Anyone wanna make plans to see, oh...Phantom? Or anything? Let me know.
In the meantime, bed soon.
Nighty night, all.
