it is still swollen, and probably broken, still putting off going to the doctor.
 
i am up doing art work. Loopy you can rattle till the cows come home, I will chat
 
Court, Please consider going to see the doctor. If your hand is broken it needs to be set. You don't want it to heal that way. They'd have to break it again to fix it. Ugh! Even if it is badly sprained it may need a cast.

Lou, do rattle on. I'd love to hear about your day, your thoughts. I would be like I actually have a friend I can talk with at this crazy hour. My local friends would kill me if I rang them up this late, unless it was life & death.

I actually fell asleep tonight, but was woken up by 2 seizures in quick succession. Not that I'm complaining. At least I didn't break anything. (poor court!)

Now I'm awake, I think for good for the rest of the night. I ordered up the DVD's for the first season of "Weeds," so I think I'll have a marathon tonight. Or maybe I'll think of something productive to do, like Matchu. You are a role model, Matchu!
 
hmmm maybe so? I broke my pinky and they would not reset it so it healed all jacked up!
 
3.14am and I'm making use of my time by doing some job hunting on my phone internet.

People at work today were speculating about who might be up for the deputy managers job at work. They know who the other person is, but not that I'm a pretty strong candidate too. I'm glad I didn't tell them. After about an hours discussion on the matter they decided that it couldn't be me because I "have the whole epilepsy thing and the risk assessment and stuff". Hmph. I want that job now just so I can say "see, I'm just as capable as anyone else".

Long shifts of being stuck in the house at work whilst everyone else does the fun stuff like going out has given me plenty of time to study paperwork, audits, policies and procedures, legislation and all sorts.
 
You know what? I don't even want the job that much. I just want a change from the normal stuff I get stuck with all the time, and a pay rise would come in handy. The manager says he thinks I'd make a good deputy and he will back me with it, yet certain members of other staff think I'm a complete simpleton? Grrrr.
 
Grrr indeed. You've got my vote for deputy manager.
 
I think you ARE the best person for the job. Never mind what others say, or what it would be fun to say back to them! (I can't believe they discussed this in front of you! How totally rude and unprofessional!)

You are SMART, well versed in the policies, compassionate, and fair. That's what the job calls for. There is a reason your boss encouraged you to apply.
 
I'm just glad i didn't tell them i was applying for it. They guessed right about the other person who was applying though.

I figure, if i don't get it then i won't have people saying "knew ya wouldn't get it", and if i do, then thats good.

Given up on sleep for now. It's about quarter past 4am now, and my brother is going to get here at about 5ish anyway so i might say a quick hi to him before going to try for some more sleep. He works as a croupier in a casino in another town. Missed him since he moved, he's my best friend as well as my little brother.

Lol i just realised something. Sat here at the computer squinting at the screen and thinking "wow, i must be tired, it's so fuzzy!" I go to push my glasses up my nose a bit and i've just realised they're still on my bedside table. What was that about being smart endless? :paperbag: :roflmao:
 
6am, had a chat with brother, now off to bed again. Looks like its going to be a long lie in for me tomorrow!
 
I wish I

could do that..........*sigh*

But I do wish you the best of luck, Lou. You're the best candidate for the job. :banana::woot:
 
I'm here Court..........just yell!

Though, believe it or not, I'm YAWNING.......
 
Court,

I'm sorry I wasn't online last night to chat with you. I actually slept last night for a switch. The diamox is beginning to work.

When I'm up at night I feel lonely, too. It helps to have company, even if it's online company. I should open up an online IM account.

Big hugs to you, Court. I was with you in spirit.
 
Tonight I'm up whining!

I thought I was in for good sleep from now on. I guess not true. I slept 2 hours, 10pm to midnight, now up and can't sleep. Past experience was that once up I'd never go back to sleep. Ugh.

Today I am so thirsty. It's like I just went for a run in the jungle. I'm chug-a-lugging water. No extra salt or anything. Huh.

More things that are better after midnight:
- chocolate
- a warm shower so long that the hot water tank runs cold
 
Ermmmmmm, I

HOPE I sleep well the next couple of nights, as I have a blasted portable EEG.

AGAIN.

Heaven help me, they make me want to SCREAM.
 
i wont see the gf till monday morningi will probaly whine now
