The vacation didn't work

Sunday, February 12, 2006

 

So I was given a team to take over for 3 days while the TL tried to get better(which was pretty stressful), and then the week after, I ended getting 32 hrs on Duty b/c someone else had a funeral to go to, and then I booked 3 days off for vacation, which combined w/ my regular days off gave me a total of 6 days off + the 4 shifts of duty (which is sorta like sleeping on the job) and I'm still not feeling better. I had been getting stomache pains which basically prevented me from eating more than a cup of food comfortably. And my sinuses were going crazy and my eyes were itchy. I figured out finally that w/ the crazy warm weather that we've been having there's probably been a lotta dust and pollen going around which would expl the hayfever. Which doesn't make it any better, but at least I know. But I can't use the anti-histamines b/c the apt is really dry, although I guess I could plug in the vaporizer but I'd also need to get vinegar to dissolve the sediment that builds up on the ... uh...electrodes? Well basically it's 2 metal bars that when a current runs btwn them causes the water to boil. Anyways, still stomach pains and I'm running out of pills. When it happened before, they disappeared after I'd moved. Of course that won't help now.

Apt living itself is ok. However my roommate D caused a noise complaint. I'd have to partially agree w/ his assessment of himself, he's probably got some kind of autism. Or ADD. And procrastination like crazy. Seems he forgot that it was after midnight and he was blasting his computer speakers. It's like dude, you looked at when Smackdown ended(12) and then saw part of Daily Show and Colbert Report, how can you not know it was after 12?! And why didnt' I tell him to turn the damn thing down? B/c I'm not his mom. I'm not around to pick up after him, so I don't clean the dishes he leaves in the sink for days. I'm not going to cook for him (after he made the comment that it's like still being married (H's in Korea) b/c it's nice to come home to a warm meal) but he's welcome to eat the leftovers (b/c I always cook lots so I don't have to cook the next day) but he never does and it's not my problem. I don't tell him to eat, b/c it's his responsibility. Actually I suppose I am pretty poed at him, b/c it's that Chinese/Jewish/fill-in-archetype-here motherly/grandmotherly type who makes sure that everyone is fed to their gills, and I know I'll bug T to eat better if all I see is him eating crackers for lunch.

And now I get to take over another team for 3 weeks while the TL goes on vacation. Which will probably mean that I'll want another few days off afterwards b/c the team is like pretty cruddy. So many of them have disciplinary actions against them, and a couple of them hate each other, it's crazy.
