Goddamn it

[beandelphiki]

I'm pissed at my body.

Why? Because it got sick again. Less than two weeks after the LAST illness.

It seems I can't work a normal, 40-hour week without succumbing regularly to the latest bug going around. It just plain pisses me off that my system is so fragile. What, exactly, am I supposed to DO for a living that's engaging and fascinating, and which takes up little enough time so that I DON'T GET SICK ALL THE FUCKING TIME, and actually pays bills?

I mean...fuck.

Actually 40 hours a week is, I think, a lot. I only work 72 hours in 2 weeks, so it's about 36 a week. I've contemplated taking on an extra day to get to full time, but I think that would finish me off.

Of course I do double from time to time, but somehow getting paid twice as much per hour makes it rather tolerable.

I hope you get well and stay well.

I'm not stalking you. I swear.

I just saw this and had to do a feel-better thing because i mother over everyone.
Anyway, am letting you know that you have officially recieved sympathy from this corner of the world. Which is saying something, because i really don't know you.

Right. Topic. Yeah. That.

Feel better! *sends virtual chicken soup*

Hmm. One of my co-workers can manage around 80-100 hours in a two-week pay period. Maybe that's not a normal work load (I'm pretty sure 50 hours a week isn't), but she has to pay bills. God knows I couldn't pay bills with the same job, because I couldn't handle being there that often.

I feel unreliable, I guess. All I am is reliably sick.

You can stalk me, I don't mind.

Much thanks for the sympathy. And the soup, I'm a big soup fan. My mother thinks I'm downright weird, because she thinks soup is pointless except as an appetizer.

She's batty, though.

Yay stalkables! :p

And soup is always good. A bit warm for it these days, but if you're sick it's the way to go anyhow, imo.

And soup is totally good for more than just being an appetizer.

Then again, I'm batty too. ^.^
