You're going to give up in an unspectacular way?

R^2 · « **Reply #141 on:** February 05, 2012, 08:21:03 AM »

Depends on what you mean by "give up". If you mean "discontinue my previous plan of living with low expenses in order to stockpile cash and waiting for the promotion I was promised to come to fruition so I'm making a liveable wage" then yeah, I'm going to have to.

I've spent the last ten days in the worst manic swing of my life. For the last three days I haven't been able to sleep more than few hours at a time, and even then poorly. I tried to take a 3 hour nap before work and didn't sleep through any of it. Now I have an eight hour shift ahead of me and my right hand is shaking uncontrollably. That's my mousin' hand, god damnit.

Welp, time to do something recklessly stupid out of desperation.

Gave notice today.

Didn't beg you to stay on or anything?

R^2 · « **Reply #146 on:** February 09, 2012, 02:37:09 PM »

The management knows my situation and still decided to leave me washing dishes. On a cut-down work schedule. So it was less begging and more "This is inadequate and cannot continue" followed by "This is not continuing."

Hope you find gainful employment soon.

I'm not sure how I did it, but I jammed my off-hand ring-finger. At first I thought, WHATEVS! I NEVER USE THAT SHIT.

Turns out I was hella wrong. FFFuooowwww.

Acne and other embarrassing bodily problems. It's like being a teenager all over again except now instead of being new and important it's old hat.

Judging by the lingering pains and sensitivity during storms, I guess the tarsal was broken or fractured? Whoops.

Got something that might be a hernia.

Mitigating good news: Have insurance.

Unfortunately, the insurance is probably going to claim it's a preexisting condition and because I haven't had a physical in 4+ years...

Ticket for running stop sign on a bicycle (identical ticket if I was driving a car).

Now it doesn't bug me (much) that I got the ticket... it was A Fair Cop, as they say. All on video, entirely my fault, whatever. I shouldn't even get tagged for an insurance hit - apparently my insurer gives leeway for two free minor moving violations before a rate increase (which is pretty big given that Ontario has the worst car insurance rates on the continent).

What bugs me is that it was at the end of a street that goes around the building I work in. I usually don't bike all the way around the building and usually just nip in a side passage straight into the building early on. It is completely inexplicable to me as to why I chose to take an unnecessarily long way around. And there's a different side passage before the stop sign I even thought about taking but didn't (granted there was some construction there). WHY BRAIN, WHY?

You just like to ride, man.

Funny side note. While being written up, some dude across the street had his dog literally take a huge shit in the bike lane. I know trying to pull the "Hey! why aren't you writing THAT GUY up?!?" whinge on the cop is a non-starter, so I just kinda laughed.

They don't have Stop as Yield laws in Canadia?

Mongrel · « **Reply #156 on:** April 24, 2012, 08:57:16 AM »

Not in Ontario.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #157 on:** April 24, 2012, 09:16:24 AM »

Huh, they don't have them in San Diego, either!

As far as the US goes I'm pretty sure it's Idaho only.

Got something that might be a hernia.

After having a doctor manhandle my abdomen, it didn't cause pain. Apparently the plan is now "wait and see".

... Which, as much as it's going to bug the hell out of me is basically the best case scenario here.
