It's very true that medical issues can make you super tired. It wouldn't be a bad idea to see your doctor.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

Boy I'm whiny today. My boss texted me he was bringing me lunch today, so I was jazzed for that.
It was from cracker barrel. The meatloaf was ok but the portion was tiny. The mashed potatoes were bland, needed gravy, and were lumpy. The green beans were barely edible. My boss thoughtfully also got dessert for me. It was apple pie. I really don't like any kind of fruit based pie. >_<
I choked most of it all down anyway because it'll be the only thing I have to eat today until probably 7 or 8 tonight. (I don't typically eat breakfast)

I've been worried because I have a superglue bottle that looked almost exactly like an eyedrops bottle.
My mom worked with a HS girl that mistook fingernail glue with eye drops. Your fears are not unjust.
I've found that everything that Cracker Barrel makes needs salt. Everything. I usually don't add salt to anything, I'll add some pepper, but never salt. CB food, I have to add salt to it all.

Oh, I guess I also neglected to mention that I generally don't eat at Cracker Barrel for personal reasons. Pauline was a manager at one, until they let her go because of her health difficulties (not that that was the reason they gave), and the resulting lawsuit dragged out for years.
It is that style of Southern food that has no bloody flavor. I'll stick to my Texas comfort food, or Tex-Mex and Cajun. I WANT FLAVOR!
That's not southern food, it's a pale imitation. Real southern food has plenty of flavor... and usually enough cholesterol to kill a truck full of people.

The sign outside of Cracker Barrel is a bit alarming. It says "In the spirit of pleasing others, Cracker Barrel does not discriminate against any race, religion, etc..." That phrase "in the spirit of pleasing others" always looks so grudging to me. My in laws love it so I'm there a lot. That and olive garden. Many bland things.
Olive Garden is where zombies will eat during the apocalypse... after they've eaten all the people, corpses, and garbage on the planet. And then, only reluctantly.

I always order a vegetable soup and that's it. It's just not worth the calories. I just tell them I had a big breakfast. It's really sweet of them to treat us as much as they do; they just don't like the things I like.
And since I'm here I'll whine. I'm really uncomfortable eating with them, at least in restaurants. When they get the bill, they scrutinize and sulk over it for several minutes. Why invite us out if it's clearly such a bother? It really makes me feel bad, and they never let us pay. I much prefer when we have a cookout.

Waffle House has a similar sign...they've been hit with a ton of similar discrimination suits.

I'm so angry, frustrated, stressed out, and scared about my current situation right now. Don't know if my units will transfer anywhere else, or how many will if they do accept them. And that's if I can even find anywhere else around here that offers a comparable Paralegal program. That was one one of the reasons why I went to that school in the first place, because it was the only place I could find that offered it.
Two of my friends had a fight this morning right in front of me at the bus stop.
I totally see why it happened but holy shit how awkward! I couldn't wait for that bus to arrive so I could get the hell out of there!

I hate bureaucracy so much. So, I find out that new teaching license I was going for, that I took all those tests for, and put in all that effort for...I can't qualify for it because I already hold a license at a higher level. However, it does appear that if I can get a few people to sign off on something, I in fact can get that license at the same level as my current one. It's just extra bullshit to put up with. It sucks because the postings are coming out, and I know I can finally get a classroom if I can just get this license in hand. Just...every damn time I get close...it just gets pulled back.
Been up with my kid since about 4am because his hand hurts him so much he can't sleep.
Not exactly. Poorly padded work shoes and a floor just this side of concrete. Knees felt better once I got home to a floor with a bit more give to it.
Actually, in talking with him just now, it was just after 3am when he came into my room. On the plus side, we both went back to sleep after breakfast and didn't get up until about 11.
Well, that was infuriating. Not only do I have to go through 2 more years of classes at the only other school in town that offers legal degrees to be able to accomplish what I only had 10 more weeks of at Heald, but I may not be able to get the funding to do it it anyway because of my Bachelor degree.
And much of my loans were private , so they won't be forgiven even if I decided to try that route.
It just seems that every time I've tried to improve my life, something equally bad or worse has come along to negate it all.

First, get a lawyer. Second, contact all the consumer advocates at your local TV stations. I'm not a lawyer, but it would certainly appear that you've got a case. You shouldn't have to roll over and just take it.
Yay. The Brooklyn Beefsteak is the Sunday I get to NYC.
Boo. By the time funds are available to buy tickets it'll probably be sold out. Late seating (after 5pm) is all that's left.
Boo boo. Even if I did get tickets, after 6-7 hours of driving and still in third shift mode, I'd probably be too tired to leave the hotel room anyway.
