Ugghhh I took payment for a side project from a coworker and I can already tell this isn't going to be worth it. It's suuuuch a hassle. I wanna go home >_<

Yup, one of the reasons I stopped taking little side jobs the instant I no longer needed the occasional extra money.

I've done them in the past and it was no big deal, but the guy showed up today with quadruple the amount of stuff to produce from what I was expecting... and I would have cried foul except he also has paid me quintuple the usual.

It's not about the money though. I don't mind helping out for a half hour or so, but this could potentially be 3 hours, and it's super irritating because his client wants to micromanage everything despite not being here, so we have to do something, e-mail it, wait for a response, then redo it... and we've got twelve two-minute scripts to do like this (I'm sound producer, the guy I'm helping out is just voice talent and doesn't know how to use Adobe Audition or anything).

Guuhhh Really, I'd do a half hour's work for free, but you can't pay me enough for 3 hours.
 
*sigh* I can't sleep. (And no, fuck off with "Clown will eat you?" or any "clever" variation. Just fuck off.) Depression is hitting me hard lately.
 
Nodding off, so I should go to bed. But I've only been able to get a couple hours of actual sleep. The rest has been hour after hour of not able to get back to sleep until the alarm goes off and it's time to get ready for work. :(
 
I need a back rub and breakfast in bed and everything that goes on in between.
I need to remember that entire list of things I was going to do today that I dreamed up before I fell asleep but never committed to any more...permanent form.

I know my phone is somewhere in my car because it stayed connected the whole time I was driving home. But I can't find it. I'm sure it fell somewhere really annoying.
 
I can’t sleep either. I’m in a weird place lately. I’m either asleep all the time or wide awake and stressed out about my dad’s health or angry about how badly the hospital screwed up with him. I’ll be there this weekend and it will be a struggle not to flip out on someone.

My new biologic is making me tired all the time. I really hope that stops soon. I can’t sleep so much. I know it’s strange because I usually complain that I can’t sleep due to pain, but there must be a happy medium somewhere.
 
I seem to have developed a side-effect from the Bydureon shots: the injection site from my most recent shot is reacting like a bug bite - and is just about as itchy.

Cortisone not helping? I'd suggest heating it, but if it IS thermolabile, that might accidentally reduce the effect of the shot, so ehhh...

We had just an awful day today. My daughter and I went up to spend the day with my dad at the hospital and just as we arrived he was taken to the ICU. They did an emergency surgery bedside there (it was so urgent that they weren't waiting for an OR) and another smaller procedure later on. I've never been more scared.

He's in pretty bad shape. He's having more side effects/complications from his surgery and his follow up emergency surgery. I'm so glad that we're here.
 
And the Bydureon experiment is officially kaput. I developed a huge-ass rash at the site of my most recent injection - we're talking baseball-size rash - and the other two most recent injection sites still have their raised bumps. This new one itched like a blankety-blank, and was ultra-sensitive to touch.

I am now on antibiotics, off the Bydureon, and out $50 for my most recent prescription of the pens.
 
OK, a lot less serious because man I thought the whine thread was the "smallest" issues in comparison to Minor Rant and Rant, sheesh ;)

Anyway, my former boss/coordinator is leaving at where I used to work. Considering it's his job I wanted in the first place and I only left becausethat spot was never going to open up, and I'm unhappy at my current place...hey, let's throw in my resumé!
...Except they haven't opened the function for external candidates, and they've put the deadline to apply at tomorrow.
Rats.
I mean, I'm still going to throw my hat in - the only two people who have applied so far to my knowledge were both formed and trained by me - but....Sigh.
