OK so I’m sitting here at work bored and annoyed by the stupid IE browser that always wants to download shit and then open it in a completely different program rather than just SHOW the graphic in the browser window. Dumbass piece of Microsoft technology…

Anyhoo… I’ve got quite the healthy lunch today. Aside from the peanut butter and banana sandwich I’ve got carrots and fennel (aka anise) and yeah, the Caffiene Free Diet Coke. I did throw in the Little Debbie Fudge Brownie because… a girl can’t live on vegetables alone…

See, I’m doing this eating good for you foods thing cuz the medication I’m on makes me incredibly hungry. Like, I can’t get enough food in my mouth at one time kinda hungry. Which is something I’m totally not used to. Yes, I am overweight, always have been but, NO it’s not cuz I eat all the time, it’s because when I do eat it is usally something that isn’t good for me. My eating habits have always been, eat either when I’m hungry or bored. Then only eat something fast and easy. But lately it’s been eat everything you see and eat it all. Package of cookies….eat every one of them. Box of chocolate….eat the whole thing at once and see how many pieces you can fit in your mouth at the same time.

So… to avoid the massive weight gain that I really don’t need I’ve stopped buying crap and started buying bland boring vegetables. They do give me the crunch I crave and raw carrots are rather tasty (so is the anise) I wont complain about it yet. So hopefully the scarfing down of food that is good for me will help me avoid adding the 10 pounds that this medication claims will be added to me as a side effect. Oh and for anyone wondering how I like this medication…aside from that appetite side effect, it’s fine. Very easy to deal with, don’t even have to think about it. I’ve just written the time for the next injection on the calendar so that I don’t forget…cuz that’d be bad.

Pass it on!

The best way to get rid of a cold or sickness is to pass it on to everyone you know. See, last week I came down with a nasty something… and since so many people here at the office bitch and moan when you take a day off to be sick, not to mention the fact last week was Chris’s last week here, I ended up coming in even though I was dead sick. I got to go home early the one day, but I was here spreading the germs to everyone. Then this week…. the aftermath….

We’ve got 3 people working in our art department. Two are designers, the third is the grunt who doesn’t do much desigining he sends the ads to the papers. Well, on Thursday BOTH designers were out sick and there were still ads to be done. They had to call one of the designers and have him walk through how to make the ads with the grunt worker. It was crazy. But that’s not all. The office manager was out sick. In total I gave the sicknes to 6 people.

I’m actually feeling better and better as time passes.
