Every time I stand up, I get dizzy.. my heart starts racing, and I get really weak. Despite being very careful about what I am eating, my blood sugar is going from 120 to 400 and back in short periods of time (think I've taken my blood sugar about 5 times today). Don't have a clue what is going on, but if symptoms persist in the morning, I will be going to the hospital.

My company is all, "Hey, work overtime all season because we need you, but in January we'll schedule you for 15 hours a week and ask you to give up 10 of them." I am sick and tired of this nonsense. Filed for unemployment, asked my church for benevolence money--which I really hate to do--and am job-searching. My brother is relocating to my city and was going to rent a room, but maybe I'll ask him to stay with me for a couple of months and help me with rent. I wouldn't ask for much. Also, his temp agency will let you work 1 or 2 days at a time if you want. So I have a plan. Wish I had a savings.

I think I've figured out what's going on with my hours. if there's a week where SCO has an 'unusual' number of saved transactions*, the poor sap who is watching SCO gets their hours cut the next week (more or less a legal method of docking pay). How is cutting the hours of the only person watching things supposed to make sense?

* Some of these are people using it as a price checker, some are probably walk-offs. There is no way to tell. When you have one person watching four lanes PLUS being expected to run perishable returns this stuff is going to happen and until we get actual security measures it will keep happening.

I'm pretty sure it's just someone being passive-aggressive towards you. They claim it's not their doing, but the amount of convenient screwings and who they're targeted towards says otherwise.

[Ashcroft]

I have had random bouts of fear and hopelessness over the last few days.
Between actually applying for jobs (that I would be lucky to get a refusal letter from) and myself an my partners fiscal problems... my anxiety is going off the deep end.
Those courses I took? I can't continue them because I can't afford them and I can't get on any state benefits because I fit through the only cracks that exist in the programs.
Further training in the field? Nope, it's a specialised area that has decided to remove the stipend in the only other course in the country, that would also mean having to move half the country away were I to even get a position in the course.
Is everything I have been doing in my life pointless?
If I try, I fail. If I don't try, I feel so much guilt and confliction that I end up paralysed.
I cannot provide for my boyfriend, for us. We are just getting by, and there is nothing I can do... he is in regular pain from a work injury, took a massive drop in hours and still won't apply any pressure to me.
He cares for me, does so much for us...
Fuck me I hate being this way...

[Kanalah]

Saw my mom yesterday and got caught up in the family drama.

Uncle is pissed that his welfare got cut off and he had to find a job since Gma and Mom cut him off. He refused the gifts I bought for his daughters, saying "if Kanalah doesn't want to be a part of this family then I don't want anything to do with her anymore." (He's upset that I won't go to the house that he stole from my Gma and /or approve of his lifestyle which is stealing from his mother with Alzheimer's)

Fine, I don't care. He's an asshole anyway for treating his mom like a cash cow.

Now I have $50 in lush bath stuff for my kids. :P

[Gizmo]

Agggh! Gone from not knowing whether I would ever be approved for a rental.... to moving on Friday/Saturday!

I am mostly packed. I think.......

Work stinks, my neurologist put me on antideppression meds and is it march yet???

[Mytical]

Tried to change a tire today. All I ended up doing is hurting myself. *sighs* So I am going to be over here with one of my drakes.

That being said, here are just a few of the drakes available for cuddles.

Name - Color - unique 'power' and nature.

Ben - Bronze - Ben normally is at least 5 times as large as the others. He is a protector and guardian. He can change his size though. From barely bigger then your finger to full dragon size.

Kee - Turquoise - A little shy, but loves to pounce and bat at feet playfully. Has not grown into her special unique ability yet.

Dan - Copper - A bit mischievous and comical. He has the power to make anything but himself invisible. Great if you want to hide from the world. Just watch out though, he likes to pull pranks.

Lost the stinky job, it's not March yet and it's cold here

[Lady Legira]

Starting anti-depressants today, things can only get better can't they?

[Mishi]

I need a holiday, even just ONE day where I can relax without responsibilities. I'm tired of going around in circles and not getting anywhere. I'm furious that it has taken a week to do what I normally would in half a day. And no, I'm not going to blame Rugz for not having the same skill-sets that I do, those aren't his areas of competency and that is okay. I don't want or need a clone as a husband. /Rant

Anyone have any coffee?

[Gizmo]

Nice.... so friends are planning a birthday bash.... with a "we are doing X resturant, it only does heavily Y type of dishes, you don't like that sit in the pub down the road until we can be bothered to join you for maybe a drink..."

Ummm..... how about no?

[Sunshine]

Gizmo...whose bday??? O.o

[Gizmo]

Two friends whos birthdays are nearly 60 days apart.... and the event isn't near either of the dates. makes it more fun eh? Admittedly the two who are insisting on the location/food type...

[Sunshine]

Ah ok, so weirdly timed. I'd opt to take them out seperately my own self...prolly save money that way!!
