Hell Week - Day 4: Adjusting To A Smokeless Life
Made it another day. Though I think I have a few more gray hairs and even my cats are avoiding me. I used that nicotine gum, tastes awful, helps a bit. It was either that, smoke, or take out a few people with a baseball bat. It did well for an emergency situation. I still plan on only using it when absolutely necessary.
Don't think this counts as a slip, but last night Fran was smoking on the porch. I walked out there and just inhaled the smoke coming off his cigarette. Not as great as the real thing, but nice. I took a couple whiffs and went back inside. I think he feels bad smoking in front of me, but not bad enough to quit. He'll quit the day he dies, and that's that.
I've been waking up a lot at night lately. Don't know if it's from quitting or allergies or what. But last night I just could NOT fall asleep. I laid there from midnight until about 5. I knew the alarm was going to go off at 5 so I could wake up Fran. Afterwards I think I passed out at about 6:30, woke up at 8. And here I am at the Pit. Sigh. My boss isn't here today and I have nothing to do. But I need the money so I'm here. At least I get to take off early today.
Picking up my glasses this afternoon. Yup. Glasses. 5 years ago or so I was prescribed reading glasses. I haven't been able to put them on in about 3 years because they just don't work anymore. So I finally got around to going back to the eye doctor. Now I have to wear them full time. Joy. It's not that I hate glasses. Many people look great in them. I do not. I just don't have the face for them. I look like an ass.
So what do I do? I pick out the white-trashiest, tackiest pair in the place. Black cat's eye glasses with rhinestones in the corners. hehehe I figure, if I gotta look like an ass, might as well go full-on Meghan style. I'll consider putting a picture of me wearing them up on the site. Maybe. But it should be interesting to be able to see. I'm just afraid once I put the glasses on I'll look at Fran and say, "THAT'S what you look like?" hehehe Kidding honey.
Well, it's just about time for the little office party to say goodbye to one of our customer service people. After I quit two more people handed in their notice. I don't want to say I started a trend...but employees at this place are dropping like flies. heh heh heh So I'm off to grab a piece of cake....I need it today.
Oh yeah...finally got my test results. They were in the mail yesterday. Everything is cool. Funny how yesterday they couldn't tell me that over the phone, they had to send it by mail. Makes a whole lotta sense.
