Bored at work...

Again. No activity on Tribe, again. My face hurts - my sinuses have been soooo bad lately - I think it's because when it rains here, in the one virtually smoke-free atmosphere I'm in, people smoke in the hallway outside the office & this place may actually have worse ventilation than the Excalibur. I'm going to take a Benadryl in about a 1/2 hr... I went to bed last night around 9:30pm, woke up at a quarter to 6 this morning (beat the alarm by 15 minutes!) to the sound of rain absolutely pounding down outside. Right now, it's clear skies. I'm going to an allergenist on Thursday morning - I give up. I want injections. I'm tired of itchiness & swollen tonsils.
Rob's nephew, Alex, is getting deeper & deeper in w/the pharms & possibly heroin, & his grandparents refuse to cut him off. He's indulging in all the junkie behavior - lying, stealing, theiving, all to get drugs... and me & Rob can see it, but they refuse & just keep giving him money. But, Rob is still able to manipulate them as well, so whaddaya expect? They didn't learn w/Rob & they won't learn w/Alex. The only thing is that Alex is going to end up putting them in danger - they just got a big-screen TV, they've got a nice newer car... pretty sweet shit to his junkie friends. Everytime they go over to wherever he's crashed at they put themselves in a position to be followed home. And they're old - a stiff wind could knock Anton on his ass. I keep telling Rob's mom to have Alex committed - at least they'll know where he's at for 3 days in a row.
I want something fiery hot for dinner, but I don't know if I want hotwings or Samurai Sam's more... Samurai Sam's is bad for my b.p. & hotwings are bad for my cholesterol. Since I've been taking mega-doses of the Niacin, I've noticed less heartburn & that weird pain on my right side has gone away. Of course, I tried lifting weights the other day so my arms feel like they want to fall off. Actually, they ache like rotten teef. I should be getting my 'Ab-Lounger II' next month. I'll probably use it once & then it will become a clothes rack. Which reminds me, I need to clean out my closet so I can bring my unwanteds down here tomorrow for Peggy's Attic.
Rob's turning 35 on Thursday - I hope Smith's doesn't fuck up his cake.
Jamie got hired by the Jubilee chorus line - talented dancer getting to do sumpin' w/her talent - give the Universe a big Yeehaw! Of course, she doesn't want anyone to know, because, gasp! she's gonna be topless. Which has amused me & Rob for about 36 hrs. now... Rob wants to find out when the show starts again so we can get front row center tix, & after the show we can call her & tell her it would have been better if she'd actually been FACING the audience. Mwuhahahahaha!!!

Jody called me at work last night to inform me that Miranda is probably pregnant. She's had a skipped period (well, she can't remember exactly when her last period was) & a positive EPT. She'll probably be going to the doctor next week for a formal pregnancy test, & then to the welfare office (of course... where else do pregnant women go? Yes, yes, bad Karma on me, phooey - I work at Child Haven, I know how pregnant women think. More of my tax dollars at work). So much for her school & her basketball scholarships. Jody doesn't even seem very happy about the prospects. She's got a new puppy (Andy) & she said that he was there to remind her that she just doesn't have the patience for puppies & babies any more. I didn't even think to ask her what Tom thinks about the whole thing. And Miranda's ex-boyfriend (who assaulted her earlier this year) is the father - he told Miranda "Just because my dad abandoned me doesn't mean I'm going to do the same to my baby." But he's already missed a job interview up at the ranch w/out so much as a phone call, so Jody's not expecting too much from him. I didn't expect it to be Miranda, I figured it would be Jamie first. Dane & Tina already have their kids, which everyone expected. Jody was surprised that I didn't guess Miranda was pregnant right off - I never really expected it out of Jamie or Miranda, to be truthful. They both seem so focused on school & work, & Miranda's still hung up on her dad.
Saw Jeff briefly this morning. I actually miss him. Ugh. Have weird thoughts about him on occasion. I ought to do a hex-breaker but it's kind of interesting to feel weirdly about someone. I haven't felt weirdly about someone since I was a teenager.
Sarah got her nipple pierced - I don't feel weirdly about her at all ;)
Still trying to plan this whole BodyWorlds shebang. Trying to get Ann down to L.A. for the day w/us. It probably won't work out - she's very wishywashy.
Been reading Dion Fortune's 'The Goat Foot God'. It's basically a companion to 'The Sea Priestess' & 'Moon Magic'. Instead of a disillusioned man assisting a woman to connect with the Goddess, it's a disillusioned man trying to connect w/his inner Pan. It's been pretty interesting. Has a crotchety old bookseller in it, one of those, "Are you going to buy that book, sonny, or do I need to stand here all day?" kind of booksellers.
Finally went to that freakin' diversity class yesterday morning. Talked Molly out of a breakfast comp - the Excalibur's food isn't so bad when it's freshly cooked. Anyway, I heard some surprising statistics...
1) Approx. 70% of the world's population is illiterate, & only 1% has a college education. So it's not just me, most of the world really is stupid.
2) Only about 1% of the world's population owns a computer. If this is true, where do all the people on the internet come from?
3) 70% of the world's population is not Christian. Woohoo, I'm not a minority anymore!!!
Autumn is definitely creeping in on us on golden paws... the light's shifting, that underlying chill in the air, Rob's in the rutting mood. Things are starting to slip around the corners of my eyes, just out of sight, little noises & shifty sounds around the house & night audit office. The Veil is slowly but surely starting to thin. I'm getting all happy inside as the days slip by.

Farkin Farkety Fark Fark!
Sep. 7th, 2003 02:00 pmTwice now I've tried to add stuff to my journal, twice now I've been bumped offline in the middle of uploading it. Frazzen frackin farkety fark fark fark! #%$^&#$!!!
In brief: Jody's dad is making that long slow spiral into the waiting arms of whoever is standing there to catch him at the end of the Ultimate One Way Ride... He's in a lot of pain, and we all wish him the quickest release possible.
I'd like one divorce, please, with mayo & no cheese, thank you. Yes, as a matter of fact, I do want fries w/that.
