(personal/work) It's a sticky day.

Seriously.



I must be PMSing - I'm bitchy, bloated and ready to cut my stomach off with a butter knife. I am so done with being fat. So what do I do? I eat more. Bah.

And yes, I know I didn't get fat overnight, so it won't go away overnight. I know that. I'm venting.



Work was...weird. I dunno. I didn't get as many of the phone calls as I thought I would, considering tomorrow is payday for our biggest client. Most of them were, however, of the following vein:

Customer: "But why hasn't my paycheck been deposited into my account yet?"
Me: "Because tomorrow is payday, not today."
Customer: "But I can see my stub online today!"
Me: "It doesn't matter. Tomorrow is payday."
Customer: "That sucks."
Me: "Yep."
Customer: "So why hasn't my paycheck shown up in my account yet?"

Yeah, I deal with brain surgeons on a general basis.

And now, I'm going to write tonight, as I put together a goodie basket for a friend that I need to mail out tomorrow. I know I owe some of you some stuff from the contest - those will be going out in a few days.

I started character sketches for Shanghai today at lunch. Pulled out my character generation book and the dice and got started. Tonight is Dreams.

*hugs* I know how you feel. All of it.

But writing is definitely good therapy for the day's idiocy.

*hugs*

Thanks.

Massage can help. Mix 10 drops of essential oil of clary sage with 100ml carrier oil. Rub this vigourously directly over the base of your spine. It'll help with the discomfort and the bloating. Also rub the outsides of your ankles- right around the bone, especially towards the back (you'll feel the tender spot that is the acupresure point quite readily).

Be well. :)

Hmm, think I'll have to pick up some clary sage oil - I don't have that one. Would it work with a different oil that I enjoy?

Thanks for the suggestion!

"So, my check is usually deposited the day before. How come it's not in my account?"

Maam, we send funds to your bank for payday, if they make it available before, that is not up to us.

Yep. Like I said, brain surgeons.

*hugs* PMS is absolutely terrible. I've been self-medicating with quinine water the past few months. Doesn't do so much for the mood, but dissolves the cramps and back pain, which is worth a lot.

No cramps or back pain here. Just general bitchiness. :P

Quoting a radiologist of my acqaintance:

"You can always tell a surgeon. You just can't tell them much."
