Nervous breakdown? Why, yes, I would love one!

This has been a crappy week so far. Our Road Runner service decided it would work when it wanted to, so I missed a couple of days of work, which I stupidly agreed to make up instead of just using vacation time that I have and won't need this year, since I will earn more than I will use.

Then, something happened that has thrown me into OCD overdrive. I will not share (don't bother asking) but it really set me off and now I want to scrub something, anything, UGH!

Fortunately, I don't have to do anything that normally gives me a headache this week. I can only take one crisis at a time. If I had to fly this week, we would have a problem.

One bright moment, the icky thing that happened, I DID call Jerry and share with him, so he can feel all nasty too. That was fun. I like to spread the love when I can.

John, of course, thinks I am just insane. No kidding.

Being the eternal optimist that I am (actually I have come to believe it is not optimism, it is just that I am too lazy to waste energy crying and whining about things), I assume things will pick up soon. I think my first step in that direction will be requesting my vacation time for one of the days I missed. Screw em. I work my ass off (stop laughing, I do!) for them and am pretty sick of always trying to make them happy. My cable was out, just pay me for the day and move on.

So, now that we have my bitching session behind us...let's proceed with a decent post.

I read a headline on AOL when I went to check my email that "Scientists discover naked mole rats feel no pain" I was interested in this, since I love Kim Possible on Disney Channel. I do admit I never read the article, since I was distracted by the 80 emails I had, NONE of which were anything but crap. Big big pat on that back for that AMAZING SPAM filter, AOL!

Afterwards, when I was trying to fill my head with ANYTHING but the urge to take 50 showers in scalding water (see above), I started to think about it. How did scientists discover this? Did they poke them with pins? Twist their little mole rat arms? And if that is all it takes to make groundbreaking discoveries, why in the hell didn't I become a scientist? Make 100 grand a year beating on small hairless rodents? I can DO THAT!

So, I am applying to UB for the Fall. My major? Science, of course!
