I have 2 herniated discs in my lower back. I knew that when I startd going back to the gym last month. Actually I've known for about 13 years now. However that didn't stop me when my trainer told me to put that bar across my shoulders and do squats. Pride is a motherfucker. Because I couldn't tell her that I have a bad back I went ahead and tried to do it anyfuckingways. Well. I haven't left my apartment since Monday night after meeting with the artists who's gonna do my next tattoo. I missed work Tuesday, and Wednsday. I have to go in tomorrow so that I don't get pointed.(We have a points system at work so that if you're late, don't show up, whatever. You get so many points for each offense until you reach 20 then you get fired.) Hopefully the other barback will let me leave and take over my bars. But I need money. I'm not broke or anything yet, but on the other hand I can't afford to be out of work for very long. I got this tattoo that I'm starting Sunday, bills coming in, rent's gonna be due in a couple weeks, and I really want to save some money to fly home for a week or so this summer. I've hurt my back plenty of times, and everytime it's a week of taking it easy until it's better. I can't wait. I need to go back to work now.
