Although I have been doing all that I can think to keep myself from getting sicker, all is happening is that my fever continues to rise. Yesterday it was stagnant. Around 99.1. Today It went from there to 99.8. I fear what I will wake up with. Especially because I have a six hour shift tomorrow that I cannot miss. It is interesting to me that companies will say "don't get your co workers and customers sick" but also make it impossible for you to call out without some sort of retribution. And the fact is that I need this money. So I hope that by the time I wake up tomorrow, instead of my fever rising and thusly my feeling worse, that it will magically have completely dissipated. I will wake up with a perfect temperature. (I have a naturally low temperature. Between 97.5 and 98.3. Therefore a 99.1 is equivalent to the average persons 100+)

I enjoy work though. I actually want to go to work. I am one of the oldest people at my job. By a good margin I believe. Most of the employees seem to be around 17 or 18. But they are all so friendly. They hug each other! And they hug me! Almost every other job I have ever had has expected me to fade in to the background until I have earned my place. They just accepted me as part of the team and were hugging me right away. I may not be on the same level as them in almost any way, but they are nice people and they make me feel good.

Except for the one guy. Zach. He says "fag" alot. And was joking about Big Eric being a "fag" and sucking the guy he smokes with during breaks dick. I wanted to punch the kid in the face. I thought we were over the era of saying "fag." I especially thought that people who worked somewhere like Hot Topic, being counter culture themselves, would be aware enough not to use the word. Apparently not. I am going to either have to say something nicely to him, or ask a manager to talk to him. Because if I hear it more I am seriously going to snap.

One of my managers is too adorable. Yes. Too. It is not okay for ones managers to be adorable. Especially when they are younger than you, intelligent, prone to flirting, and very charismatic. So thusly I am trying my hardest NOT to fall for little Eric. (My bosses are Big Eric and Little Eric. Both are younger than I am.) He is making it very hard for me. Someone, I need help convincing myself that falling for my twenty year old manager is a BAD Idea.

I got a lot of my christmas shopping done. I have everything for my family. I got Darcy his requisite Tinkerbell item. This time a hoodie, that looks very similar to the very hipster one he was wearing last time I saw him, except it also has tinkerbell on it. But I didn't stop there. Normally I get him just a tinkerbell toy. This time? This time I discovered that my store sells FALL OUT BOY ACTION FIGURES. How amazingly disgusting is that? So I absolutely had to get him one. I made sure to get himt he lead singer, and I am quite proud to say that I had to ask my fellow employees which one he was. I am mostly making Halfjack a present that probably won't be done for around a month, but when I was shopping for others at my store I saw something that I absolutely HAD to get him. He will be horrified and amazed. I got my friend Jamie a "Nobody wants to play sega with Harrson Ford" poster from Brandon Bird. The stuff that man has done is amazing and hysterical.

I am still really torn as to what to do for corinthia and morgan. They should be the easiest to shop for, being my two closest female friends, but at the same time it means that I want to get them both something SUPER EXTRA special. Not just normal special. (though fall out boy action figures are super extra special.)

So now I am here, awake when I don't want to be. Some cuddling would be nice. Any volunteers?

Oh. And cocoabutter is AWESOME. And I got a cd from him. His CD will be going out tomorrow!

And people I promised presents, those should be going out tomorrow or the next day.

I love you all.
