happy new year!
y'all aint never gonna believe what the last few days have been like for me. so i get back into portland on the 29th and ive caught some NEW flu strain from either my nephew or my cousin while i was away and its lodged right in my nasal passages. the last 15 minutes of our descent into the airport i was in excruciating pain because of the pressure change (FYI: for anyone who has never had clogged sinuses and flown, it is a bad idea). then i couldnt hear out of my right ear for the whole rest of the day and into the next day.
when i got home, my phone line was dead, and since i have dial-up that meant no internet until i could get it fixed. well, none of the 3 different dudes who came out to fix it could figure out where the problem was, so after 5 days the guy today just installeda new jack across the room from the old one. that meant i had to move everything around and run an extension cord across my floor and wedge my computer into a corner. but it works now!
and i still feel shitty.
i also got fired while i was on vacation because they did a dmv check and said my driving record was unacceptable, even though i told them about my driving record when they hired me. more on that later. i dont even HAVE to drive for my job. there are enough of us per shift that other staff can drive. whatever.
2004 has nowhere to go but up for me.
