grease monkey

I'm going to go to work at Paul's garage. Best Buy will have to go away, or so it seems. In the end, I find I like Best Buy, and the people that work there. It is hard to leave when I've worked with so many really nice people. One idiot ruined the experience as a whole. In the end, you have to do what's best for you. I can work 3 days/ all weekend at Best Buy and have the money I need from the job, or work Just Sunday at the garage and get almost the same cash.

I offered to work Friday nights to help with the truck, I don't think they will accept the offer, oh well. I guess I'll have to get my car stereo next week when I get paid.

after flu fatigue

Wow. I think this was the first time I've been really sick in years. It just knocked me for a loop and even though it feels like I'm only cycling through the symptoms and cleaning my system out, I feel like I had my @$$ handed to me. My arms feel like rubber even as I type this.

I want to work out tonight, but I fear a relapse if I over exert myself.

The group came over last night. I think we have a strong dynamic. I think there is the makings of an awesome group. I look forward to the new adventure.

the big flu throwdown

I've been sick since Friday. I'd been trying to fight my way throught it all and losing horribly. I had a very high fever on Sunday - Tuesday. I've had very little sleep. What I had was sporadic and fitful. Monday I pulled out the big guns..... NyQuil Tuesday I I went no mercy....DayQuil. I feel pretty good today. My fever broke, the cogestion is loosening, my headache is gone, and I'm back to work. After a three day diet of juice, water, popcicles, and pseudoephedrine, I'm just lucid enough to perfom the mudane tasks of my job.

The vicks brand of drugs is a name you can count on.

NyQuil -
The licorice-flavored
liquor - laced
take a shot and slip into a coma medicine

I have recently discovered that NyQuil is psuedoehedra - free. It's not as effective as it once was. But DayQuil still gets to you. It does not relieve cold symptoms, it get you so high you do not care that you are sick.
