Buh.

Plague round 50 million. When I was sick a little while ago, I didn't go to the doctor. I self medicated on Mucinex, I got better eventually. But this shit is back. I was terrified that I had strep because people at work have been getting it, so I went to the Student Health Clinic on campus today. Lo and behold. I have a sinus infection. So, the nurse prescribed an antibiotic, and suggested to continue my use of Mucinex on top on Sudafed. Exciting. No work for me tonight. I've been in bed since 2:00 this afternoon and I'm starting to get bored, but the rest of my house is cold. We keep the thermostat on 68 degrees, brrrr.

Fun stories from work?

We hired this new host who happens to be pregnant. No big deal except for the fact that she thought she had to hide it. We could talk about a couple different things here, but first and foremost the fact that she feared she wouldn't be hired. I assured her that they couldn't refuse to hire on that basis, but the truth is, they can. They don't have to give her a reason, but the sad truth is that it happens all the time. She gets a little more fascinating than this, though.

The baby's daddy is in jail and she has a restraining order against him. I found this out from my new honest friend because the "baby daddy's" brother came into the bar. Ohh.. it gets better. She tells me all this and then she says, "I need a cigarette." Really? You? Wow. I looked at her with the sort of look that any normal human being would give her given the affects smoking has on babies. She says, "I know, I know, people keep telling me that I shouldn't, but I don't care."

The kicker here is that she doesn't just smoke, she takes pills and drinks. And brags about it. BRAGS. So, when she tells me that she's 4 months along and she thinks that she's having contractions, I just kind of look at her funny, because #1 I don't know enough to know if that's possible this early in her pregnancy and #2 because my first hunch is maybe the stuff you're putting in your body is BAD. Hmm..

Get this, though. Her new bf is a line cook who's on work release with the jail. Also, the word is that he's also an informant for the cops to lessen his time in jail. Informant for what? Drugs. If you've ever worked in a restaurant, you know what I'm talking about. What's he in jail for? $10,000 in back pay for child support! He's definitely a winner.

Where do these people come from?
