What a day

Yesterday Dave asked me what the most interesting thing that I learned while studying was. I couldn’t quite decide, but one handy tidbit I picked up was an effective cure for mild constipation. Soak in a warm bath. It relaxes the muscles and makes it easier. I learned this when I read about a BDSM participant who had an unfortunate incident with a difficult-to-remove anal plug. Try it next time!

Today was a bad day because I lost my job. Well…actually, the loss of the job was the least traumatic part of the day. I went into work today hoping for a firing that would allow me to get out of my contract, that's how much I had grown to hate my job at the nursing home. To make a long story short, there was an incident with a patient, and even though it soon became clear that it wasn't my fault at all, during the interview they found out that I don't know CPR. Apparently CPR is a requirement to work there. They didn’t tell me or my staffing agency when I was hired that I needed to know it. In the end they didn’t blame me for my actions, but they did want me replaced on account of my CPR ignorance. I don’t care. The staffing agency that placed me there didn’t blame me at all and asked if I wanted to take a CPR course and then go back. I said no...right now I’d rather be poor and happy than flush and working there.

Of course, this does put me in a dicey financial position. Some of the bills are eased because of my cohabitation with Mike, but for some I’ll be dipping into the ol’ savings account. Suck.

So if anyone has some good moneymaking ideas, let me know. I’m not sure that a place like McDonald’s or Borders would hire me just until the school year begins, so I’ll be hitting Craigslist later in hopes of scraping up an odd job.

Man. Some days you shouldn’t even bother getting out of bed.

Ah well. At least I don’t have any anal plug problems.
