The Storm

Chinese Food was excellent!  I ate every bite – which is unusual for me.  The steroids were to blame for that.  I can’t get enough to eat lately, no matter what meal it is.

It rained all night long, we had serious storms and even a power outage.  As if that wasn’t bad enough I had to spend another night with AT&T when all I wanted to do is rest.  Here’s my latest problem.  If you want to send an e-mail to a phone and have it show up as a text message on AT&T you compose your message like this cell number@txt.att.net or you can do cellnumber@mms.att.net  Well since I had a block on my line, it apparently is showing removed in the system but it didn’t really get removed.  All of the mail I sent last night got returned.  So I called Customer Service for what I thought would be a 5 minute fix but I spent almost an hour on the phone with them, most of that on hold.  The representative I talked to (Bob) looked over everything and talked to 2 other departments.  No one knows how to fix this because the system is showing all of the settings for my account correct.  So they are pointing the finger at IOS6 and Apple.  I was able to fire back my partner has the same phone and he can get these messages, so it’s not IOS6 and it’s not Apple.  This is an AT&T problem – one of their servers is programmed to reject the mail based on the previous block but they are too stupid to know how to unblock it.  Since I got a contact in the Office of the President, I am using that to see if he can pressure someone into fixing this.  I mean I am paying for the service so it needs to work – or they can charge me 1/2 price since it works 1/2 way.

It feels like there is a storm in my head.  Each morning things are getting worse and worse.  Also each morning I take less and less steroids.  So this makes sense to me.  Right now I just want a drill to bore some holes in my face and head to let the pressure out.  While your at it, give me a set of super grip pliers so I can pull my teeth too.  Everything in my head hurts. 

I am tired of being sick and sick of being tired.  So I thought take the less expensive route and call the Allergist.  I heard his voice in the background but he is not seeing patients today.  WTF!  Why come in the office then.  So they booked me for an appointment tomorrow morning.  I took it.  Then I thought well relief today sure would be nice, so I called my PCP and well he isn’t in the office on Wednesdays.  So I am seeing his Nurse Practionier this afternoon.  The part that sucks is that I have to take time from work.  I figure though I want/need a break so this is perfect.  I will take the afternoon off and take care of me.  I’m not wild about seeing this lady since last time I was all naked and probed by her.  Yes I still remember and it hurts!  However, she can get me something to fix all of this and perhaps a different antibiotic or just an extension.  All I know is I need help and quickly. 

The best part about being on steroids is no one in the office even suspects that I am sick.  If I was smarter and didn’t worry about my job so much, I would have just stayed home.  However, I have worries and also I have something going most every day this week in the way of appointments with folks.

I have setup my schedule so that I will be in the office all day tomorrow and then on Friday I will be going back to the remote site to take care of the wiring work.  All of the equipment came in this morning.  I could do it tomorrow but I would rather save it for Friday, that way I can hopefully get an early jump start on my weekend.  That sure would be nice!

I’m sitting here squinting at the monitor wondering what is different.  Dumbass I forgot to put on my glasses.  They are in my lunch box just chilling – literally.  See there is way too much going on in my life at the moment.  I need me time – down time and time to relax.  Lord knows I have planned for it but my plans never seem to work out.  Perhaps this afternoon things will start to get better.

Best part of all of this is Boss Man is out for the week.  So I get to tell his “girl” the good news about me leaving early.  I will be doing that shortly.

Right now I am working on a system that powers off, is slow and just plain doesn’t act right.  Turns out it’s loaded up with Adware and Spyware.  I’m just waiting for the viruses and malware to show up on the scan.  Poor machine, it’s about as sick as me!  Sadly I can fix it but can’t fix myself w/o help from a doctor.  Ah well.

We are supposed to do Mexican Food tonight – I’m thinking it will be good for my nose.  Some spice to help drain all of this junk out of me.  Not to mention it will be tasty!  At this point Chicken Noodle Soup and PB&J sounds really good too, followed by a nice nap!  I need to get back to it, so take care and  will talk with you peeps later!
