Notes From Work

I'm bored. What were the odds? I finished me book on the way to work today, early because Rob caleld in again. I ran into Rob on the playform, and he filled me in on the situation, and how it's progressing. Apparently her MRI revealed a dark partch near her nasal cavity, and they suspect, after consultation with a brain surgeon, that she has a severe sinus infection that was causing swelling bad enough to punch off some nerves, cause her left side to go numb.

Anyway, I'm bored, as I tend to be anymore that I don't smoke. I also realized that I'm fully chewing WAY too much of this Black Black gum, with the nicotine/caffeine coating for Hi-Technical Excellent Tase and Flavor. I should probably stop chewing it because I find myself wanting a cup of coffee when I'm at home, which I swore I would never start drinking. It IS weird though, thinking about all the smoking I used to do. It's hard to imagine actually smoking that much, even though I most certainly did. I wonder how long it will be before I smoke again, even just one cigarette.

I'm getting 2 lessons of O.T. today, becaues of Rob's absence, and that's just dandy. I certain;y can use the extra money, especially now that Serena has announced she is coming to visit/stay with me from the 5th to the 17th of December. That's gonna be interested and I need to start arranging swaps. I already have the one on the 13th arranged, so hopefully I'll find people to do the other two.

Jeb called me this morning on the train. I hadn't spoked to her in near a week. I never feel like I could call her because it's a house phone. I wonder if she realized that I would actually ever call her if she would get a cell phone already.

The weirdest shit pops into my head sometimes. I thought about how they talk about the whiteness of paper in the books I'm reading as a sign of success and wealth, and so I was thinking if I were to travel back in time instead of bringing money that wouldn't be from the right time I could just bring some commodity that's relatively inexpensive, for example reams of bleached white paper. It's good to know that I'll be financially stable should I find a way to travel through time.

I hope my kids classes go well today. Yesterday I was lucky enough to have thre problem kids simply not show up, but I know that's a lot to hope for two days in a row, especially with today not being the holiday that yesterday was. Oh well.

I have to go to an English bookstore soon and see if I can gine a copy of the next couple books in the Wheel of Time series I've been reading. I can always read other books in the meantime, but that's what I'd prefer. I should check though first, since I'm not even sure if there IS another book out yet (correction, there are 2: Knife of Dreams and New Spring, a prequel). 10 of these books now I've read. I've read ~7500 pages of Robert Jordan's work. Yeesh.

They're playing Christmas carols in my mall, a rum-pum-pum-pum.
I need to get laid.
