spacemonkeyluvnfeeling 
slightly depressed (but trying to cheer myself up)
well, that was a mistake. i guess i shouldn't call my mom when i'm in a good mood. i love her, i know she loves me, and i understand that she's going through some really shitty stuff at work right now, but i always end up feeling depressed after talking to her. well, not always, but often enough. she misunderstands something i say so i say forget it and she gets pissed off at me.
last night my stomach hurt so bad i couldn't even lie down. i guess i ate too much but i don't remember eating that much. i guess i just haven't been eating as much as i used to since i've been at my dad's. they buy less junk food, thankfully. so i took Pepto-bismal which made me want to puke, and finally fell asleep. luckily today was better.
work started out slowly, but then people had to come in to install the air conditioner so i got to leave the room and do more interesting things. also, i had to take a radiation/X-ray safety thing where i watch a (very cheesy) 45 min film about how i was already probably going to die of cancer anyway, so a little bit more at work won't hurt. the old man in his chair also told me that the increased risk of cancer for people working with radioactive material was the same as their odds of being murdered. so, in all likelihood, i'm going to die a terrible and painful death. i still laughed through most of it. and then we had to take a quiz where i was the first non-exec to get 100%, so go me ^_^
then i come home to find that i had won
XD i didn't even know i had been nominated. sweet! and now, in the few hours i have before i go to sleep, i'm going to be watching The Mighty Boosh because right now, it cheers me up like nothing else <3
i taped Inside the Actors Studio with Hugh Laurie but i haven't watched it yet. i also have to burn it to DVD for my mom cause we don't have Bravo at home.
i need to get V for Vendetta soon. among other things... and i get my first paycheck this Friday. too bad i have to save most of it for school books.

Date: 2006-08-02 06:03 am (UTC)Ah, the barrel o' laughs known as the radiation safety seminar! You know, my PI had a bone scan once that left him with a radioactive tracer in his bones for a few hours. He did just what you would want to do if you were radioactive - he played jokes on folk he knew in labs. Starting from 'I can create radioactivity with my hands' and going to the inevitable 'who has the hottest ass' contest.
It's always a tradeoff. Do I call someone I love who's going through a hard time when I'm up or when I'm down? I usually do the former. I can at least have a shot at cheering him or her up, and although I might feel lousy afterwards, I won't feel like utter shit, at least. :p

Date: 2006-08-03 05:38 am (UTC)i love it ;)
i see what you mean about calling them when you're up. makes sense to me. and another reason why i love my mom is that this morning i got a text from her that said "I'm sorry if I was a bitch last nite. I love you so much and don't mean to get like that. I hope u have a great day. *picture of flowers*"
i just wish there was more i could do to help her. that's one of the reasons i wanted a job so badly. even if just for a month, i could help out a little. i always feel so guilty when she gives me money.
