FYI
Hey all, 'sup? Sorry I haven't posted in ages. The reason is that I have a new journal. I'll probably still update this off and on. My new Blog is http://www.livejournal.com/users/dean_bean. Bye for now!

Oh man, what a day. For once, work wasn't the root of the problems (at least I don't think it was). I've just spent 6 hours in the emergency room for what I thought was just strep throat. Turns out that I've got either extremely aggressive tonsillitis or even possibly mono. Oh lovely. I spent about 4 hours of that time with an IV in my right arm, pumping antibiotics, steroids, and saline into my bloodstream. They had a specialist come in because I apparently had a golf ball sized pouch of pus in the back of my throat. The specialist was a bit worried because he though it might have been an abcess, which would be a possible sign of worse things to come. If it had been an abcess, they were going to drain the pus out of it. The doctor was even getting the morphine ready. Luckily, it's not an abcess, but is still worrisome. They're testing the blood they drew from my left arm and should have the results in about an hour. But the problem is that even if the tests tonight come back negative for mono, I could still have it because it is an extremely elusive disease. The upside of the whole thing is that I'm not allowed back to work until the doctor says so. At this point, that's at least a week. Anyway, I have to rest now because the doctor said so.

*Sighs* Work is really starting to stress me out. We have no one on dayshift, meaning I'm spending entire days in drive thru cash. I've already spent the last 3 days back there and judging by the schedule, tomorrow will be the same. And of course we've been completely slammed every day. Yesterday at breakfast we took in $1700. That's an average Saturday, the busiest day of the week. I'm giving myself till the end of september to find another job. Then, whether I have one or not, I'm quitting McDonald's. Then there's my problem of dwelling on things I shouldn't be which really tends to affect my work. Right now there's two things that I can't stop thinking about. One of them is my friend Michelle. She's going through some really tough times and I'm worried about her, as a friend should be. The other problem is another "friend" of mine. I put friend in quotes, because I'm really not sure what to consider her anymore. I don't want to lose her friendship, but on the other hand, she's hurt a lot of my friends and in doing so hurt me and I don't want any more pain from her. She's caused enough. What a dilemmna.
On a brighter note, the combination of work and me dwelling on too many things has finally given me an inspiration for my musical, which to date remains unnamed. But I hadn't had an inspiration in almost 2 months, so It was well needed. At this rate, I'll be finished with the show in 10 years or so. Oh well...I guess this is what they call life. *Sighs*
Quote of The Day:
That's life, that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life, I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life, that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
My, my!
