BRAINEATER:

Who's the most prone person to any illness? Me! Me!
In the past week I have been diagnosed with a serious UTI (Urinary Tract Infection, Mimi, NOT a form of birth control LOL) and to top everything off I have contacted Nevin's nasty-ass cold and overall feel like total shit. Mind you, this happened about a week after I recovered from a stomach flu. What the fuck? I take vitamins everyday, I work out, I eat somewhat healthy, why am I sick all the time?
It's really quite annoying.

Good times.

The Zen of Zombie: Better Living Through the Undead

Scott Kenemore

So, I know it's highly unlike me to Geek Out about work-related stuff ... oh wait, it's TOTALLY like me!
Whee! Here we go:

So, today we had this uber-important conference call at work since we are upgrading our systems this Saturday (yay, extra hours.) and I brought up this idea I'd been working on, thinking maybe my bosses would be like "Thanks, but no, thanks." but instead I got totally commended for my "initiative" and "creativity" and got myself my own little project of synchronizing our three websites and coordinating all corresponding PO's... My boss even said "That's the attitude that will get you far with us."

I'm totally happy right now, as geeky as that may be. A lot of people (mainly my cousin Diana LOL) have asked me why don't I just go to another job that pays me more and stuff and this is the kind of thing that makes me not wanna leave here. I've made more money in other places by doing a lot less than what I do now (mainly filing and being on myspace LOL) but I have never felt as FULFILLED as I do working in my little office. I feel appreciated and like my opinion matters and like what I do here actually affects my company.

That's worth way more than money.

I have been motherfucking sick since Memorial Day Weekend.
It's some stupid fucking stomach flu from Hell and even now (6 days later) I still suffer the remnants of this horrendous sickness.
I ask, why me?
Why is it me who always gets some demonic intestinal virus?
And why is it that, in the midst of my paranoid internet research, I find shit like this:

New Intestinal Superbug On The Rise

According to the article, "The infection, Clostridium difficile, is found in the colon and can cause diarrhea and a more serious intestinal condition known as colitis." and if that wasn't enough, "C-diff, as it's known, has grown resistant to certain antibiotics that work against other colon bacteria. The result: When patients take those antibiotics, competing bacteria die off and C-diff explodes."

So, yeah. I can't help but wonder why I seem to always have some sort of digestive problem.
What if I'm the host of some fucking crazy-ass bacteria/parasite the likes which have never been seen before?
I'm not saying I have C-Diff, I'm saying, what if it is something else?

The only request I can think of is, if they ever have to name a disease after me, call it the "Zombie Disease."
I mean, how cool would that be? Just imagine:

"Brenda, I have bad news ... I ... I spoke to Dr. Humbert and the X-Rays revealed it's something worse than we feared..."
"Oh, Poopy! Is it cancer?"
"No, I'm afraid it's worse ... I have .... I've been diagnosed with Zombie!"
*screams of horror*

So, the diet has been going good this week (except I'm still sneaking chocolate but shh!)
After cheating for a week straight and gaining about 4 lbs, I've been super fucking strict with both the gym and diet this week.
So far I weighed myself on Tuesday and had dropped 2lbs so far and will weigh myself again today (I have to sneak into the fricking weighing room because my trainer gets livid. He says "you're obsessed with the scale" and I'm all like "fuck off your face!") and hopefully I've lost 2-4 more lbs. My stomach looks flatter than last week and I feel energetic again, it's so weird how diet affects everything in your life, huh? When I was cheating and eating carbs I had no energy, looked and felt bloated and was super moody. I guess my body just can't take that sort of food again.

Anyway, so, tonight I'm gonna hang out with the Nevster and that should be a blast, as usual. We dunno what we are doing after the movie, so Mimi, feel free to hollah LOL

So, as I type this, they are installing the new desks in my office YAY!
I get my very own badass huge desk! Before I was in this lil wooden one that looked ghetto.
But since I am a woman with an assistant, I now get something more appropriate, I guess LOL

So, this Friday the Nevster and I plan on seeing the Indiana Jones movie...
