Just go to your boss anyway and let him know about your concerns that a disturbing rumor is being circulated about you and what it is all about. And that you don't know who is starting / encouraging it but lack of any response on the part of the employer once given notice could be seen as being part of the harassment.

I think that would have been a cold slice of pizza, some smoked whitefish and the last half of a pina colada smoothie. It was leftovers from the day before and I really didn't feel like oatmeal and coffee so I emptied the fridge instead.

Naw. I already haz to be grown up all day long. I'm now at home, wearing the Cat Ears of Shitposting.

Is it radiating from one side forward towards the center? And have you been more stressed than usual? I ask because I had 'shoot me in the head' level jaw pain like a month ago. It was the same level of bullshit pain that I had experienced with the jaw tumor so I went to the same surgeon to check things. Turns out I was grinding the ever loving shit out of my teeth while I slept due to stress build-up and it had absolutely jacked the crap out of my hinge. I ended up on muscle relaxers for a couple of weeks to help me sleep at night, dealt with some of the more controllable stressors, and showed enough progress I didn't need to get some sort of mouth guard. So if you've been extra stressed and think it could be that, go to a dentist to clear any other conditions [ x-ray will show if it's something else ] and go from there. A dentist should hopefully be cheaper than a hospital doctor and if they decide to go the mouth guard route, many can make them on-site now. Hope you get better.

Sounds legit. Cats are always demanding something. I suggest telling the furball to get a job and then she can buy all the catnip she wants herself.

They are a fun treat on occasion. I'm seriously jonesing for some Flying Cauldron now.

If you are really looking into practice for practice sake, you could always look into pop culture folk saints.

If he's on stage, he might not be allowed Gatorade though if he can even get some. Water will at least rehydrate his guts so they aren't literally irritating the shit out of him. Salt packet will help a little too and might be something that can be found if the venue serves food. Or, like Poof suggested, he could roll with it and use any issues for comedic purposes... 'You've heard the saying 'laying an egg' before, right? Well, you've been such a delightful audience that I think I'll share a Cadbury egg that I've been keeping warm this entire time.' * starts singing 'Chocolate Rain' as he leaves the stage...

Bad, comedian, bad. water water water water

Chewable pepto tabs, at least two. And lots of water. And maybe some poo-pourri. You have to run out of ammo at some point, right?

It's a well-known herb that can be used to lower blood sugar and, ironically enough despite the name, blood pressure when used as a tea. FUN KILLER.

I CAN SEE INTO THE 5TH DIMENSION! O.O BLARRGH! Just kidding, I fell asleep.

Killing fun.

Plasma. Or if you live in an area that has one, medical guinea pig. You can potentially make hundreds to thousands of dollars for some studies depending on the time and tests needed. Some studies only last a weekend too.

They have to be extra sweet. Caffeine by itself at those levels is absolutely nasty. If you've ever had those caffeine pills in college, they are bitter as hell. No one would drink that without losing a dare.

As hard as it might be, this might be one of those times where you confide in a manager regarding your current health issues. It can be hard because it might feel like you are only saying something for pity but you are not. Form it in a way that lets them know you are telling them because you feel they should know in case something happens. A good manager won't go blabbing to anyone else about it so the only people who would know would be whoever you tell and they should be more willing to work with you on schedules and stuff without anyone else really being the wiser because it's gone from 'burn out' to 'medical necessity' - totally different rules on that. You aren't running screaming from the building, you still want to work but you need time for yourself too. I've been in this position myself. The only people to know anything was going on were the other managers just in case someone needed to step into my position for any extended period of time. My schedule was moved around a little to accommodate various doctor crap and no one outside of the few that needed to know were aware of anything going on. In the end, I didn't lose all that much time, recovery occurred and all that really remains is that some floor tasks [ like lifting heavy items and going up and down ladders ] were switched out to other things that still need to get done. Similar could be done for you with your hours adjusted and your minimums changed to show quality not quantity - lessened load, lessened stress, slower burn to actual burnout that might even flicker out because you'd still be showing yourself that you can handle this while dealing with the other.

Wtf. How many did he frickin' drink? I think I had a reaction like that to OK Soda way back in the day but I drank something like a 6 or 12 pack in a row. Counting doesn't exist after awhile. <.< >.> I've had them. They are decent enough. I like the pina colada flavored one the most. Cotton Candy and Blue Razz are ok too. When I drink them at work, they help a little but if I drink them at home, I tend to take a nap after.

It's not really bad per se. It's more like wanting a physical validation to a particular situation - with a medical issue, surgery is a definite physical validation. It's a blaring sign saying 'I told you shit happened' . I'm still hoping it isn't serious for you though. Brain surgeries freak me out. >.< And I'm not even the one looking at one! Is there some way while you are dealing with things that you'd be able to get reduced to part-time or different hours anyway as a preemptive health thing? Reduced stress helps things heal faster and even some non-invasive procedure could always use some extra relaxing time.

No. If I wanted fart incense, I'd just give my cat something with fish in it and she'd fume the entire place. >.<

3 parts French Vanilla 1 part Mountain Blueberry 3 spoons creamer 3 spoons sugar 1 dash amaretto It's a very mellow coffee that has a hint of blueberry muffin to it.

I plan on taking a nap at some point that day. Although I do have a Full Moon blend incense that I've never tried before. That could be fun.

Aw, did the fetus gain another year? Merry Hatchmas!
