Well, I don't have an appointment with the oral surgeon until Tuesday afternoon. Stupid holiday weekend. Even then, it's only a consultation appointment, so who knows when the teeth will really come out. The pain comes in waves of severity. I haven't had a full night's sleep in a week and I'm exhausted. I hope they come out sooner than later. In the mean time, I have a prescription for Vicodin (got the generic equivalent) and so far I'm not impressed with it. Last night I either hallucinated that the pain was worse or it really was until I finally got knocked out. Then I woke up feeling like crap. The drug-induced didn't really get good sound sleep feeling. Ugh. To help cover the cost of all of this, I'm going to be working tomorrow and Monday. Hopefully my next paycheck will be pretty decent since Monday will be time and a half and tomorrow will be all OT. Now that I'm becoming more skilled, I'm hoping I'll get offered more OT on a regular basis and I won't have to find another part-time job. My supervisor said that the company doesn't mind paying OT as long as work is getting done. We'll see.
I finally found a thermostat for my car, but nobody in town has the freaking gasket. How lame! We went to three separate automotive chains today: one didn't carry it and two others' computers said they had one in stock, but the clerks couldn't find it. I'll try a couple of more tomorrow when I get off work before I get totally pissed. I'm hoping that it takes care of the problem because I don't have the money for huge auto repairs right now. It's bad enough that my air conditioning decided to break just as we're coming into summer. *sigh*
I need to go to bed since I'm working tomorrow, but I'm waiting for the drugs to kick in. I took the pill like an hour ago and I still feel the same. I'll be interested to read this post in the morning and see if it's all jacked. LOL
One last thing: Anybody have any particular preferences as far as photo paper? I'm all out and I was looking at the various brands at CompUsa last weekend and they all don't really compare well. What has worked best for you in the past? What really sucked? I should mention that I'm using an Epson Stylus Photo R340. Anyway, any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. I'd hate to waste money on crappy paper since the stuff is so freaking expensive. I wish I could get some samples and do some tests before I bought a whole pack. Is there any way to get samples from somewhere?
Since I'm babbling away, do you guys ever check out the Apple ads on the International sites? My favorites are the guys from Apple UK. A lot of the ads are similar to ones in the US, but there are a couple that are different. My favorite one right now is Office Posse. I played it for my supervisor at work today (it's on my iPod) and he laughed out loud. Go check it out. Right now.
