I'm flattered and all but uh how did you do that thing

Eris:
I got scolded very publicly yesterday at work for apparently not working hard enough, by the girl who is very vocal about how she is "Over all this" and doesn't really do anything properly these days. All because I put some dishes down on a cabinet while clearing a table rather than taking them to the kitchen (which I was going to do after I cleared all the goddamn dishes). I then kept myself busy away from that girl and constantly kept taking plates off that cabinet into the kitchen because people left them there. Pissed. Off. I was so angry that I didn't eat at all my shift; I preferred to go hungry rather than have anything from that place.

It really is the straw that has broken this camel's back. I am getting paid shit money, and now being treated like shit. They're not training me up when I want to learn, they are training the new bosses who can't deal with customers well in the first place, and one of them you can tell doesn't really even want to be there. They're not giving one of the other girls a chance to practice managing the store, but they also aren't paying her more for the manager role she is already doing because they will pay her more "when she gets better". I was going to hold out, because two girls are leaving very soon, and a third will probably be leaving soon as well, and they're not trialling new staff so they're going to be screwed, but fuck them. I really want very little to do with that cafe now, and the fact that I am going to be working there until I get a new job is going to be hard enough as it is.

So a few months ago I got a routine checkup w/ my doctor and got some bloodwork done. Perfectly normal results except a very abnormally high bilirubin count, which is generally indicative of serious liver problems. I recently got more work done and while not everything has come back, it seems to confirm that yep, I have a chronically high bilirubin while otherwise been exceptionally healthy.

What that more than likely means is that I have Gilbert's Syndrome. Which sounds ridiculously serious and just the name sent me into a spiral of wonder how much it'll cost and how much medication I'll have to take to live a normal healthy life. My worries were a little pre-emptive to say the least, however. Because what Gilbert's Syndrome is is actually the single most badass genetic disorder I have ever heard of. I don't know why they even call it a syndrome- they need to make up a new word to describe this thing because the symptoms basically read like a Fallout 3 perk:

Pros:

* Increased resistance to heart disease
* Increased ability to lose and control weight
* Increased energy
* I fucking turn yellow when stressed like the goddamn Hulk but much lamer I guess Cons:

* Mild ADD
* Mild insomnia
Basically I am so healthy that even when I get genetic disorders they turn out to be mild superpowers. Fuck yeah, life!

Ozymandias:
Also like...a queen ant just flew onto my monitor and I was like "holy shit" and I tried to take a screenshot and then I realized I'm a moron,

McTaggart:
There is this girl who I do not get along with. Since the first time we met she's just grated on me and the feeling has always been mutual. This is despite us making very similar jokes, liking similar things and making the same references to things. Anyway at a party last night I confused Eazy-E with Flava Flav and she was a total bitch about it, but it turns out that she really like west coast hiphop while I prefer east coast hiphop and maybe that is why we don't get along. Or maybe it's that she can be a total bitch about confusing some rappers with similar names who played sort of similar roles in their respective groups.
