My son?!

Yep, that was my reaction to this silly salesgirl at a certain toystore. There I was asking how much was that Prince of Persia - sands of Time for the GameCube. The first thing she told me, which was reasonable, was that this wasn't the new P.O.P - Warrior Within. Kewl - knew that, thanks. Then she crossed the line! Yep, you guessed it - she asked me if I was getting it for my son! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

I looked at her and laughed. (kept my cool.) I told her no it was a gift for me. She acted surprised. I also told her that my mom already beat the game. The salesgirl was again surprised.

"Oh, your mom plays. That's cool."

"That's right. My mom is hardcore."

I forgot to tell her that my sister plays too! When I left, I told my sister and her boyfriend what happened and he was like, "So?" So my sister straightened him out. Of course he wouldn't understand since when he goes into a gamestore, they aren't trying to talk him through a sale. I fucking know what I want but these guys feel like they have to walk you through it. Assholes.

Happy Holidays?

Ah, another Christmas... another dollar. Yep, after all the articles I have been reading about Christmas trees, songs that contain Jesus and anything remotely resembling "christianity" being removed from displays around the country - I am starting to realize that this holiday is all about the dollar! Now, it's just going to get easier as people become more PC. To be honest, PC is BS. People are always going to get offended. This may be news to some people but the world is not perfect.

Here in the U.S., we have a man who stole the presidency twice. Although, they haven't spoken more about those poling machines - there were alot of inconsistencies and people did have alot of complaints about them. People who voted for Kerry and Bush kept coming up when they went to finalize their vote. WTF?

Also, fuck Time Magazine. PERSON OF THE YEAR?! How the fuck did that happen? He has the nerve to take photo ops with injuried soldiers and he cut Veteran benefits. He has raised the Recommended Family contribution for Financial Aid. Does he fucking realize that it's hard to pay for college as it is and then U.S. companies are sending jobs abroad for cheap labor and more profit.

Yep, these are the things that dampened my holidays. I felt like shit for most of it. I am sure that being in a fucking cast didn't help. I was trying to wish you all a happy holidays. I can't even say Happy New Year since we got the coward for President for another 4 fucking years. Yeah, there goes my reproductive rights, my right to privacy, and my right to protest. I will probably not be able to get a decent wage - let alone good benefits. Working more hours for less pay. Yeah, sure... hap-pee noo year.

Yikes! It's been awhile...

Tired is all I have been feeling lately. I have been doing a lot of Christmas shopping since its that time of the year. I am short one gift and I plan on getting that tomorrow. Otherwise than that, I am trying to take it easy.

I did beat SIN this weekend! It was so sad *FFX SPOILER* when Jecht died. ::sniffle:: and then when Tidus faded away. He was so cute in the cinemas. Anyway, I am glad to finally finish this game. Now am going sit back and enjoy "Return of the King".

Visit with the doctor

On Tuesday, I hit my beloved Dr. Cavaliere. When his assistant saw me, she laughed. She was commenting on how I was my own doctor. I had my crutches and my stabilizer boot! She had to ask me if I even saw a doctor or did I wrap my foot myself. LOL

When I told the Dr. about the advice that the ER doctor gave me, he was surprised. He said they should have at least given me a soft cast. He also said that it sounded like I was at a hospital in a foreign country. He took x-rays and it turns out that my fracture was indeed in perfect anatomical alignment meaning that I broke it but it didn't shift. He gave me an unna boot (a soft cast) and told me to rest. He said I could walk but he didn't recommend me driving.

DILEMMA HERE! I have to drive to work! So he told me that he can't tell me that I can drive. Understandable. I know that I can't drive with the stabilizer boot. There isn't enough room for it. But I may be able to with the surgical shoe. I will try this tomorrow since my foot is just swollen and the pain had been brought to a minimum thanks to the soft cast.

I am hoping that I still have a job on Monday! :-
