Swaaaampy… I…

Hm. Actually, I _did_ get paid today. Huh.

Not from the security guy though, I’m going to have to collect the last two week’s wages from him next Sattiday. The horsey place just paid for the irk from a few weeks back though. I haven’t told them about new job yet (as they’re not expecting me in for a month, I didn’t rush); I’m going to see if they want to keep me as a volunteer option for the tack shop, as I don’t think I’ll have enough free time to really do it as a second job, but I might be able to do the odd shift. They are really nice, and it’s a lovely place, so I’d like to stay involved if I can.

Orfe oop North again tomorrow mornin’! Didn’t have irk tonight, the jerk didn’t bother telling m. I sent him a biiig long text saying I’ve been offered another job, so I quit, but I could still do today if he’d already done the scheduling, just let me know asap please, and could I pick up the paperirk sometime, including a letter confirming irk start and finish dates if possible, and got the reply… _drumroll_…

“yes”

I am so glad I’m almost done with him.

He did follow up with a message saying I can’t get leaving paperirk till next week, so I don’t think he was just replying to someone else.

If you had paid attention instead of readin’ about drugs for heterosexuals you would’ve learned what to do so it’s still your fault. Go read the tutorials. 😛

There are tutorials that will tell me (a heterosexual) what drugs to take?  
How does the drug know one’s sexual orientation?

While we’re on that topic, a related question: What happens if a guy takes a Midol?

His migraine goes away.

Seriously, I used to know a guy who swore Midol was pretty much a miracle for his migraines.

**Spidey** the tutorial will point out the non-_faaaaaaaa_-bu- **lous!** drugs. Those are the drugs you take. 😛

Take a Midol and report back to us.

It works very well the first time, but then your girl friend begins demanding money.

Do you know this from experience???  
Can you let us know the results? Does it stop at the liver & ask directions? 😕

Some of the jocks in high school and college used to swear by it for an OTC muscle relaxer / pain reliever.

**missred** - medium old cheddar cheese. In a hotdog bun.Yes, I’m weird.

Speaking of weird, there was a weird instrument at the concert I went to. It’s called an ondes Martenot and it’s an electronic instrument with a swoopy sound. It’s so bizarre and amazing. 🙂 I was sitting right near it too. Cool stuff.
