I tried so hard to come up with a title. As they say, honesty is the best policy.

My birthday sucked and that was the reason for that horribly depressing entry last week. For those of you that don’t know, I’ve been fighting some serious bouts of vertigo. I’ve taken some measures to help fight them off and so far I’ve done pretty well. I’m trying to eat an apple a day and have cut out the calcium supplements for now. I’m also thinking of getting a stationary bike so I can get more exercise despite the increasingly cold weather. Also, when i feel a little wobbly, I take a Dramamine. Anyway, I was completely wiped out from all the stress of the situation and just collapsed after work on Monday. The whole thing sort of ruined the day and I was just in a bitchy mood. I must say, though, I owe barneyt quite a bit of thanks. It turns out that he’s a registered nurse and he’s given some ideas about how to handle everything. He also suggested the Dramamine, which has turned out to be a life saver. Thanks man.

Work has been different lately. They are in the process of redoing the entire department so they can install the HEET Plus, a.k.a. the Magnolia without any of the benefits such as a pay raise, and there has been little on display to actually sell. I wouldn’t mind this except one manager had the balls to come up to me and tell me we had to make budget for the day. How can I sell something we don’t have on display or in the store? I wish I could be that delusional. My first delusion? “I don’t work at Best Buy”.

Maria, oh Maria. After she backed out of plans a week and a half ago, plans she made with me (not vice versa), I decided to go silent. I’ve ignored her IM’s and phone calls (though accidentally opened the phone one time and wound up hanging up on her). I like her. I still do really like her, but I can only take so much. I’m no ladies man. I’m not all that good looking. I can have some charm, but I’m usually too busy being an asshole. All that makes it kind of hard to find a girl to be serious with, so should I be throwing this away? I don’t want to, but was there anything to lose anyway? I guess not. Maybe?

Finally, I just want to thank everyone who’s commented on the site recently. Guys like kreuger, murkey, and joe really make it a bit more purposeful. I have Joe’s myspace listed in my blogroll, but would love to add other sites if you comment here often enough. I know kreuger has a site, but I lost the damn link again. Send it on over man and I’ll link it up. Thanks guys and girls.
