Wondering where the fuck the Wormed CD and t-shirt that I ordered and paid for nearly a month ago are.

This is huh, wow...
So, after two months of being hooked on those damn nasal sprays I'm slowly easing myself off them. Previously, I couldn't sleep without them and was using them daily every 4 hours or so. I'm continuing use in the left nostril and stopping use in the right, so I can still sleep, breathe and taste. Once the right has healed up, I'll stop use completely.
As retarded as it may sounds, you can actually get hooked on these things if you use them for longer than the time period that the bottle tells you (I think it's three days or so). Just don't be a fuckwit like I was.

It's the 12-hour nasal relief stuff (Aussie brand names are Sinex, Drixine) people use to relieve blocked noses. They carry a warning telling you not to exceed a certain number of days. Like the idiot I am, I went past this limit. There's a reason for that; you can get hooked on the 'rebound' effect, which means you continuously use it and your nose is constantly congested. I was at the point where I needed the stuff to breathe. I'm kicking the habit as I said though.Hooked on nasal spray?What sort of nasal spray?
I know how bizarre it sounds, but it's actually extremely common according to my doctor.

That happened to me with Afrin nasal spray. It's like smoking and shitting, you eventually cannot shit without smoking.

You know your doctor is currently regaling all the guests at his dinner party with the story about his freak-o patient who's hooked on nasal spray, right?

Got done with a job interview (at 8:30 a.m. 
). Turned out the guy I was supposed to talk to was busy this morning and the HR chick had tried calling me yesterday to reschedule but I wasn't paying attention to my phone, so she ended up 'interviewing' me herself and said she'd get back in touch to reschedule once the actual interviewer has some time available.
This job would kick ass. I hope I get it.

Good luck Grant! What is the job if that's not too prying a question?
At this moment: planning a vacation and engaging Uneasy_Conscience in a mini shitstorm in the folk metal thread

Thanks. It's a software consultant job, so if I were hired they would be flying me out to various clients of theirs to either help them with software projects or do our own for them. Depending on the experience of the consultant, the job can probably involve anything from simple programming to actually planning the whole project and negotiating the business/financial details of it.
They said the most likely project they would start me off with is a web development thing in New York City, which I would fly out to on Sunday nights and come back to Richmond on Thursdays. I'd probably be really busy, but it still sounds like a kickass job, and it pays like $55-60K + benefits and travel expenses. They've got branches all over the country and a few employees overseas, so if I stick with them I might be able to see a good bit of the world and/or relocate to somewhere nice.

That sounds like a damn awesome job, plus getting to fly around the country would be pretty cool too. Good luck with it!
I just got home from school and a few packages came in for me. Now I have something to do. I won't have to sleep or draw.

Nothing at the moment. Gonna get my green badge tomorrow that will magically transform me into a qualified exams supervisor. Again. It's finals season at highschools throughout The Holy Land.
Basically,the easiest side job imaginable.

Just waking up after hours of playing The Trail of Cthulhu rpg. Great and so much better than Call of Cthulhu game.
