Home, James
So Nailz is typing this for me because I am sick and don't want to touch the keyboard. Nailz took me to the doctor because I was feeling like I was at Death's door. I got up this morning and thought "hmmm, I think I'm sick," but went to work anyway. I thought I'd make it through the day and then just call in sick tomorrow. I arrived at work at 7:00 am and by 10:00 am I knew that I didn't have a snowflake's chance in hell of making it to noon.
I am very disappointed, because I thought I had health insurance. But it turns out that it ended November 8th. This means that I am going to have to pay for not working today. Also that I will not get paid for the next three days, since I was supposed to work this weekend and was counting on those funds.
(Aside nailz: Clare is saying she feels like Mozart in the movie Amadeus, when he is too sick to write his music and thus dictates it to a fellow composer.) This is all to say that Clare will not be going out to eat, will definitely not be going to Barnes & Noble OR Target, or anywhere for that matter that is not to and from work. I had, this morning, $74 to my name. It seems I will have negative money to my name soon, and I would like to say that I paid an
asshole to not diagnose me. I have "a viral infection". In other words, there is nothing he can fucking do. AND, to make things worse, he was resistant to the idea that I had had severe sinus congestion for the past month and did not want to give me any medication. End Rant.

In other news, Nailz deserves anything she wants for her birthday. She has been a great roommate for the past three days, not to say that she isn't always a good roommate, but especially in the past three days. Please see recommended gifts at her
website. There is no other news other than that I have discovered "voice chat" and bought a nifty headset, with which I talk to my "internet" friends. Funny story: I initially plugged in the headset to the correct ports. But the microphone wasn't working. But for the next hour I continued to plug the microphone into any available port that it would fit in. I was so upset that I dug out my owner's manual for my computer to make sure that I was plugging it in to the right port and that there wasn't some magical port that I didn't know about. I even tried plugging it into my subwoofer. No luck. I tried livechat support on Alienware.com, but they close at 7PM Eastern Standard time. It was 7:04 Eastern Standard time. I was about to tall technical support, when it occured to me that maybe I had the volume turned down. I pulled up my master volume controls, turns out that the microphone was on mute (nailz snickers).
