Becoming Clearer

I am so hook on Dragon Wars its pathetic.

I just took a nap with the CPAP machine attached. Did a nasal rinse jsut b4 then. Woke up 60 minutes later - totally clogged up. Could be the CPAP filter, tubing and/or facebook? ORdered replacements. My insurance would have paid for this a long time ago. They have actually called 4 times over the last 8 months asking if anything needed to be replaced. I would still have to pay my percentage (I think it is 10%). I have washed it about 5 times - but I am supposed to do that every week. Silly me.

I am back in a state where I have to remember to eat. I don't have to force it down. I did wake up hungry, and the oatmeal tasted real good. But fruit tastes dishusting. The clementines I love so much have ust a little sweetness, and are tart with a twinge of bitterness. I am still eating them. I did have toe "remember" at work. My first clue was my lack of concentration, Ate some food and suddenly I was able to think clearer - imagine that.

I got my specific Strike assignement today. I will be processing refunds and money transfers. I have more training to do. The union has voted to strike - it means nothing really. It just means that 88% of the people who showed up to vote were in favor of the strike. That doesn't mean its going to happen - we are still negotiating. In fact, I am surprised that anyone would vote at all that wasn't for the strike. That 12% - probably would be hit too hard by skipping even one 2 week paycheck - and have no backup funds - not even from teh union (such as newly hired telephone operators). IMHO, that fact that 12% went to the trouble to show up is significant - but too small. My gut reaction is that they will walk.

While surfin d net I came accross a band called "The All-American Rejects". They are mediocre, but I can't stop listening to them. They have a video called "Move Along" which I really, really like. I think what I like about it is that they are using EMO musical technique to present a message of hope and support. Lacuna Coil is much better metal. But AAR is infectious.
