Sleepless nights and sickness

Last night, I don't know if I got any sleep at all. I remember seeing the clock like, every single hour. I could not get comfortable to save my and just tossed and turned a lot. I went to bed early enough, to the point I could have potentially gotten 10+ hours of sleep, but it fells like I got maybe 3...IF that. I wasn't feeling too good when I went to bed, and have been pretty sick since Saturday. I thought maybe we had some bad Chinese food that night that may have caused it but now I am thinking I might have a bad case of the flue, since it's not going away or clearing up at all. Sucks, but at least there are only 2 more days until the weekend, where I may be doing some overtime anyways. I need the hours and the overtime will help immensely, both in paying current bills, and in saving up for another trip.

Seriously though, I have felt like death warmed over. Yesterday I was so cold, despite wearing socks, slippers, sweats, a shirt, AND a sweater. I should prob go to a doctor soon if this doesn't improve. I do feel SLIGHTLY better today so hopefully that's a good sign. I don't want a certain someone to worry, since he's told me to go to a doctor already. I promise to get better, sweetie. Just focus on your studies and exams, kay? :)

In other news, I got to see Rodrigo tonight at work. Man I missed that guy! I think we had a great laugh over me getting arrested at the border. He read my blog earlier and he jokes about me staying in "the crowbar hotel" even though I never actually went to jail. Good laughs though, good laughs. I think we sometimes swear too much at work when no one else is around, but it's good to just kick back and have some fun like that. Just chill, yanno? Tomorrow is a Saigon by Night, night. It's where we always order Chinese food from. It's almost become tradition or something. A weekly ritual or whatever. He introduced us at the center there to the greatness that is Saigon and we all love it! At least anyone who's tried their food.

I miss a lot of people who worked at the call center before I went on vacation. There are so many new faces, and don't get me wrong, they're nice people...but I still miss seeing the familiar folks. So many people have left... Rod is down to part time, Vanja quit, Janice quit, Desmond quit, Daniel quit... like, who is left? I seriously need to ask for my damn raise, esp since I am the 3rd most senior person who's still there (if you don't count Paige, who is now also very casual part time). And I am STILL waiting for my benefits. It's been two damn months!! It should NOT take that long! What the heck happens should I need them before they give me my damned card?!

Bah... sometimes I get so frustrated with that place....

Daniel quit??? Wow, Crazy.

I forgot to tell you that I ran into "the Kellys" at the university. They were interviewing COOP students. Kelly asked me if they could "retain [my] services". Dude, I quit. You guys asked me like three times to stay and I said no each time. Why did they think the answer would be any different this time?

Hope you get feeling better.

They're desperate to keep people already trained as they're hiring too many new people and wasting time training. Should work to my advantage when I ask for my much deserved raise.
