Gah. (Work/pain/work)

Dear 24th Floor,
MY NAME IS NOT CHRISTINE. And Margaret, I'm sure it's your fault people are calling me that. There's an A there. There's not a single E in my first name. There are only TWO Es in the 24 letters of my full name, and they're both in my second name, and you don't know what that is.

I swear, I should start calling her Marge and see how she likes it.

I have an appointment to see Dr. Toyloy later today. That should be fun. Glad I made the appointment, though. I've been achy all day, walking slower than usual, and last night SUCKED because I kept tossing and turning and every time I'd flip sides, I'd put pressure on my lower back and get a nice little stab of pain. Totally sucked. And I fell asleep early because I was tired, because the other night I woke up and stayed up for an hour or two. Guess what I did last night? I watched Frasier, George Lopez, and an hour of South Park before going back to sleep. Need to try to go to sleep as late as possible (without wanting to kill myself in the morning) this time, like, eleven or something.

When I was researching this thing, every page I read said something about a cyst... pilondial or something like that. THAT BETTER NOT BE WHAT THIS IS. I don't think it is, but NO, thanks.

... This woman just called asking for the manager of our advertising department. I said I wasn't sure we had one and told her to hold on so I could transfer her to Yessenia ("special assistant to the commissioner, omg"), and the woman just hung up. 9_9 After this gig, I'm not answering phones for a living even if I'll poof out of existence if I don't.

Sciatica!

You know what? I'm getting too old, too fast. But ANYWAY, that's what Dr. Toyloy says it is--something's irritating the sciatic nerve, apparently only on the left side. I didn't mention it while I was there, but a couple or three weeks ago, I woke up at the house with intense pain in my leg, and I'm pretty sure it was the left leg. I think I'd tried to get out of bed and the pain just SHOT down my leg. No reason at all, just boom. Dr. Toyloy had me lie back on the table and lifted my left leg, and I was fine until she bent it so my knee came to my chest. Oh my GOD. You wanna talk pain? XD;; It still hurts a little bit.

As for the tailbone thing, I used a heating pad (her instructions), and just got into bed to do some leg stretches, and I don't have the same kind of pain in my lower back now. It's still there, but it's not so bad now. I can actually stay on my back. Dad's not sure it's sciatica because he's heard the pain is supposed to go through your kneecap, but... eh. Kinda hoping it is sciatica and he's wrong. I can deal with this. I can't deal with that cyst thing. ^^;; So, I have to use the pad, take anti-inflammatories when I feel I need them, and keep stretching after using the heating pad.

Boss told me before I left that he might go to Albany tomorrow. (Exact words: "I may be going to Albany tomorrow. I'm not sure, but I may be.") Dona's convinced he will NOT go to Albany because he didn't commit to it. She said if he was going to Albany, he'd KNOW he was going to Albany. The thing is with Kwesi, he won't outright tell you things. Really hoping she's wrong... although Friday would be the ideal day for him to take off, winkwinknudgenduge.

Also, YES, SOMEONE RIPPED THIS SOUNDTRACK. No real track titles, but I don't care, I love this song.

EDIT: Ha, there are four tracks of this song. Well, pretty much. I just combined them into one giant 9:30-minute file. (I love you, Audacity.)
