AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Being a legal adult doesn't mean shit to them, and I don't have the cheddar for either a doctor's visit or the medicine itself because I have no job.

My only respite is a hot water bottle across my abdomen (which often doesn't really help that much).

Now that doesn't make sense...what did your mother do when she had her special week?

I guess she just used the hot water bottle trick. She told me that her periods were relatively light. Guess I just got unlucky.

She stopped menstruating before I even hit puberty, so there was never really a time when we could both 'share the pain'.

Most of my female friends have the same opinion on their time of the month as whoever said that to you. We just don't pay mind to it.

In fact, the worse reactions I have witnessed have been on the internet where it's compared to being bitten in half, having a grenade go off in your pelvis, etc.

PS Also, I'm not saying that my 5 or 6 female friends/aquantences equate to 99% of the female population.

That shit fucking hurts, and it basically does feel like being stabbed, but worse.
So do a lady a favor when they it's really shitty and believe them please

Some have it worse than others. Mine's not that bad, thankfully, it just used to be super irregular.

Cori, a lot of insurance covers birth control, if you wanna talk to your parents more about it. Mine does, I don't pay anything for it out-of-pocket.

I don't think birth control is that expensive either, at least it isn't over here. I think the generic brand is like $12.00 for 4 months worth. $3.00 isn't much to pay for a week's worth of pain relief.

So this happens a lot at work and it never ceases to piss me off. We have a lot of different customers but its usually the older folks that do this, they'll walk up and ask if we have some usually obscure sort of meat or cheese. I'll tell them no and they usually respond with something about how we used to have it and whatnot, and I'll inform them if so it has to have been a while back as I have been there over a year and have never seen it.
Without fail they will always tell me 'Yes you have!' after I tell them no we don't carry it or never have during the time I have been there.
Yes please continue to tell me what I do and don't have in stock, what do I know I only work with the daisies stuff.

I don't even know why it makes me mad.

I don't know why but I started thinking of the star wars prequels earlier today and it made me irrationally mad. I mean I like the originals but they weren't ever a big part of my life or anything. I think it's just because Episode II is legitimately one of the worst things I've ever seen.

I told my dad I was planning on quitting and he flat out refused to let me entertain the thought
Excuse you it's my fucking job

You might want to at least wait until you have another job lined up.

Also future employers frown on past experience including quitting.

Especially if it's been less than a week.

You look flaky or inflexible/irresponsible.

Summer is here in the form of 100 degrees today, projected of 105 tomorrow, and clearing 110 for the weekend into Monday.

Look slike the same thing here

Summer why'd you get so hot so fast.

I guess summer has

The hots for us.

I get that. The thing is though, he's not saying those things, he's flat out refusing to let me quit.

Because you've only been at it for a few days. Very few people like their job, you're going to have to get used to that.
