so the new job involves a lot of cleaning up. sigh. i mean, right now, the synthesis work isn't so bad, but in the future, i've been told that i'll be taking over somebody else's blocks. somebody else who left the company a few months ago, and seemingly left a mess for me to fix. *RAAR*
i'm not looking forward to that. i'm not a very good engineer when i don't start something and finish it myself; i'm not good at taking over somebody else's stuff and fixing it. it's not as simple as like revising another person's essay, as you might be led to believe.
anyways, i haven't had lunch today (basketball once again took over my usual appetite), but i don't feel hungry. maybe it's the ice cream i had at 3. maybe it's (once again) the three soymilk drinks i've had, plus that dr pepper. we'll see how much weight i gain in a few weeks.
i've noticed that a decent number of people put their arms up (behind their heads) when they relax. why is that? why does that relax a person? the reason why i ask is because without that posture, i'd be a constantly ticcing machine. yup. often times, you'll see me in that configuration simply because when i'm in it, i don't tic as much. weird, huh?
the only problem with putting my arms up is 1) i can't type, thus i can't work when i'm like that and 2) i can smell my nasty armpits, especially after a basketball day like today (and without a shower!). i guess you can also add that i look funny, because sometimes i walk around like that.
anyhow, like i said, i can't wait until the weekend. and i sincerely hope that the coming weeks won't feel as long as this (yet unfinished) week has been.
man, i think i'm gonna get fat working here. we just had our monthly ice cream social, and i had about four scoops of the stuff (two each of vanilla and green tea). add to that the free soda, soy milk, and gatorade, and you've got me ingesting countless empty calories!
speaking of which, i'm gonna get a soy milk drink after i type this entry up. thank goodness it's SOY milk, and not regular milk, because i'd be getting the runs if i drank this much! haha
i am in bad shape, body-soreness wise. last night, ting was off at some _sex and the city_ finale party, and alan and i had burritos at los charros and went back and played several stages of gauntlet on his ps2. i was ticcing kind of badly the whole time, but this time, i wasn't ticcing to the right; i was ticcing to the left!
the gist of it is that now BOTH sides of my neck and shoulders hurt like a motherfucker. and i couldn't sleep off the soreness, either. shit. this is bad news, and not only that, it just sucks because that whole region hurts like no other. pain is a life-ruiner, i tell you. down with pain!
my body needs to reset itself somehow. which means i need to not tic for several days in order for the muscles to heal up. how to do that? i haven't a fucking clue. *RAAR* it used to be that i'd take a whole weekend off and just lie down the entire two days, and that would do the trick, but i did that a few months ago during one weekend, and it didn't help. hm.
anyways, i'm looking forward to the weekend. this has been one long week, my first 5 days at my new job. i get to work earlier, i leave later, and i just feel stressed out. i think we're hitting the gilroy garlic festival on saturday, and there's a potential party to go to up in the city that night that we're tentative on.
just... one more day...
