An Apology of Sorts

Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while might remember entries bitching about what a miserable fuck my previous roommate was.

Well, I take it back. Nick’s a good guy. I’ve only talked to him once or twice since I moved out, but I don’t think that either one of us misses the other terribly.

The entries I wrote were, of course, skewed to make him sound like a jerk. (It’s my blog. If you wanted Nick’s side of the story, you should know better than to get it from me.) The fact is, I ate his food, drank his drinks, and smoked in the basement despite his asthmatic objections. I was, by no means, fun to live with. This is not to say that he was blameless, however.

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I simply should not live with anyone, ever. I thought that living with Pedro would be a blast, but anyone who knows me can attest to just how much bitching I do about him.

I’m sure he does the same.

When my lease expires this year, I’m hoping that I’ll be able to afford to get an apartment by myself. It will be really nice not to have to come home to an apartment that reeks of pot all the time.

My blogiversary (November 30) came and went without my noticing. I’ve been blogging for well over a year now. I’m actually surprised that I’ve been writing for so long.

Ow…

My back hurts a lot tonight.

If you remember a while ago, I had a brief adventure with gravity that involved a ladder. I went to the doctor twice and my back still hurts like hell. It’s been three weeks to the day since I fell, and if anything, my back is even worse now than it was then.

I spent the day moving around twenty cases of mens’ dress shoes. In case you were wondering, yes, it does make a difference what kind of shoes. A case of twelve pairs of mens’ dress shoes can weigh two or three times as much as a case of twelve mens’ athletic shoes. They’re not light. And it probably didn’t help matters that I dropped a case of loafers on my head.

Anyway, my back hurts. A lot. I took some prescription strength naproxen sodium (Aleve) over an hour ago, and it seems to only have dulled the aching slightly. My mattress has a dip in it, so that won’t help things either.

I’m going to talk to my boss tomorrow to see if I can get an appointment with a chiropractor and have Gordman’s pay for it. It’s odd. Somehow I feel like I’m scamming the company, even though what I’m asking for is completely justified.

Hmm. Somehow I thought I’d get a more interesting blog entry out of this. Apparently not. Oh well.

Maybe next time.

And Things Keep Getting Worse

I was about to go buy myself some groceries and cleaning supplies a few minutes ago, but decided I should find out how much money I had to throw around before leaving.

Turns out it’s nothing.

Checking account balance: Five-hundred-something dollars, minus rent and the cable bill, leaves me with forty eight dollars and change. Granted, I spent more money last weekend than I should have… but damn, I just can’t get used to this abject poverty thing.

So I guess grocery shopping waits until next Friday morning, when direct deposit blesses me with meager earnings from my pointless job.

I’m hungry.
