No Longer Drugged, Now Just Appalled

I refused to take any more of that damn Minocycline after Friday morning. I have never had such a bad reaction to an antibiotic. I almost didn't make it through Friday night at my graveyard security shift. In fact, I didn't make it. I had to leave at 4am or I was going to DIE. I still can't believe I took myself out there in the first place. We were outside in a cold, dark park with nothing to look at but buildings, cars, port a cans, and the occasional feral cat. Tito J. had to keep me awake and amused, at least until my phone died at 2:30 am. My partner was ignoring me and brought along his laptop and portable DVD player to watch terrible movies like Maverick and The Spy Who Loved Me. I texted my Sgt. that this was the worst assignment in the entire world and to remind me to never ever volunteer for it again. Even if I hadn't been weak, dizzy, tired, cold and miserable, it still would've been one of the most excruciating nights of my life!

By Saturday afternoon I started to regain a little of my appetite. S brought me one of my favorite lunches and a brownie to boot, and I choked down the food but I still couldn't tolerate the idea of a brownie. That is sad. Everyone who knows me, when you don't see me eating, know that something is terribly, terribly wrong. Even in my worst illnesses such as colds, flus, sinus infections, the vapors, etc., I always have an appetite! In the past I've only lost my appetite for the most horrible, hardcore, painful things like tonsillectomy recovery and nightmarish breakups.

Ok, so why am I appalled today? Well, although I wanted to call in sick to work today so I could recover from last week, I also wanted to go in to work as we interviewed a new candidate for the entry-level librarian position. I wanted to grill him and have my say, you know? I shouldn't have wasted my time. This guy didn't even have an MLS. You know, Master degree of Library Science. The one that all the best (ha) professional librarians are required to have. The one that this position certainly required, we thought! That was a new low for Administration. I can't imagine what those crackheads are thinking. What a bunch of lowlife fuckheads.
