So I got a cold now. Great. It's not a particularly strong one but it's damn annoying. I was feeling better earlier but now my sinuses ache and my nose doesn't really work. I don't know how I'm supposed to sleep tonight.

I hate taking cold medication or ny-quil. The stuff always make my stomach feel weird and making me light headed. I get a brain fog and stupor from the stuff. 

 But I went to work tonight since I feeling better...

One situation I need to talk about. In my life of social anxiety, every now and then you come across these type of people who will figure you for being deficient and prodding you for an explanation. Their tone is almost condescending, but you don't know whether they are joking or being serious. But always turn up when I'm in a relatively good mood and their prodding just annoys the hell out of me and puts me into a bad mood. No, I'm not going into full discourse to explain my problems with a complete stranger. and an idiot at that.

So anyway, this guy has this "wonderful" idea of making paper frames for a poem print out. No, he thinks 2.50 for a cheap frame is way too freaking expensive so he wants to cut costs my making a crap paper one. Okay fine, it's his life, but he wants me... ME to help him cut the poster board so he can assemble it himself. It's complete waste of my time at the end of the day, but I decide to go ahead and cut it for him. Then he won't shut up and make up his mind about what size and color he wants. Finally after half an hour we agree to cut some 2" strips of gold poster board for his "frame" and some 8 1/2 by 11 pieces for his backing. Okay, it's take me about half an hour but he apparently thought I could do it in five minutes... sigh. Then he keeps interrupting me while I'm trying to start and entering my work shop... but I got him to go away and it did take me half an hour to cut all his poster board. Good, done, he can take it to checkout and buy it and leave. I should be charging him an arm and a leg for my labor but I don't... because I don't know what to charge for poster board cutting and I just want him to leave. Of course he then decides that the strips are too big and I should halve them.

For free, this is the limit of my patience. I have only 20 minutes left before store closing and I still have to do my closing duties. I would have to individually measure and cut each of those 30 or so strips because they are now too small for me to mass cut in the mat cutter. It would take me another half hour at least. So I just tell him that I can't do it now since I don't the time. I suggest he get a yardstick and a sharp blade and just cut it clean down the middle. Very simple and he has the time. Not me. Not for free. He left then. Thank God.

 See it's now wonder my sinuses hurt now. Then I had to rush through my closing duties... half of which didn't get done since it normally takes me an hour and half or more. And rushing makes me tired and stuffy and I feel crappy again.

So I'm suppose to back in at 8am as usual... With this damn cold I'll see how it goes. I'm barely getting a good nights rest between these shifts as is. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep at all tonight. ... I don't think I can use my ambien with nyquil or I'll really be put out. Oh yeah, these cold medicines make me fart a lot too. That annoys me even more.

I don't know. Maybe I'll go in late tomorrow. See what I feel like in the morning.
