Pain Is A Nuisance

****

Just as I'd anticipated, I was put up in Room 1 at work
today (Pink, right in the front of the store). All I was
able to do was greet people. I couldn't do bra fittings, I
couldn't work the register, I couldn't straighten panty
tables. I couldn't do a damn thing, because everything
required two hands. I was cranky and unhappy the entire 4
hour shift. Not because I had to be there (I didn't, I
could have easily called in sick), but because I was
useless. Even more so than the new girls that don't know a
damn thing. Everyone feels so sorry for me. I've even been
given the whole week off to recuperate. I didn't ask for
it, but I'll take it. It beats being useless and taking up
hours some other poor starving college student could use.
I have no idea what I'll do all week, but I'll attempt to
keep busy.

My arm is throbbing. Pain is a nuisance. Yes, it reminds
me that I'm not dead and maybe it'll make me stronger, but
right now it's mostly irritating me and making my mood
less than cheery. I can't function well with one arm
strapped to my body and I can function little better with
just the splint on. 3 days post-injury and I'm ready to be
healed. There's nothing fun about being injured.

Gen and I got to spend a little girl time together this
morning. That was nice. Starbucks as usual. I have nothing
else to say and I have to take my splint off to type
(which reminds me that my wrist ain't right). So, I'll
close for now. I'm going to go take some much needed pain
meds and pass out. Pain makes you tired. Ciao.
