Fast Over, Internet Down, and the end game

First Off Sorry it's been so Long since my last post, those of you who were following my fast, all 0 of you, I did complete it. My first meal was a big greasy Andy's Burger in Burgaw, it was glorious. Vacation went downhill fast. Vacation is mostly meant to be fun, not this one, and this is why.

Anne left on Sunday, which left me for the whole day to do nothing, So I went and hung out with my Parents, and grandfather (pawpaw). So far so good. The next day I worked, it was a decent night also pleasant. I'm Still fasting at this point. I fast pretty much through this whole story. I get off work come home pack and catch about 5 hours of sleep, hit the shower and hit the road, I listened to 5 Dylan albums while eating sunflower seeds and drinking water, prob the best part of the trip, because Sadly enough I like being alone and being able to listen to music as loudly as I want and being able to throw down like O town when I feel the need. I danced in my seat all the way through South Boston, To the people I passed they prob thought I was having a seizure. me big fatty fat flailing in my seat to leopard skin pill box hat could not have been attractive.

So on with the Story, I picked up Anne's brother we went to the beach, So far So good, No complaints if there was one it was that someone was now with me. Not that Beaus company was bad, It could have been Anne at this point and I would have felt a little sad. Not that I don't like having her or anyone around I just enjoyed my alone time.

Then we were at the beach, the first few days were great fun, i got to enchanted over and over, which wasn't great, Beau and I played through Splinter Cell Conviction. I got to go swimming with the baby Iz. and Anne and Beau, It was fun, we splashed and played and joked around it was great times. Anne's Parents took great care of us food wise, fixing lunches and dinners of epic proportions, We went to Beaufort and window shopped beau dropped his ice cream in the sea the baby looked like she took a nose dive into a frosty machine when she was done. we looked around goofed off and enjoyed our time together as a family. So wait where does the bad part come in.

Anne woke up on Thursday I think it was feeling a little Ill by the end of the night she was full on sick and laying in the fertile position get away from i hate you and I'm going to Die sick. So this is where it went down Hill, I spent 2 hours in a pharmacy waiting on a pharmacist to look at me, when she finally did she got crappy with me because I demanded that she help me pick out some over the counter stuff instead of just taking Anne to a Doctor. I gave Anne the medicine and I think it at least helped sooth the pain but by no means did it cure the sickness. Then I started to feel a little sick. Yes, Indeed it goes down hill from here. I knowing how I am when i am Sick and Seeing how Sick Anne is make the executive Decision of, We are leaving. Anne is ok with this we pack our stuff and Vacation is cut short.

We get home Anne crawls into bed, Im not down and out yet It's Saturday and my sicky sick time hasn't hit its full stride. So I unpack kind of. Kind of, but not really, i put away perishables and throw some clothes in the wash and kind of straighten up in general. The cats have wrecked the house overall, Anne cleaned up most of the Cat mess even though she was so sick, I have a great wife, On the way home I think her worst part of sick had passed so she was in the aftermath of horrible and I was coming up on it.

The next day I'm feeling a little feverish, but had not found anyone to teach our kids at church so i made the bad decision of I don't want to stick the Primary presidency with our kids so I'll go for the hour I have to teach them and I should be ok. I get there and teach I'm OK for the most part and Then While I was Explaining about how the walls of Jericho came crashing down, I guess my eye was off the ball because I got Ninja kicked in the throat by the sick, sneaky little bastard. Boom Brandon hit full stride everyone is pissing me off, I want to kill everyone or go to sleep sickness, So at this time I realize I'm in a classroom full of kids and need to get out because I have to be Wicked contagious right now and the last thing I want to do is get my whole class sick, So I get one of my more dependable kids to fetch a Primary leader for me, And I am out of there like a fox running from a twelve gage.

On the way home I feel it necessary to call work and let them know I have a fever of 102 and won't be there, I get this.

" I was expecting a call from you today, someone told me you would be calling in sick because you were on Vacation this week, So you better come in I don't care if you have a fever you will be at work tonight." Great, So one of the low lifes I work with. (disclaimer: not everyone I work with is a low life I say its only 40% horrible people, but they ruin the place sometimes and this was one of those times) I'm still mad about this. So At the height of my Sickness my Boss thinks I'm totally faking it and that I was just trying to get off work to go see Fireworks and Drink beer. A) I was really sick and just wanted to go lay in bed and sulk it up and be sick, B) I don't drink Beer. C)Fireworks are pointless. It's never changed in how many years, with all the technology out there Fireworks still look the same. I'm pissed because i have to work, we are not busy and the Manager is the horrible one it's no secret that she sucks and of course, I make no money, because there is no business and I am there for five hours before she realizes hey Brandon is going to the bathroom every ten minutes to wash his face, and do other sick things, maybe i should let him go, the details of this night is a little washy because I was sick and out of it.

Guess What I am Sick they have seen that I am sick, and refuse again to let me off the next day, So i have to work all night long listening to loud music, that normally I enjoy thoroughly, but since I am full out in my stride sick as sick can be plus pissed because the main boss lady thinks I'm faking because some piece of crap loser decided to make a point that they think I would call in, plus it's the fourth of July, I did not enjoy this night. I was pissed, Sick, and drugged to contain the sickness from spreading to the 100 people in the bar, because open mic night is the busiest night of the week, end of subject those who say otherwise need to look at the numbers. I had hit my stride and I am hard to deal with in my stride, So at this point the good manager asks me if I wanted to go home, It was a pride Issue at this point I wanted to prove this dumb piece of Trash who decided that I was a typical employee who calls in because its a holiday and I was on vacation I wanted to show them That I wasn't and That I was going to torture myself and stay because they decided to open their uneducated trash mouth. (I know who it Was) So I told my good Manager No that's ok, I'm staying, Plus Anne had mentioned that we were short on money, but not to stay if I get cut because I am sick and I should be at home and that we will make it somehow. This is how my vacation ended with me working my butt off in the stride of my sickness. Anne and I both went to the doctor the next couple of days and that lead to the doctor calling my boss and telling her I couldn't work the rest of the week. I set at home and did my Sick thing.

I want to put out there at no point during this time was I sicker than Anne, She was way Sicker than I ever was, and she ended up having to work too. She worked Both Tuesday and Wednesday Sick, because employer's in Lexington Can Suck It. They are so used to the Trash that live around here calling in because they drank too much the day before or Just don't feel like getting off there Asses, Or have to make a drug deal that they call in. So when actual good people actually get sick like this incident they are not tolerant at All. This has put a bad taste in my mouth that still hasn't gone away. I can't wait to move. I will say that half of my issue was my own fault and being a stupid guy and letting my pride get in the way, but screw some of the people I work with. I got asked the other day if I was going to miss them, I haven't laughed that hard since the "foul stench of Skeletor" joke on Robot Chicken.
