Silk, Purple, Chocolate & Lavender

28th January, 2009. 6:34 pm. Health issues

I'm posting this here because people have been asking and I dont want to type it 50 times over.

I've had problems with my throat for over two years now, normally it's just a slight scratch. A month ago there was a heavier outbreak together with me feeling like I might drop dead from exhaustion every minute. Seriously.

After being on antibiotics for last week and suffering like a dog, it got to a point where I woke up at night not being able to breathe, so my doc sent me to a specialist. Long story short, I'm allergic to dust mites and the throat problem is full-blown asthma. It doesnt cause me to turn blue and suffocate, but I immediately got an inhalator with cortisone and heavy allergy meds. Now for somebody who gets sick from anything heavier than aspirin, the side effects are almost worse than the sickness, but at least I can breathe again.

The next step will be making the bedroom allergy-proof, just wait, I'll turn into a perfect housekeeper. Also I'll have to think about getting somebody to adopt my babies since they do cause some dirt and there's also a bit of hayfever involved in the mess.

Just in case you were wondering. Comments disabled on purpose.

Current mood: exhausted.

Your home is a

Philanthropic Gamer's Manor

Your kitchen is stocked with chips, dips, and assorted caffeinated beverages. There's a pantry with emergency backup caffeinated beverages. You also have some breakfast cereals in there, but you haven't had breakfast since last Spring. Your master bedroom has blankets printed with images of Mario and Link. Your study includes unread copies of various gamer magazines, each purchased for the free demo CDs. One of your garages holds your collection of ferraris, and is measured in acreage.

Your home also includes a guest wing and private quarters for your servants. Your guests enjoy your collection of every console and associated game ever made. Except the Intellivision -- those controllers drive them NUTS. Outside is your hedge maze and gardens, meticulously tended by a team of world-class botanists.

Below is a snippet of the blueprints:

1st September, 2007. 9:14 am. Nothing new.

I'm still alive.

Less than two weeks now and I can go back home for 10 days. Afterwards, I have to be back in Slovakia until the second half of October. There's not much to report, I work 50 hours a week and sleep the rest of the time. Today I finally got the company car again for the weekend, so I wanted to go shopping, but at 7 in the morning it occured to me, that this might be a bit difficult on a national holiday. Even the cafés are closed, so I'm sitting in the office hanging online.

There will be a little rock festival today, from lunch time until after midnight, and we got VIP tickets from a business partner. Given that this is the Slovak pampa, it might not be worth standing around there, but there's a good chance to get free alcohol.

Current mood: celebrate-y.

13th July, 2007. 9:25 pm. MEEEPWAAAHGAHGAHGAHWHEEEEE

*breathe*
Sooo the company I'm temporarily working for has some subsidiaries in all places all over the world, and one of them in a town called Istebné in Slovakia. Said subsidiary has some troubles with the accountancy department, so on Thursday at 10 am my boss calls me and asks if I'd be prepared to go there for two months and help them out. He has to know RIGHT NOW so they can book me a flight and hotel ... for next Tuesday!!!

Long story short, several borderline breakdowns later, I'm packing my stuff and organizing life for the next two months because I'll be staying at a nice hotel room, spending my free time with people I don't understand and basically working my ass off!

This is a unique chance since I first was supposed to stay at the mother company in Vaduz only for three months. I'll get paid 1/4 more per hour, travelling time is considered work time and will be paid, and per month one journey home is paid too.

At the same time I got the definite OK for yet another job in the same company, doing tax administration for a coworker who goes on maternity leave for only half a year. Today was the company barbecue too, I'm still a bit drunk, deadly tired, and absolutely excited. Does anybody remember my last Friday 13th? We need one every month!

Current mood: zooooom!.

28th June, 2007. 8:27 pm. I got dumped.

I have - or used to have - a best friend whom I literally met in the sandbox. We did different things all our lives but always stuck together. The last few months she started snarling at me for no appearant reason, "forgetting" to tell me stuff, doing things we wanted to do together with somebody else, etc. Today I asked her if we'd finally go to the hairdresser, and "oh but I made an appointment with somebody else, and honestly, I don't think they can treat three people at the same time."
Even more funny: the other person is one of my group of friends I introduced her to, she was the kind of girl who never went out and knew nobody, now she does more with my other friends than any of them with me, and more and more often they don't even bother calling me. Want some advice? Keep your friends apart from each other.

Current mood: lonely.

Your Score: Smart Paladin


59% Combativeness, 16% Sneakiness, 67% Intellect, 55% Spirituality




Valorous! Noble! Or possibly just a self-righteous jerk (but with the brains to keep you alive!)... You are a Smart Paladin!


Paladins are holy warriors. They are valorous defenders of the light. Unfortunately, most of them are so ardent in their defense they tend to meet sticky ends faster than you can say "rampaging red dragon." Many people look up to Paladins, while others just consider them stuck up, overbearing, or self-righteous.


Fortunately for you, unlike most Paladins, you're pretty smart. Which means that you're more likely to fall into the "admired" category, rather than the "obnoxious" or "dead" categories.


Much like the crusades, you manage to combine violence and religion, though unlike the crusades, you add a healthy does of intelligence. You may be a staunch defender of the faith, a valorous champion of the weak, or the stuff that jihads are made of. Which ever one you are, just be happy that you�ve got the smarts to back it up and make it work.
