Sick

My chest infection is coming back, just after I'd thought I'd gotten over it too :( Unfortunately, it's viral so antibiotics won't help. Last year, I had a similar infection and it took almost 3 months for me to get over it fully. Of course I can't work, as I have a nasty cough and they don't want it going around the wards even more than it is.

There's a really good comic called Scandinavia and the World, which I started following a few weeks ago. I think it's worth checking out at least :)

Reddit

Someone from Reddit jokey suggested I sell sex to make money, my first reaction was so long as I never had to touch them, let alone have sex with them. Meaning I'd have to what become a Dom and whip them? I'm finding the image of me marching around in black leather with various types of whips, with clients chained up in a dungeon very amusing. No I'm not going to do it of course, if nothing else I don't have the imagination for it as well as other more obvious reasons :)

Of course, there are "stiff" jokes - making extra money -stiff jokes - about become a male prostitute. But that would be par for the course :)

Intro

I currently work in a public hospital as a HCA temp, meaning I can work when I'm well enough and take time off when I'm sick or when I'm doing something else. It's well enough paid that if I was able to work at least 4-5 8 hour shifts there each and every week I'd be solidly in the middle income wise, (unfortunately I don't work as much as I'd like :( ).

Job wise it can be really easy and really bad, as half time I'm looking after psych or dementia patients one on one. (The psych patients tend to be people who have just attempted suicide or have come in other medical reasons and have to have at least one person with them 24/7. A lot of dementia patients tend to be really good/easy, as my main job to make sure they don't wander off and get lost :)

I'm currently reading a book a friend recommended, and as soon as I spotted it in the library I jumped on it. It's Drood by Dan Simmons ans it is really good, the sole problem I've been having with it is it's very long at well over 700 pages, very dense and it's taking me longer than I'm used to to read, as I'm actually haveing to sit there and it proberly rather than rush through like I do with a lot of books. It's a fictional account of Charles Dicken's life after he is in a fatal train crash, (he was in the only first class craggage that didn't go over the bridge in the crass), as told by one of closest friends and involves the main character in the book he started to write before he died a few years later, called Edwin Drood. It's something of a real life story, crossed with a horror and what if story.
