Everything I Know...

OK, here's the back story...
Back story #1
When I was traveling a few years ago, I left my boyfriend of 8 months home in Australia. We weren't going to breakup - we were still madly in love (still are for those of you playing at home), so we were keeping in touch via email and phone calls when we could manage it. During these emails/phone calls, he'd tell me what he was up to in the preceding days and who he'd been hanging out with. A couple of times, he mentioned hanging out with a younger girl who we had met through a friend of ours. She was nice and I had no troubles with them hanging out, even when my boyfriend told me that he suspected she had a bit of a crush on him. She ended up changing universities and we stopped seeing her around the place.

Back story #2
My desk at work it about 5 metres from another guys desk whose girlfriend works in the same company, but on the next floor down. She is constantly visiting him and they are ALL OVER each other ALL the time. I've actually spoken to him while she was standing there, so she knows who I am...

Fast forward to last weekend. We were at our local nightclub standing there when the young girl in back story #1 approached. She started talking to my boyfriend and then almost as an afterthought she said hello to me: "Oh! Hi... sorry, I forget your name!" I smiled at her through gritted teeth and turned to say hello to the two of her friends that were lurking around us. I recognised one of them as the girl in back story #2. "Oh!" I said, "I work with you!" She just looked at me and said, "Oh? I don't know who you are." She said it EXACTLY like that, like she was being a bitch on purpose. I just shrugged my shoulders and said "I see you making out with your boyfriend aaallll the time." Now, she got a little bit embarrassed at this and the three of them left. My boyfriend turned to me and laughed, I just shook my head.

Then today at work, I see the girl and smile at her. She looks at me, makes eye contact and keeps walking past, no glimmer of recognition.

Now, the reason I'm even bothering to let this bother me, and the only reason I'm telling this story, is the fact that I feel like something fishy is happening in the background. Like girl #1 has told girl #2 something about me or my boyfriend or something about us both or something about them both... maybe I'm just paranoid...

Oh yes, I have had a few rough days.

It all started on Friday while I was on my morning tea break. I was feeling more than a little queasy, and popped a few Eclipse Breath Mints to quell the nausea so that I could go and present at a staff meeting. Now I was presenting with a group and halfway through I had to excuse myself and sit off to the side. This was ok, it wasn't my turn to present and I'd just stand back up when it was, right? Wrong. Just as I was preparing myself to stand up, I knew things weren't ok. So I booked it out of that meeting room and up the hall to the bathrooms, which might I add are security coded so you have to punch in a combination before you can get in. As fast as I was running was just as fast as I was realising that I didn't know the code, but, oh thank you god as I got there a girl was coming out. I didn't even get a chance to apologize to her for shoving her out of my way as I made it to the toilet and proceeded in throwing up each and every green Eclipse Mint that I had consumed that morning.

So I got to leave work early, after a trip to the doctor whose first question was "Are you pregnent?" "No, " and surprisingly whose second question was "Then why are you throwing up?" "Uuummmm, that's why I'm here...". Just love doctors who don't think it's their job to diagnose. So he had no clue and prescribed my anti nausea tablets and sent me home.

Fast forward through the weekend which was spent in a haze of headaches, nausea, drowsiness and hot and cold sweats. I did manage to get to the beach for a quick swim, hoping to clear my head, but all that I managed to do was get dumped by a humungous freak wave...badly. Didn't help my cause.

Today (Monday) I took off work just because I still feel like ass. So I took my nauseous, headachey self back to the doctor who prescribed me MORE painkillers and told me to stop taking my contraceptive pill. Apparently I'm not having a very good reaction. Apparently.

So I'm on two different types of medication that are also considered sedatives which means wheeeee! I'm totally out of it. So chances are this post doesn't make any sense.

My life has been fairly interesting of late which is part of the reason I haven't posted much at all.

Oh gee, I've got to lie down...

Blue balls - not what you think...

Guy: Did you catch Prison Break last night?

Girl: No, I've never watched it. What's it about?

Guy: About guys breaking outta prison.

Girl: Oh. (pause) Is it like the OC?

Guy: Um, no.
