I copied this out of an email i wrote to someone, too lazy to type it again. XD

The change is climate is making my body fall apart. this week alone I've goten a scalp infection, infection in my left big toe thats starting to grow into the nail bed, and a head cold, I'm not sure if it't the cold but the inside of my nostrils were so irritated that they started to get swolen and now ther're scabbed over so breathing is a bitch. The doc gave me some salien spray to keep them moist, and they plan to have me swimming antibotics when they get them in. Every little scrape I get here seems to get infected regardless of how much I clean it. The doctor said he probally be seeing alot more of me. I had community service this week as part of my newbie traning, I got to do maintaince which pretty much means I was a janitor. It was actually kind of fun, I got to sweep the walkways in the morning, then i rested till after lunch then did the restrooms which was gross but not hard. The guy incharge of me was awesome. This is actually the first time i've felt like i've actually done something here. Still i kind of feel like i was slacking even though he said i was one of his best workers. Especially thursday and friday when I was sick and exhausted, I feel like I barely moved compared to the first of the week.

I missed my trade panel this week, it's basically a fake job intervew to get accepted into your trade. I thought it was next week. It was an honest mistake and I'm not catching crap for it. It probally was a blessing in a way as seeing i was feeling / looking like hammerd shit the day it was supposed to be. It'll be rescheduled to next week. XD I hope i'm feeling better by then. I dont know if i'll have community service again next week, and if i do dont know what i'll be doing. There was some talk of having me act as a daytime tutor next week instead which would be ok, boring as hell, but ok.

I'm also having some issues with a roommate, he seems to think it's his god given mission to "change us into more mature adults" basically he just wants to have the room his own way and he wont stop bitching about it. He's room captian now because he bitched at my friend untill he gave it up. Even when he wasnt he started making little rules and bitched untill we followed him. For example he wont let me sleep on the floor (the mattresses here destroy my back), because it he dosnt like me sleeping between our beds, something about it feeling like i'm standing over him even though i'm almost a full foot lower than he is. He's tried to put us on a fucking shower schedule and only allow us 15min a shower. And he tried to blackmail me with a incident report he was supposed to give me for forgetting to fold my blanket on a laundry day, Insead he didnt then held it over my head until I did the other roommates chores after I finished mine early. On that note he's forcing me to do the bathroom this week because he dosnt like it that i perfer doing the vanity, he seems to think that it's nesseary to force me out of my comfort zone to "man up". I need to man up? He's the one that bitches like a school girl untill he gets his way. I do the vanity because i'm damn good at it, we have never been hit for a dirty sink or mirror since I started doing it. Regardless of all this crap i'm still doing my best to like him, but he's rapidly approaching my last nerve and thats borderline impossible. We're tying to get the wing manager to move him but he's doing what he can to stay just to spite us. Or at least thats what it feels like. Whats worse he's next inline to become wing president. Although i dont see him holding it very long as he's getting on the nerves of almost everyone even the people that useually agree with him.

Apologies for bitching but it's all i can do atm to keep myself from doing something stupid.

Sounds a lot like my tech school way back when in the air force.

On your day off hit the little fucker. Make sure it's a place with no cameras and clock him one right in the teeth. Continue sleeping on the floor. If your back gets fucked because of his insistence on being a dictator, you threaten him personally with a lawsuit for damages and mental anguish. He'll shut up pronto.

As for all the infections...."when they get the antibiotics in"?! Why on earth do they not have this stuff on hand at all times. The damn climate is not making you ill, it's the filth in that place. Something in the air system I'll bet. You don't get a scalp infection for the sake of it. There has to be some kind of organism that found its way into a cut. Same for you toe. I bet the water is filthy.

I have a Brita water pitcher that I'm not using. Do you want it? I think I have three filters with it too. Each filter lasts about a month or two depending on how much you drink. Please don't be drinking that water. I'm sure it's substandard. Email me if you want it. I'll also send you rubber gloves if you're cleaning the heads with bare hands. God I hope you are using gloves and a mask in there! You should also be using a paper hat on your head when cleaning in there. I think Matt has a shitload of them in his truck. Say the word and they're yours.

Nickname the whiny bitch something girly.... Mary? Sissy Mary? Matilda? and continue to call him that and be relentless about it. Get EVERYONE doing it too. In fact, get everyone on board with the other things too. Turn it around and make him miserable.

If you get to the point of hitting him with dormitory pranks get my attention. I attended 3 years at a boarding school and have a bit of experience with "creative" dorm retribution!

I got my trade panel today, it seems my willingness to help the staff
paid off, They didnt make me recite the 8 things and the 5 other
things i was supposed to know. I just answerd yes and they said
welcome to the group, please send the next person in after you leave.

My roommates and me worked out most of the issues over this week so all's good again.

TK I couldnt thank you enough if you could send the water filter, and some spare sheets if you have them. One thing though it has to have a plastic jug or they'll call it a security threat. XD

OK Vizzy -

Sheets I'm not sure about. What size do you need? I think I have a few fitted sheets but not so sure of the tops. I think the fitted are queen and I am pretty sure I have one or two single bed sheet sets. I have to go down to the basement to sort that out.

The Brita pitcher is plastic. Glad you could use it. It's been in my basement sitting there going to waste. At least you can now use it since I have a filter built into my waterline.

I got my trade panel last week, It's a fake job interview. It seems my volunteering to help the staff and flashing my fiber-optic cert around got the point across, they didnt even ask the the questions they're supposed too. was pretty much just asked, "do you know the 8 thing and the 5 other things." I said yes, they said welcome to the team please send in the next person on your way out.

Btw my replys are going to be even more sparse the internet in the dorms in fucked up so i have to wait till i'm in the mail bulding to browse. I'm writing this from the libary, I'm working mondays and tusedays as a tutor but know one's here so I'm just relaxing. XD

I only have classes today and tuseday. I get off the rest of the week. Then it's only like 3 weeks till christmas break. Which I'm looking forward to XD.
