Yesterday evening I decide to sit through a 3 hr and 16 min showing of Titanic in 3D. I don’t know if it was all the hype about it being in 3D or just the hype about it being back in theatres, but I wasn’t impressed. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the movie when It came out years ago, but for some reason it was just blah last night. Maybe it’s because I’ve already seen it, or that the 3D aspect to it kind of sucked. I expected it to be like the other 3D movies out, but it wasn’t and I assume that’s because it’s an older film being remade into 3D. Certain scenes which I expected to look different in 3D, didn’t. Oh well.
Maybe I’m just annoyed that I spent $15 on a movie only to find out after that I could have had the ticket for free. That will teach me I guess.

Other then seeing Titanic, things have been pretty boring in my life. My parents are coming over this evening so my dad can hang some photos for me before my grandparents see my place for the first time this weekend. I just wish my shutters were back. They were sent away 2 weeks ago because they were made wrong (What can I say..I’m picky) so it’s back to sheets on the windows for now. Needless to say I’m disappointment they won’t be reinstalled by this weekend. However I do promise that as soon as they are installed I will take photos of all the decorating I’ve been doing.

In other news, my dating life has been non-existence. I tweeted a while ago about having a date with a boy and like usual after the first or second date they lose interest. We talked about hanging out again and made plans but then he apparently got food poisoning and I haven’t heard from him since. I figure if he want’s to hang out he has my number. I’ve initiated things enough. I just don’t understand guys whatsoever.

Happy Thursday! I’m off to work and then I have a free hair cut appointment. It’s at a new salon, so I’m somewhat nervous, but it’s free..and I need a hair cut.

I received the results of my CT Scan yesterday. Technically I picked up the disk of images and read the enclosed report, which I think I’m allowed to do, since it is about my health.

Now I’m not 100% sure on what everything means because they used large medical terminology however I am sure that I have a cyst and a polyp on my vocal cord, so it’s somewhat worse then originally thought. That’s really all I could make out, other then how large each thing is and that there is no cancer. That’s a plus at least.

April 19th I go back to Toronto to have to explained in simpler terms, so I guess I just sit tight till then.

Today I had my CT Scan for my throat. On Monday I should get the CD of images and on April 19th I get to make the trip back to Toronto to have the results explained to me. Basically I will find out if the cyst is attached to my left vocal cord or if it’s just in front of it, thus determining the severity of surgery. Either way, the wait is going to suck.

In other news my week has been pretty busy. My position has been changed in regards to the part time job, however the hours are worse. I was scheduled to work till 10pm last Thursday and they asked me to stay till 11:30pm, but since I’m responsible for the updating of another site right now I had to tell them no. Tomorrow I’m scheduled till 11:30pm. There was no getting out of that time since the change in position requires me to work that late. It shouldn’t be too bad granted I’m only a few days a week. I need the money and it’s a super easy job, so I’ll wait it out I guess. No idea what will happen this summer when I’m off due to the surgery.

At least I have one thing to look forward to tomorrow evening. I get to see my best friends new baby girl this weekend.

This past week has been utter hell for me.

I’ve been working 3 jobs (school, part time job and helping out with a coupon site) which means I wake up early and stay up late. Had I have known that this would be my life a few weeks ago I would never have signed up for any of this.
The school job is great, the coupon site job is fine, but the part time job is what’s stressing me out.

I applied and was hired under the assumption that I would have a job in a different position, however I am a cashier. Thursday was my first shift on the floor and I was stressing out about it prior to the shift. I honestly didn’t think that they would put me on the floor because I had not received any training. Stupid me for thinking that I would work on a dummy cashier and learn how to do a bunch of things before being placed on the floor with actual customers.

During my time on the floor I quickly had to learn how to work the cash, scan items, bag the items and deal with price matching, coupons and PLU codes. Needless to say I was very overwhelmed. On the drive home I called my mom and she could hear the frustration in my voice.

I’ve also been sick since March break and my throat issue (which I will get into) has been getting worse, so now combined with the stress from the part time job and working 60+ hrs a week I’m left wondering what to do.

So a little bit about my throat issue, since I don’t think I’ve explained anything.

I have a a cyst on my left vocal cord. Technically I have no idea if it’s attached to the left vocal cord or just in front of it. I also have no idea how large it is. My CT scan scheduled for next Thursday will hopefully shed some light on that. But it’s affecting my voice and sometimes my breathing. In the beginning I just had a hoarse voice, but now it’s turned into an ongoing issue of Laryngitis mixed in with a pretty nasty cough. Basically till I have surgery to remove the cyst I’m under limited talking orders from my doctor. Once I’m done my full time job I’m suppose to be on a no talking ban.

As you can see from the image, that’s not a normal left vocal cord. The mouse arrow is pointing directly at the cyst. The one on the right is normal. Ignore my spit and saliva please. lol

So this no talking ban would have all been fine and dandy except cashiers are required to talk so by the end of my shift I was in so much pain and could barely whisper that I started to wonder just how much is this part time job worth to me.

My surgery won’t be schedule till July, since the school job lays me off during the summer, so from now till then I have the potential to make quite a bit of extra cash, but I’m really worried that I’m going to do more harm to my vocal cord.

Right now, my thinking is to quit the part time job that I just started. I honestly was not aware that there would be this much added stress not to mention the over use of my voice. It’s really not worth the extra money.

So there you have it. Reason’s as to why I’ve been MIA, and what I’ve been dealing with when I refer to my throat issue.
