In which being female sometimes sucks.

So it’s that time again. I feel like a balloon, and I keep having mild panic symptoms. Any minute now the faucet should open and I’ll be bleeding like a stuck pig.

Walking to and from work for the next couple of days should prove to be interesting.

Since I live a block from Planned Parenthood and I haven’t had a pap in three years, I’ll be making an appointment there for the week after next to let someone dig around in my innards. Then I can have a long conversation with a professional about how much my period sucks. Who knows, maybe they can offer me some relief – wouldn’t that be awesome?

In other news, I’ve pretty much finished training at my new job and am spending the afternoon listening in on another tech’s calls. It’s all standard stuff, mostly dial-up support but some line-sharing DSL and wireless to keep it interesting. I think I’m gonna like it here!

Yes, this is exactly the kind of riveting content that brings you back to the ‘box time and time again, eh?

    I know of nothing that helps with the symptoms, but if you haven’t heard of it, check out the Diva Cup. (www.divacup.com) It’s quite liberating to never have to worry about carrying extra products with you.

    It’s riveting to ME. But you know what kind of sad, pitiful life I have.

    I hope you find relief for your innards problem. I feel for you whenever you post about the curse. It is aptly named.

    I’m happy that your job is going well. I remember posting a few months back about things turning around for you and you rebuffed me. Ha. Now I’m getting the last laugh.

    Your content brings me back. Every. Time.

    About the curse and Planned Parenthood… They should be able to fix you up with a birth control pill of some sort that would lessen your symptoms, or at least the frequency of your ahem, curse

    Just a guess on my part, because as you know, I don’t have a hoo-hah or all of the symptoms that go along with one of THOSE.

    Sigh… it does suck to have to deal with the hoo-hah and ensuing issues. My physical is in two weeks, whereupon I’ll probably get to experience the snip and the smash in one day. And then the dentist the week after… not sure which one I’m dreading more.

    Anyway, I sincerely hope you are not prolapsing, and I am sorry about the Jeep. Long live the Jeep!
