I think I forgot to mention this

I don't know if I ever said something about this, but for pretty much the entire year I have been fighting with this really weird skin rash on my arms, hands, shoulders and a couple of spots on my legs (around my knees). This damn stuff got so bad that I went to a Doc and thought it was some regular contact dermatitis. Well the steroid he gave me helped for a couple of days until the fucking rash came back with a vengeance. Ok, I decided to finish out a tube of the prescription and see how it went. That was on my birthday. A couple of weeks later I went to the damn ER because this stuff was so painful and raw that the slightest breeze made it worse. That Doc sent me to a Dermatologist, who then told me that it is a fungus..... Tinea. Which is in the same family as athlete's foot and ringworm.  Anyway, did everything he told me to do and took every prescription he gave me, and the stuff went away for the summer. YAY!

Then, during my last contract (the liar one) the god damn rash comes back so I go and sterilize every inch of my apartment. Didn't help, ended up back at the Derm, who gave me another ointment/steroid with the plan of making the "tinea explode". Oh I should mention that he brought a couple of little med students in to see it and to show that ring worm is not always small little circles. Great, now I'm a learning aide. They also do a biopsy to see if the damn fungus is in my pores.

I do a follow up appointment two weeks later to see the results. Well, the rash is still the same, no reaction to the new lotion. I think it made me itchier.

Get the Biopsy results and I have Erythema annulare centrifugum. Something that occurs in 1 in 100,000 people. My derm has now only seen it twice in his 30 yr practice. He took pictures, and he has to do some homework. Great, I'm still a learning aide. Watch me turn up in some text book.

Fuck.

Writing

I've been thinking about writing a of sort of memoir about my life. I have no idea how, when or where to start it. I sometimes sit here while watching something and I get an idea for it.... then I just can't put it through that damn little blinking cursor. Do I plan on submitting it to any publisher? I doubt it. Will anyone else ever read it? Probably not.

Anyway, other than my year of hilarious job issues (being fired, removed or early end to contract and the fact that my god damn insurance fired me as well). Things haven't been all that bad, money is tight though.

I did have a phone interview with Outland Camp on Friday, and I actually do feel that this one went well. I know, I say that every time, but this one I decided to "cheat" at, I had googled some interview tips and how to answer some of those obnoxious questions like "tell me about yourself" and alike. It would be a 20 day out and 10 day in, and not paying as much as I would like and I might end up working through xmas and new years. But, if it's a pay cheque I'll take it. I think they interviewed me for three different roles, General Helper, Housekeeping and admin, all of which I can do no problem. Hell, I'll rotate between all three if they wanted. I'd actually prefer that honestly. So we shall see.

Oh yeah, for some odd reason, I've gotten into listening to the Backstreet Boys. They have this amazing song called "Show'em what you're made of"

Amazing song, really hits home for me for the bullshit I've had to deal with as of late. So have a listen:
