I cancelled my lab work for the second week in row. I'm still trying to shake this cold. The runny nose just seems to be hanging around. I had a bloody nose today at work and it was just lovely. Once I felt my nose start to drip I grabbed a tissue to wipe before it could drip down to my mouth. To my surprise, blood was on the tissue after I wiped. I rushed to the bathroom to clean myself up. Thankfully, the bleeding stopped with little effort on my part.
Today was the first Half-Day Friday at work. It's a new benefit that gives all office employees a half-day on the last Friday of every other month. After work, I tried calling my primary doctor about my nose, but he's on vacation and the receptionist recommended me to an urgent care. I don't feel like dropping money on an urgent care, so I'm just going to take extra care of my nose this weekend by using the expired ointment I have left over from the last time this bloody nose thing happened back in 2013. In 2013, the bloody nose was due to some infection that usually only occurs in infants; however, since I'm taking immune suppressants I might as well be an infant.
I turned in my resume and cover letter and I scheduled my interview for the contracts/risk specialist position on Thursday, March 3rd @ 3pm. 3 is a lucky number right? I mean it's in my lucky number 13, so it must be. I am super motivated to practice my interview skills over the weekend so that I can shine my brightest on Thursday. Although I'm sure I'll have a nightmare over the weekend about getting a freakishly unstoppable bloody nose during the interview. Between practicing my interviewing skills I will be binge watching Fuller House on Netflix.
In other news, my credit card number was stolen yesterday. Thankfully, Chase caught the fraud right away. They caught it at the first fraudulent purchase on the same day the purchase was transacted. Chase is awesome at protecting me. It's not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last. It's a pain to block the card and change my automatic bill payments that go on that card though. I was just thinking the other day that it had been a while since the last time it got stolen.
