raybear | Adventures in Hypoglycemia (Reply)

In an effort to possibly file a brief before going on vacation, my boss gave me some editing work to do while she was on lunch and I was on phones. No problem, except her directions where less clear than usual, supposedly because she was doing it on the train this morning. I finished as best I could, but not until it was nearly 2 pm. I never really ate breakfast and the only food available to me was a Lean Cuisine fettucine microwave meal (have I mentioned that I have no money? this food was available to me for free). I discovered that the reason these are diet type meals is NOT just because the food is loaded with fat substitute chemicals, but also because the portions are remarkably small. So here came the migraine, following right behind my low blood sugar. I managed to find some not-so-tasty beef jerky in my drawer which at least gave me protein, plus I down about 6 glucose tablets. Finally I remember that my vitamin supplements were still in my bag, leftover from vacation, and actually they seem to be helping. I'm still starving, but at least I don't fear fainting on the train.

My head still hurts. I look forward to going home and lying down. Why do I still do this to myself? When will I learn? Damn lazyperson.
