The Crazed Spruce February 16, 2015 Share February 16, 2015 I had a bit of a health scare this morning. Last evening, I woke up with a pain in my chest. My pulse was still strong, and my arms weren't numb or tingly, so I took it as a muscle cramp and went on to work. It even seemed to be getting better after a while, but after a few hours, it came back with a vengeance. I suffered through it during my shift at work, but I stopped off at the emergency room on the way home to get it checked. (BTW, if you want to be seen in the emergency room immediately, complain about chest pains. I swear, I was in a bed surrounded by nurses and wired up to an EKG in less than a minute.) Well, after running every test they could find (EKG, blood work, X-rays, the whole shebang), they found... nothing. It's not my heart, it's not a broken rib, it's not an embolism, it's nothing they could find. It's likely a pulled muscle, or maybe gas. The doctor suggested I take some ibuprofen, but prescribed some industrial-strength Pepto-Bismol just to be safe.

Also, it took several calls for me to get somebody to retrieve me, because the address provided by the temp agency was a loading dock. I got cut loose at 3, though, so that was good. Also good: my late night schedule from Comedy Central is in repeats this week, which means less stress on my DVR (though I'll have to record the Roast of Justin Bieber tonight). The job itself isn't too hard, though I do tend to be a little messy about it.

I walked in and found a seat at the bar, ordered a drink and something to nibble on, then the guy sitting next to me told me that he was really good at trivia and he'd help me if I needed it.
