I hate to bite the title of a tv show, especially one I haven't seen, but as I write this, i lack the energy to be creative. My last 24 hours have been pretty interesting to say the least. Yesterday in class was test day, I had to install Windows 2000 Server, promote it to be a Domain Controller, make it a DHCP server, and an RIS server to install Windows 2000 Professional over the network. Plus do a written test, which was 4 pages long. I had the entire 4 hour class time to do the work, and the teacher lets us work together during the "hands-on" portion of the test as a way of troubleshoooting each other and helping each other out. One of the guys in my class, a person by the name of Daniel was seated near me. Now I'm all about helping people out if they ask questions, but this guy asks the stupidest questions due to the fact he doesn't pay attention to details. It'll say on our test to make our hard drive partition to be 10 GB NTFS, and he'll ask the teacher, "so how big is the hard drive partition supposed to be again?" Those kind of questions drive me up the fuckin wall, and I lose patience with people like that. So during the hands on part, he was asking me questions on how to do the steps, and all the questions had to do with paying attention to what the screen says and using common sense. Finally, I lost it, and I yelled at him that I will not aid him in his stupidity and lack of ability to follow directions cuz it's driving me crazy. He got upset with me, sayin I was supposed to help him during the test, cuz I know what I'm doin and he doesn't. LIKE THAT'S MY FAULT THAT I STUDY AND READ MY NOTES AND PAY FUCKING ATTENTION IN CLASS!!!!!! Alright enough on that subject.

After class I received great news, my sister Kathy had won us 2 free tickets to the Kings-Coyotes game that night at Staples Center. We go to the game, we have a good time, Kings win 4-0, keeping us in 1st place in the Pacific and 4th overall in the NHL pts wise. I can't compain too much, the day ended great, I wish I could say the night would go as well.
1:45 am - 7:45 am
Ladies, not that I didn't before, but those of you who have given birth I have a much GREATER respect for the miracle of life. I feel a pain in my stomach area, towards my left oblique area at 1:42 am, I thought I had to use the bathroom, thinking it was the food I ate last night coming back to haunt me. After using the bathroom, the pain doesn't go away. It gets worse. I try walking it off, but that didn't help. Now it hurts like HELL, I can barely breath, and can't stand upright. I rush to the hospital, and go to the ER with my dad, and once inside, I tell the male RN my symptoms, and at first I thought it was my appendix. Well, I work with computers, and am not a doctor, if I was a doctor, I would've known my appendix is on my right side, with my kidney and colon on my left. The RN believes that I have a Kidney Stone that hasn't passed. I spend the next 5 hours in the hospital, finally getting an IV put in me, a CAT scan to see if it was one, and sure enough, I had a 2mm stone that had yet to pass through me. So they put me on medication and now I am waiting for it to pass. The pain has subsided alot, but as I write this, I'm also on Vicodin, which could explain why the pain went away. Needless to say, I'm not going to school today, and told my teacher as much in a phone call when I left the hospital.
Yes, what a 24 hours it has been for me, I don't know how much if any I'll write this weekend, I'll play it by ear. Have a great weekend everyone, and I'll see ya around sometime.

Rob I've heard how painful Kidney stones can be and I wish you the best! Take the meds and get well! :)
On a side note I am MSCE and A+ certified so if you have any ?'s let me know.
Sweet, thanks for the offer, as I get close to finishing school I do have some questions about both certifications, I'll send you an email regarding my questions. Thank you very much again for the offer.
oh no.... my dad had a kidney stone a couple years ago and from the looks of it they HURT A LOT. i'm so sorry! hang in there! are they going to make you strain your pee now until the stone comes out? :-) my dad had to do that...
OMG! Why has nobody told me of your latest 24 hours? I'm so sorry, Rob! I can't imagine how painful it must be. *HUGS* I love you. Let me know if you need anything.
Did it pass? Vicodin will do that to ya, ever listened to Bill Engvalls vicodin stories lol. Hubs passed one once, so did my brother!
Update: yes the stone passed several hours after the hospital visit. I feel much better now, and don't have the pain anymore. I should've known something was up with my body, cuz for the past week or so i felt a pain in the same area, but thought I was an idiot and ran into something that I didn't remember. I am a klutz, so it wasn't out of the realm of possibility. Thanks for all the warm wishes. I don't think I've heard Bill Engvall's speech on vicodin, i heard his CD "Here's your Sign" and thought it was hilarious. I haven't heard that in years, so if it was on it I don't remember.
Whew! Glad I read your comments -- and glad to hear it passed. From what I've heard those things can be terribly painful. Sorry you had to deal with one. Hope the rest of your weekend is looking up!
