Like there are sooooo many jobs to go around. The turnover rate at this place is crazy high, and apart from the managers, just a few people have worked there longer than six months. I'm sticking it out because we need the money, but I've been putting applications out for other places. I also called out 'for an appointment' on Friday morning, but really it was for a paying photo shoot. $300 is worth missing work and lying about the reason.

At least I haven't had any more crap about my shoes, AND I haven't been scolded about my wrist tattoos. Probably because I've made it known that they're going to have to explain to me exactly how my tattoos are 'unprofessional' before I comy, and there's nothing even slightly unprofessional about them.

I have a headache that is painkiller resistant, neither a coldpress nor a hotpress helped it, and my usual pressure spots aren't working.

Fuck.

I get a those a lot.  Where is the pain focused?

Sides of the head.  It's probably a migraine of sorts.

Addendum:

Also my forehead.

Sorry, forgot to mention that.

Most of my relief strategies relate to heat and cold, which you did say that you've already tried.  I've never had any success with putting a hot or cold press directly on my head, but sometimes putting one on the back of the neck at the base of the skull.  Somewhat predictably, ice tends to numb it, which offers immediate but temporary relief, while heat seems to make ti go away a bit faster.  I've had different people tell me that one works and the other makes it worse, but which is which has changed.  Both have worked for me.  Unfortunately, this seems to be most effective when the pain is more toward the back and center of the head.

The other thing that often works for me is washing my face and hands in extremely hot water.  I have no idea why it works, but it does, though the effects don't tend to last more than 15-30 minutes.  A more intense version is a really hot shower or bath, but the effort necessary to do those things can offset the benefit.

Caffeine tends to be helpful, but if you took migraine medication, it probably had some in it, so if that didn't work, it probably isn't going to.

The best thing to do is sleep, though I know you have trouble with that.  Even failing that, being online (looking at small print on a glowing screen) is one of the worst things that you can do, so if it's bad I would seek refuge in a dark room and stay away from screens.

I hope that any of this helps.

Actually, the good thing is, it's going down on its own.  Coming and going, but diminishing each time.

EDIT:

Aaaaaaand it's back with a vengeance.  And unfortunately, I'm capped out on my painkillers for the day so I'm SOL.

ADD:

Okay so, I was comparing the dosages of my Migraine Relief and my Headache Relief to see the differences between them, and I'm surprised to find out that, according to the ingredients, they are exactly the same.

250 mg of acetaminophen (tylenol)
250 mg of aspirin
65 mg of caffeine.

They are both "per capsule"

The only differences between them (other than capsule shape) is that the migraine meds says a max of 2 in 24 hours, and the headache meds says a max of 8 in 24 hours.

They are both the same brand, equate.

I'm... very confused.

There are articles plastered everywhere about how the Duggars are visiting a fertility specialist because they want more kids. By their logic, they seem to be defying god's wishes because they think he'll stop giving them babies when he feels like it. Also, their specialist needs to falcon punch her and tell her to go to hell for being so irresponsible. The next kid will likely have tons of birth defects, or she'll probably just miscarry again.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Sometimes it's fun to poke them.  Been blocked from at least three of them in the past month or so.

My gods they're entitled fuckwits, though.
