Here's a paragraph that I puzzled over for a few minutes:

Sudden cardiac death syndrome (SCD) is unexpected death from cardiac causes. SCD accounts for approximately 300,000 deaths a year in the United States and 45,000 deaths in Canada. Of these deaths, 56% occur out of the hospital or in the ED (Emergency Department). Of the patients who survive SCD, only 20% are discharged from the hospital without neurologic impairment.

Death seems like the worst kind of neurologic impairment I can think of, so I don't know what's going on with those 20% who are dead and discharged without it.

it's really that first sentence that is lol.

20% of survivors, not deathers... right?

I assume so. I think they just need to edit the hell out of that paragraph. Because not a lot of people survive death, in my experience.

omg my law book last semester was the most poorly edited pos ever. for all they charge on textbooks you'd think they would read them before going to print!

I would not want to edit this monster book; it's about 2,000 pages long, complete with tiny print and a million tables. I just try to enjoy the lolz when they appear...

Oh my god, some how my visually impaired screen reader has been turned on on my machine and I can't figure out how to turn it off. This means I can't listen to music today until I get home tonight and fix it (hopefully).

Our IT guy is on vacation and I would be embarrassed to go to him anyway. He seemed reluctant to give me admin access thinking I'd probably F something up. Never have before but I am Mac clumsy. Mensa!

i don't know what that means, susan! screen reader = music? /luddite

It's a program for visually-impaired people which reads everything as you're doing it ("dialogue-box, open button selected" or "firefox, http:www.ilxor.com, Style Annoyances", etc)

I use it to test Web sites and make sure they are accesssible but damn if I want Stephen Hawking narrating my work all day.

oh damn. :(

can you not change the settings to have it read to you in an interesting voice. such as darth vader, or mr t? :P

Haha, a smooth British accent would make me feel my interweb fuxoring around was actually sophisticated and intellectual.

Fixed stupid assistive technology thing. Thank god.

But you should definitely turn on the smooth British accent.

If my computer talked to me in a British accent, I would probably never get up again.

Id throw mine out the window.

I have a dilemma -> Im getting one of those headaches that Im sure will turn really bad if i dont head it off at the pass with 4 advil. I seem to have left my supply at home though. The dilemma -> Do I tough it out and keep my bitchin parking spot at work or do I save my head but end up parking a mile away?

save my head by getting advil, that is

the headache will last longer than the walk from your parking spot will.

I hate headaches so I'd go get the Advil.

If it's hot in Ark. today, I would deal with the headache. A mile walk in 90-100 weather sounds worse to me. (have you asked other people if they have any?)

Definitely ask around; usually there is someone around with a supply of ibuprofen. Because it does sound too hot to be out walking.

Ask around! I didnt think of that. THX!

also its been cool in AR since the hurricane went over saturday night. 55F at 6am and the high is only 79F.

Dear Canadian Air, Please come down and visit more often, Love XOXO KB

Oooh today is going so much better than yesterday! And it is an amazing afternoon to be eating lunch outside :-). I think the fact that I slept a good 6 hours last night instead of 3 is really helping!

Isnt it weird how you can adjust to different hours of sleep. Like when beats was an infant if I got 4 straight hours i was feeling incredibly refreshed but now if im not getting 8-9 im all OHMYGOD IM SO TIRED

I just remember trying to decide whether to sleep 5 solid hours and wake up in a pool of milk or just take the 3 hour interval and get up and pump and be more comfortable and less damp.

I'm really a wimp now compared to a decade ago.

wow women are a mystery

does that mean we don't even have to try to figure them out? Woop! Thanks Dan :)

I didn't mean that. I like a good mystery. As i make a hasty retreat from previous statements, Dashiell Hammett I salute you.

Too late, girls are closed to you forever.

i have already notified the australian girls' branch.

nz now too.

the pacific islands will know within the hour.

Upper midwest women of the U.S.A. have been alerted. Sorry dude.

I will pour one out for you at the bar tonite, Nick.

Southern women are engaging shutdown processes

At least a gig full in northwest london are now full aware and the centre of a knowledge storm.

northeast corridor has been informed to avoid at all costs.

this is like, terror level red, people.

If my computer talked to me in a British accent, I would probably never get up again.

If you have google talk and a mic this could be arranged.

so tired this morning. ack.

If you have google talk and a mic this could be arranged.

Haha.

Does anyone ever feel their life slipping away? I remember last Friday and the joy of an impending weekend so well. Then the depression comes crashing down on Monday. Now joy rises because it's Thursday but hey. . didn't we just do this?

yeah so... it's thursday and already i am trying to figure out how i am going to make it through the weekend and all i have to get done... and then continue on for another week of it... ugh.

Yes, you and Sara are in a different predicment. :)

im totally getting a life slipping away feeling. im having some crazy hissyfits that occasionally reach panic attack levels about it. if something that has to be done is going to take a few months I freak out thinking about how that time was/is going to be wasted and I’ll never get it back. probably just temporary fallout from having kid and watching her grow so quick and having husband w/ cancer, i guess.

oh yeah, and getting mfing old

Wow Sunny, I was gone awhile and missed out on the latter. I'm very sorry.

he's fine now but it took some major surgery and 6 months of chemo. i hardly have anything to complain about. it could have been worse and it wasnt me having crazy drugs pumped into me for 5 hours straight every fortnight.
