instead of reading this thread I should just stay at work with the GI bleeds and the cellulitis

Everyone still alive?

I've been super busy. I miss reading your semi-inappropriate comments!

John - I need to come up and bring this baby gift I made for you guys at some point... and meet your little dude!

I'm overwhelmed with concerts; just had one in CT yesterday, have another in MA on Sunday

tonight I go drinking with a friend who is moving to Austin on Wednesday

right now I'm listening to VNV Nation and reading Ned's musing about them here; I think A esp would like these guys

I had a busy BUSY weekend at work- our patients are really heavy right now (not physically, for most of them, but just need a lot of care). All my patients were some level of confused/dementia with more physical ailments (pneumonia, pneumothorax with chest tube, etc.).

One of them - who was at the very end of the hall, farthest away from the nurse's station - figured out how to turn off his bed alarm. He couldn't remember he was in the hospital but he could figure THAT out. I'd hear it go off and run down there and find him standing there, turning it off and complaining about the noise. Then when I would get him back to bed he had a lot to say about how sad it is that people don't "keep their lawns green" anymore. It was sort of hilarious (I loved this guy, seriously) but at the same time it took up a lot of time.

I slept in til past noon today. I literally kept hitting my snooze alarm for over an hour and a half.

I was so tired this morning that I was hitting the snooze button in my sleep.

haha, yep.

I think you might have been in a dream I was having, deX, but that is all I remember about it (i.e. you were around).

But maybe I am just as disoriented as my patients were.

I was in Chicago last week for work and having problems sleeping, which led to lots of late nights in the Central time zone, which meant when I got home I'd programmed myself to go to sleep at 3 AM for NO FUCKING REASON

Yesterday before my shift I tried to prove that I was participating in self-injuring behavior by eating some sliced jalapenos we had in the break room - plain.

This does not qualify, it turns out. So I had to work.

SIGH

Ugh, I haaaate it when I can't sleep!

Can you re-set by taking an Advil PM or similar for a night or two and get back on track?

do those go well with bourbon? I just bought a bottle of Booker's

haha NO

especially not with anything with acetaminophen in it!

which pills go best with bourbon, then? because the bourbon part is non-negotiable

Bourbon goes with bourbon

Skip the pills, go directly to liver damage

COLLECT $200

done and done

My work here is done.

so what should I change next time to avoid the blinding headache the next morning

right now I'm assuming the answer is "don't watch the Vikings"

That plus drink more water.

But yeah, I actively advise patients to not get involved with the Vikings but NO ONE ever listens to this advice for some reason.

that uncomfortable moment when your dad starts comparing his granddaughters (who are 4 and 2) to Bo Derek

Facebook, what ill have you wrought on my family

hahahahahahahaha

ok what?

I thought I was disoriented today already (for some reason I can't get "The Search is Over" out of my head and it is really starting to piss me off. THAT is what happens when I have to get up at 0430, people!).

lol jjj coming in like a wrecking ball on the "leaving without saying goodbye" thread

haha

as I get older, I realize that when I was younger my problem wasn't that I was an introvert; I was just a dick

i am as god made me, esp wrt people confusing disinterest in basic social graces with some sort of quirky i just gotta be me personal trait

*hi-five*

gonna post this here because it rules

T0dd got engaged to his partner today - and then I got asked to be in the wedding. <3

Seriously this made me absurdly happy, so much so that I cried happy tears! Yay!

one of my friends keeps talking about how much he loves CBT and I have to constantly remind myself that he means cognitive behavioral therapy

also another friend was on TV in DC today

I made my second panforte of the year tonight and this time I didn't overbake it (probably a little underdone, actually).

Just wanted you all to know that, as always now, I considered the question of whether to mail deX Christmas poop or not.

Of course right now he appears to be safe in SF...

If only there was something waiting for him to welcome him home...

Ohhhhhh yeaaaaaaah

shout out to FB:

Feb. 19

• Hastings police were called to check the welfare of a male in the area of 10th and Tyler streets at 7:01 a.m.

The man was reportedly falling down and covered with snow. He was found to be intoxicated and was in town for a court date. The man had walked from Prior Lake for the court date.

His attorney was called and was told the man was being taken to detox.

this is amazing:

July 2

• An officer responded to the report of a thief at a store in the 200 block of 33rd Street at 8:01 p.m.

A male put a deli sandwich, a can of frappucino and a can of Mountain Dew Kickstart in his shorts and fled on a bicycle, which was pulling a small cart.

Semi-relatedly, I check in on this log of insanity regularly and am rarely disappointed: http://www.bcdemocrat.com/index.php?id=13

!!! @ Hastings' police blotter

FYI Apple computers are really fucking annoying when something goes wrong with them

My 2009 iMac's DVD drive began to refuse to eject CDs the other day. I took it into the Genius Bar to have them get the CD out, which they were able to do. However, the drive now thinks it has a blank DVD in it even though it's empty. Furthermore, the drive makes horrible grinding noises every time the computer wakes up. I can replace the internal drive for over $150 or I could buy an external drive for cheaper; I can't get a Super Drive though because the firmware EXPRESSLY FORBIDS them from working together. Finally, the support for the machine is about to be end-of-life'd anyway due to its age.

Oh, and also the display is starting to show discoloration and will cost something like $500 to replace if I decide to do so.

If this had happened with a PC, I could have opened the DVD drive myself and replaced it myself, resolving this whole fucking thing in maybe 90 minutes. Speaking of which, I may be getting a PC this weekend because this fucking machine irks me.

Ugh, I hate computer problems.

But I cannot divorce Macs unless I break up with Austin.

Also, the PCs we use at work are a nightmare (although that is related to the twenty five billion different programs they have to contain).

Sorry you are having these issues, tho. :(
