What is even happening?

I'm now a system analyst for a hospital (irony of ironies) in the patient accounting department.
That's what I used to do, long ago and far away, when hospital computers were powered by gerbils running in those little wheel thingies. In a sorta kind of coincidence, I ran the project when we had to change our registration system's logic for the Medicare questions on renal disease.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Didn't Jeff say "potassium"? If he didn't I'm decidedly not clever.

No. He said phosphorus (which I think is stuff like milk, cheese, beans, organ meats).

Actually, I said both. No oranges for me, and cheese, glorious cheese is off the list. I'm not sad about avoiding organ meats, though.

(Massive X-post. You guys are fast).

When I was in the hospital, I found myself saying, "Hm, this 'Ellen' show isn't too bad. When's 'The Price is Right' on?"

was your morphine drip set too high? :)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I have ice cream now. This is a good thing.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I want cookies.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hmmm. Now I want morphine, ice cream and cookies.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Good luck, Jeff.

I have a chocolate rice krispy treat.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Here you are, talking about ice cream and cookies, and I'm about ready to head out and pick up my first batch of diet food, which starts with tonight's dinner. Of course, I had a donut and Cadbury mini-eggs for breakfast as one last pig-out treat.

Be that as it may, it's good you're back here and no longer in the hospital, Jeff!

Always Anti-fascist!

Together? That's either greedy or just gross, I'm not sure which. morphine, cookies, and ice cream. Of course, I'm the idiot who ate a dinner featuring a nice pinot noir and my head's weight in red licorice...don't try that at home, hmm?
