You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Jesus. I would be freaking out SO HARD

We all were. I mean, jeeze the guy's in the hospital and his check is like $500 instead of $1000. The worse part was that this poor guy was in a room with a crazy old guy who hit him a bunch of times in the face with a heart monitor! Poor guy. It's been a crazy rollercoaster. Really, you can't make this stuff up!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, dude. That guy should get on the local news somehow, so they can get all free stuff for the baby.

What is even happening?

Yikes. I think not getting hit with anything after a by-pass of any number ought to be written on the chart.

Oh, and to finish off my workday tale of woe, at like 4:45, when my boss was giving me extensive edits on 10 letters, I looked at him and said, "Do you need me to stay to finish these tonight?" He said, "Oh. No, I have to leave at 5. Those can wait." THANK GOODNESS.

I know! It was insane! That's the kind of luck this poor guy has though. It took 2 nurses to pull the crazy, old guy off of him. The cops listed it as a "hate" crime too. The guy kept saying "you're one of those" at him. But my cow-orker is white and so was the crazy guy, so it was very strange. The worst part, this hospital is rated in the top 10 in the nation!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Huh, Diet Coke has more caffiene than Coke Zero.

That's it, I'm going back!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A co-worker came over with his regular LotR picture delivery, and the chick in the cube over was chewing, mouth open, so loudly that we had to stop talking until she was done her snack.

People.

People.

I'm about to go all Howard Hughes about body noises. Grunting, belching, farting, chewing -- these are not work sorts of noises, not in my line of business. The noises that sound like sex moans? Also not helping.

Dawn, I hope they gave him a private room for no extra charge, after that. That's horrible. Of all the times you ought not be upset.

Sounds like ita needs a private room, too.

I just don't get how people don't know they're making such loud noises, or how they can not understand/care it's distracting ...

For Jesse:

Hey, I'm happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm usless but not for long
The future is coming on

That seemed relevant, but then I had the rage blackout so I'm not sure why I needed post it.
