I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

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

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

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.

What is even happening?

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.

I so hear ya! Another reason I want a door or an office. I can close some of that out. The reps here for the most part are rude. They belch all the time (they are a bunch of boys) and yell at each other instead of walking to the person they want to speak to. I have to take conference calls on my cell in my car for quiet.

Nope, they sent the crazy guy to the psych ward (where he was supposed to be - he somehow ended up in ICU instead) and then had their lawyers try to bully the cow-orker into not suing. It's all pretty sad, plus now his wife has to deliver at a different hospital that's not nearly so nice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I remind you of Clint Eastwood?

Currently on VH1: The best ANTM moment EVAR!!

Shandi's boyfriend: What did you do??
Shandi: I did the worst possible thing.
Shandi's boyfriend: YOU HAD SEX?!?!?!??!

Or gorillas. I told you, I don't REMEMBER.

Stupid rage blackouts.
