Waiting for the doc to come in, I noticed boxes of blue gloves on the shelf. Was suddenly a little nervous. Two-by-two, hands of blue.

I think it's the eye-bleeding stick you have to worry about, rather than just the blue gloves.

Heh. Speaking of Firefly, and even though I'm not exactly a fan, in a moment of frustration with incompetent!boss just now, I looked at him and exclaimed "Who's flying this thing?"

I heard a story once, about a class where the teacher had led the children in a study of animal testing of medications, and the things that are done to them. The class was going to write letters to these companies when one student stood up and said, "I'm diabetic. I feel bad about those rabbits, but without those medications, I would die."

Yeah. eyeshadow keeps me alive... t /rant about unnecessary fucking testing

vw, if its fun to let the guy have it for watching Cuckoos Nest one too many times then do it.

Betsy, which one?

Coming in a little late on this, but that guy is a Scientologist, or he has been (knowingly or unknowlingly) reading Scientolgy literature. It's one of the central theses to Scientology.

I don't know, I think there's a lot of just plain ignorance out there on this issue, based on decades old horror stories and half-remembered movies.

Yeah, that's just not ever going to happen. Luckily, the people she's brought it to so far are all like WTF?, but she's insisting that my boss bring it up to Craxy BigBoss. Unless we want her to do it, of course.

I think you should have them bring it up to Big Boss, and soon. The sooner the better, so that it's blown away before reviews. If they let the person with the asshead sit on it, asshead will find other things to whine about you.

It's such a tiny thing, that Big Boss might just see the craxy.

I think it's the one you recommend, Trudy; I've forgotten the name.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest certainly didn't help.

When ECT first began to be used, back in the day, the amount of electricity was unfuckingbelievably high compared to ECT today. And so that spectre hangs over it -- a high-voltage, fuck-you-up brain fry. And it's not at all like that today.

I've been to one of the off-price ones on Orchard Street. My next mission is the Towne Shoppe.

The Towne Shoppe it was.

Surely there is something similar in SF?

brenda, DH checked his email late last night and found that a corporate asshat had sent out a CYA email to everyone and their dog about issues that DH was working on and made EVERYONE but himself look bad. Even though said asshat had sat in on the committee, had a chance to comment and edit a report that went to a state department of insurance where the issues were a problem. He never said a word. Until now. I had to carefully edit DH's reply that he fired off last night at 10 p.m. lest he end up personally insulting the asshat and getting into trouble.

Yes. This. If the guy is this ignorant, he may well benefit from the class. If he can shut up long enough for the prof to teach it.
