So my supervisor (who is very good and supportive) thinks that going further with my grievance would be "career limiting," and has confirmed that I was screened out on the basis of not having one of the required qualifications. It`s all such BS. Of the people who work at the place I applied to, one of them has the degree that is now required.

I was presented with HR with several options that would involve getting more education. (On whose dime, I`d like to know.) And hey did I mention I just spent 4 years getting a masters degree (on my own time and dime)?

See tagline.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sorry so stabby, Sue.

Now, you should know how fast and loose I play with my own medical stuff, BUT, Dana, I can only imagine that any medicine where you would have a bad problem from one or two times of having a couple of drinks would have to say that right on the bottle. I mean, right? Lots of people in this country drink alcohol regularly, and many medicines do have a warning about it.

He also said "no alcohol" while taking ibuprofen. I said okay, how long does the ibuprofen have to be out of the system before I can drink. He said ten days.

That's just crazy talk. Though I'm sure Steph got here before me on this.

I just had boxed palak paneer that I bought at a corner bodega for lunch, and it was SO AWESOME. I need to get more of that shit ASAP.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I think Doctors say "Avoid alcohol while taking X" just as a way of getting people to cut down on their general alcohol intake

I also think that they're not doing this to benefit your health, but to make sure there's enough alcohol left for them.

Dear Megan,

Talk to your minister and get him to kick some archival asses. (He`s also their minister.)

Love, Sue
