Hec, I found it online for $5, so no worries. (Though I may wait and see if I can snag a copy sans shipping costs at ComicCon in July.)

Sorry about the side-effects, Tep.

Poor Teppy! I'm so sorry, you.

Hookers for Face Cream are back again today.

Complete with loudspeaker that they play on siren.

vw, your ILL is on crack. The second one you sent is in book form, and I see that Stanford has a copy. I can borrow it for you, if that would help.

Oh, I'm SO glad it's not me. I was beginning to believe I had lost my mind. If you could borrow it for me, I would owe you my firstborn.

Okay, I'll e- them my request. It should come to me pretty quickly.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate this.

Sending lots of healing ~ma to Teppy.

Well, they finally resolved my job crap. I got my pretty raise at the beginning of the year and that is it. I stay the same grade, even though everyone acknowledges that I belong in a higher grade.

What-the-fuck-ever.

I'm so tired of this. They are so damn lucky they pay me well and that I like my job. Cause this smoke blowing sucks.

Ugh, that sucks, Tep.

Man, I'ma punch my doctor in the head the next time I see her. She isn't the GP I normally see; she's part of my GP's practice, and I've seen her before when my regular GP hasn't been in. Which is what happened this time. And if my ear hadn't hurt so much, I would have waited until my regular doc came back from vacation, because he has never done me wrong.

I admit, alternate!doctor had no idea that the Cipro would make me so sick to my stomach, though I *did* wonder why she was prescribing something for me that I'd never taken before, when my chart has a list of antibiotics that have worked beautifully in the past. And then the new antibiotic -- same thing. I'd never taken it before, AND she prescribed a MASSIVELY high dose for me, the kind of dose that people with *anthrax* need, for real. Not for an ear infection.

But I figured she knew what she was doing, and maybe the antibiotics she chose are the best against ear infections (versus bronchitis, UTIs, other infections a person might get), and that maybe the dosage was so high because I weigh more than the average woman, and drug dosages are often -- though not always -- based on weight.

And mostly I figured she knew what she was doing because, well, she's got a damn medical degree.

That'll teach me. Next time, I wait for good!doctor to come back from vacation.

Hey All.

Steph, hope you're feeling better soon.

vw, glad to hear of a better day.

MG, I kick your stupidhead bosses for being such a large pain in your ass. ::kick, kick::

No meara, so I hope I covered everyone.

Liberally sprinkles about ~ma, just in case.
