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.

Ok. I'm pooped. Unfortunately, I've got two hours to go. Entertain me!

I'd tap dance, but my knee is killing me, so I'll just throw glitter and make funny "grr"-like sounds, vw.

Teppy, Not!Regular!Doctor is nuts. I weigh more than twice what my "healthy" weight would be, and have never, ever had an upped dosage for antibiotics. This, in spite of my history of frequent cases of bronchitis, sinusitis, and ear infections. There have been two times when a single, regular dosage course of meds did not do the trick for me, and neither had to do with my size.

I'd tap dance

I read this first as lap dance.

Well, that would be entertaining!
