And did I mention that the decision to make this change came from people who don't actually do what I do, and have NEVER done what I do, so they have no idea of what it entails?

Oh yeah. I saw the same mindset at CNET. Too cheap ass to get a voice recognition site license...then employees started getting RSI like it was going out of style. The voice recognition and accommodation up front would have cost them less than the lost work time, worker's comp settlements, and loss of trained workers did.

But somehow MBAs never learn this stuff.

I got an A- in my science class. Had I been better about keeping up with in class discussions it could have been an A, but with all the drama in my house over the last month, I let my participation slide.

I have a math class starting next week - so nice to have a week off between classes. I haven't taken a school break in a long time. Ahhhhh.

I guess I needed that nap. It was about four hours, for those of you playing along at home.

Do you wear wrist braces, Teppy? the caption editors here, who type and mouse all day long, almost all wear these: [link]

They really help.

Robin, I just sent the link to our sort-of HR person, telling her about them -- thanks!

Sweet! I only aspire to that level of dandyism. How cool is it to have your own signature fold? The Astaire! The Cooper! The Cagney!

Well, I'm setting the bar pretty low today. My Converse are split halfway up the side.

Also I need to wear a Zout medallion to wipe out the inevitable stains that land in the middle of my shirts.

Go, MG! And yay for the break!

I just talked to my psychopharm. He's pissed at the ER, because they didn't consult him when I was there Monday/Tuesday. He's also pissed that I had two seizures in the waiting room, but I think he's more pissed that they didn't consult him. I told them to page him. TWICE. I even told them that he was angry the last time I came in for seizures, because they didn't consult him, and he would have asked for an EEG to be done. So, they knew. I'm afraid heads may roll.

He was actually very helpful, though. He gave me firm guidelines as to *when* I need to go back to the ER (if a seizure lasts more than 10 minutes, if I have convulsions, or if I have more than 3 in a day). No one else had done that, so I needed some reassurance. He also said if I have to go back, I'll probably be admitted. Ugh. Hopefully I won't have to go back.
