Also, Epic, you know I was just funnin' you, right?
Yep. Just a slow typist, Toots.
Mini-Rant Warning.
Okay, getting so irritated right now. Still waiting to get the last part of the group project that's DUE TONIGHT and was supposed to be TURNED IN TO ME BY SUNDAY NIGHT for proofing. I'm regretting the aggravation of being the leader of this group, but there's no way that I wanted to let one of the INFANTS who've attached themselves to me be in charge of the project that's going to be part of my grade, y'know? Once upon a time it was gratifying to be popular with classmates. Right now, annoying as all hell. Especially since I know the reason they like me is I do more work than they do. Because
I
know that if I want it done right...blah, blah, blah. Arrgh!
Thank you for your attention. You may now return to your non-rant posting.
Epic, I think it varies from place to place. The hospital I work at doesn't charge patients for records but does sometimes charge third parties. Possibly because we're a public university teaching hospital, which would make every taxpayer in California our partial-employers, and who are we to deny our bosses their requests?
I'm just completely fucking boggled at the notion that medical records can legally be withheld for nonpayment. The patient's wellbeing ought to take precedence over the profit motive, dammit.
Doctor has a theory. It's not bunnies. And I don't particularly like it.
You guys really aren't kidding about the Snuffleupagus thing? He's a) not a rare appearance on the show anymore, b) not someone who exists even though other folks never see him, and c) this too is the fault of the Reagan years?
Maybe the neo-cons will counter-act this, as it goes against belief in Jesus. Besides, the "No, really, he was right here" schtick was way funnier than the "you're a freaking mastodon, but you must be a greyhound for people to like you. Dance, motherupagus, dance!" thing.

Maybe midgets?

And yes, this. Aimee, have you had NewPlace contact OldPlace to request transfer? (Though you'd still have to approve, I think. HIPAA and all that).
What's the theory, Bug?
eta: Unless I'm being way too nosy, in which case, forget I asked and ignore everything in this post but my caring about you.
On edit: I may delete that in a while. I'm not sure how I feel about putting that out there.
On second edit: Hee, Robin!
On third edit: Deleted.

I may be too invested. I'm so upset on Snuffy's behalf. Because I'm overweight and an
awesome
dancer. Stop trying to hold back my people! And our formerly invisible friends!
{{vw}} I have no idea what most of that meant, but I'll continue vibing and praying for your recovery. Even if it's midgets.
