Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

United Health Care's not much better. Start of every month they tell my pharmacy I'm not covered. I had to leave $900 of meds behind last night. And that's just the tip of my iceberg. Today I go back during business hours so they can all talk to each other.

Consider us what, Allyson?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Consider yourself...
At home!

Because books.

Congratulations, amych! Yay grad school!

Hivemind: Pinched nerve in neck -- ice or heat? I stepped into the shower just fine and stepped out unable to turn my head to the left without tingling, nasty nerve pain.

Oh, lovely hot shower, why hast thou forsaken me?

Wow. I'm so bored that I think I'm going to spend an hour trying to figure out how to work the scanner. Just as soon as I imbibe more caffeine.

It seems to me that newfan (Bronzer; physical therapist) told me not to ice my neck, if I was pretty sure it was a pinched nerve. I don't suppose you have a cervical collar, handy? Those help the most. They stretch everything back out.

I am sending nasty eyebeams to your shower, though. That ain't right. Did you have to reach high to adjust the shower, or do something wonky when you were rinsing your hair or something?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Congrats, amych!

So while I'm waiting for my ex-boss to get back to me on whether my resume is up to snuff for current standards or not, do I sit on it, or do I send out my possibly crappy resume? I worry that doing the latter is going to turn off some potential employers. But on the other hand, I wonder what opportunities I might miss out on by sitting on my duff while I wait.

AmyLiz, I'd say heat. Cold is for inflammation and swelling (to reduce it).

Shrift, it's your fault that I'm now downloading Ok Go.
