Other bitch

Curses—Foiled by political correctness! I went to the bank to pick up spending money for the weekend, and was all set up to be waited on by smoking hot Jared Leto-alike teller when I noticed that I was the second customer back in that line, there was one person in the next one over, and no one at all in the far left line staffed by the bank's lone black employee. I thought it would be awkward and I'd appear to be making a statement other than "My hormones urge me to be waited on by him!" by remaining where I was, so I missed out on the prime position for ogling.

On the plus side, inexpensive watches have improved dramatically since the last time I shopped for one. Today I bought a very swanky looking and comfy metal analog watch for $7.50 when I expected to be spending that for a cheap-ass plastic digital from Wal-Mart.

ita, I think your revised letter is MUCH clearer. I might add something about the point being to REDUCE narcotic use and possible dependance, and his actions causing MORE narcotic use (at the time) with no reduced pain--but I'd take out the "pain down to a 7" or whatever, because it just sounds too..something. Perhaps after the "he decided only to administer Dilaudid" bit. You say it in the first paragraph about the plan with the other doctors, but not in the "what he actually did" para.

And definitely add what Kat said about hoping someone has a word with him about how to (a) assess a patient (b) take a medical history and (c) ensure a treatment is successful. Sure, you just left in pain. What if you'd been in pain because you were having a heart attack, and he didn't listen that you were still in pain, and let you go home and DIE? That's not effective, nor is it a good plan for the hospital (that, they could get sued for). Not that you should add that scenario, but.

Okay, so check this out. I put the coffee table... IN FRONT of the futon! So I can sit on the futon and put something on the table! Like a meal! Or stuff! Mostly, it appears, the coffee table will be holding a cat. To be fair, I did just take away her two favorite lounging places, so I probably owe her.

Also, Firefox doesn't recognize the word "okay". It suggests "Tokay".

Timelies all!

We need to do some cleaning this weekend. Ugh.

Whoa! Check this out: What the world eats.

I should either take my comforters to the laundrymat or clean my apartment. I want to either take a nap or take a bath.

Corwood, that was totally interesting and sad in some cases. Thanks for sharing. I like how one of the families recipes was for pig's knuckles (EW).

I was particularly interested in the difference in how much fresh produce they eat. Like, Ecuador: nothing BUT produce; Mexico and Egypt: PRODUCE; Japan and the U.S. and Mongolia: No produce; Chad: ... nothing at all.

What's that screaming and groaning I'm hearing?
