Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I like that DCJ.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Wow. Just wow. Fay, that was totally worth it. You just jiggled me out of the scathing remarks I have about the front office people at the veterinary clinic. I've calmed down from being seriously pissed off to now being somewhat disappointed.

The vet and I had discussed Sammie spending the night there, so they could collect a sample of the first urine of the morning after not having any liquids overnight. When I called to make the appointment to do this, the receptionist/tech told me to just take away the water dish and close the lid on the toilet, then bring her in in the morning. Which I did. But seeing as Sammie has had access to a litterbox all night, she has nothing in her bladder now. So they are going to keep her for a few hours and try to get a sample later. And I think they said they were going to give her some water.

But... But...

How will this help? How will this be different from any other time they took a random sample? They've already got two that have similar results.

The thing is, I think the vet has a pretty good feel for what will work for me and Sammie (by way of things I can manage to do to her), but the front office people just go by "standard procedures". I'm either going to have to get tough with them about stuff the vet and I talked about, or I am going to have to find a vet clinic with better office staff. I'm frustrated right now - at least as much with myself as with them.

Oh, how frustrating, WS. I'm so sorry. It's no fun when the poor pets are not feeling well!

Andi, I hope you and Sammie can get this worked out with the vet staff. Poor noodle.

Perfect.

I've got these evil hand issues.

WS, that really sucks. Sending more healthma Sammie's way.

I am on the verge of a panic attack. I'm all anxious and the anxiety is clawing at me, I'm jittery and inside I just want to go and scream. Everyone things got me on edge and I'm basically about to explode. I want to go home and have my freak out and then be over it. And I barely got any sleep last night which is making this worse.

But my supervisor is at the doctor's so I can't ask if I can leave.

{{{askye}}} Honey, can you take 25mg of seroquel to take the edge off?

Oh dear, Andi. Stupidheads! Fie upon them!

vw, I'm at work and don't have my meds with me. I'm just trying to wait it out until my supervisor gets back. I'm really restless and can barely stay at m desk, but I have some mindless repetitive work to do so maybe that will help keep me calm.
