The best thing about the stay and look for the bomb procedure is that it is REAL. When somebody first told me, I thought it was hilarious. And then I was like 'Er, that's not actually real though is it?'. Yep. So I got the written procedure. Somebody WROTE IT DOWN. It got APPROVED. Part of my soul died that day, in the burning fires of corporate stupidity.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Is it just me or this an exceptionally crappy work week? And it's only Tuesday!!
It's a tremendously crappy work week. Mostly because I am now the last remaining member of my team; everyone else has found new jobs within the company. And the gossip is that yes, my team has been dissolved, but management is still saying "We're still deciding your new roles! Just hang in there, and we'll have a decision Real Soon Now!"
I am In A Mood. I am going to take great delight stalking the halls tomorrow while wearing frilly Victorian clothing, fangs, and a lot of blood.

Huh. Got a callback after all. More meds, yay!
Restricting the pickiest cat in the world's diet, boo!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Gee, sara, that sounds awesome?
I'm not crazy about this week at work either, and I've only been here one day! FTR.
Fingers crossed that my boss stays home tomorrow!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's astonishing, Kevin. How bizarre.
I am going to take great delight stalking the halls tomorrow while wearing frilly Victorian clothing, fangs, and a lot of blood.
Hooray, blood!
Speaking of blood, I'm supposed to get some blood drawn and I need to fast for 12 hours beforehand. I don't just show up at the lab and say I've fasted, take some blood, do I? They won't call me back to set an appointment, I'm starting to feel like I need a secret password to leave on teh answering machine.

Snort. I means...well, I'd say less fluids, but there's the foaming. Upside: no need to steam the carpets?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am now the last remaining member of my team
Huh. I was going to say it was impossible, but it's like you're an Army of One.
My 2:00 called and said we should meet tomorrow morning, which means I can take my meds, become less conscious and then resume working when the pain is less. Yay, world.
Lovely turtle. I'd name a daughter Caretta in a heartbeat.
So, not breeding.
So not breeding.
Stopped at a crosswalk to let a bunch of schoolkids cross, and as soon as I came to a full and final stop I thought "Fuck. I hope there's no cow."

That is what I had to do at Kaiser -- which, in a way, was good since I had complete control over the day.
I'm glad the phone finally rang, sarameg.

The last lab where I had to get blood taken was like this. Walk in, that is, no appointment necessary. (And I'd also left them a message on their machine and didn't get a call back and was confused until I asked my doctor's office about it...sheesh)
