The main thing about signing up with a career counselor is to get some personal recommendations and look for certification.

Yeah, I got those, which was especially helpful.

Thanks, Theodosia, I appreciate the worrying, really! I've suffered from canker sores for pretty much my whole life, and the only thing that's ever made any difference is topical steroids - they make them go away marginally quicker. Other than that, benzocaine is my friend. I'm not sure anti-virals would work. I think the latest thinking is that they're an auto-immune reaction to damage in the mouth, rather than being caused by bacteria or a virus.

ugh. current family dr for me and mac is not on new medical plan and out-of-network is a $1K annual deductible. Can't really justify $1K a year when the dr. is not even in a convenient location anymore. love her and the medical group, but I think I have to dr. hunt again. hate that.

Coworker brought in doughnuts and kolaches.

mmmm, warm glazed doughnuts...

kolaches

Is that a kolsch style beer served in galoshes?

There's a bar in Madison where you can get a beer in a boot. A nice glass boot.

Is this a common thing? (It's a German-ish bar.)

and kolaches.

I'm so very awake that I read this as koalas and cool!

Uh....

The very pregnant lady better not have given me her cold.

Actually, I think this is just morning stupidness.

Beer served in a koala would be cool, though.
