Okay, this is the last whine I'm going to post about this (unless my throat closes up or something; I think that deserves some whining): my upper eyelids are swollen. Not, like, hangover-type puffy; swollen.

I just took a Benadryl. Hopefully it'll de-swell my face. I'ma give it an hour or so, and if I'm still swollen, I'm calling my doctor's office back to beg for some direction as to what I should do to deal with this reaction.

(Don't say hospital.)

((((Buffistas with medical issues))))

Go Aims!! Good luck with the cool new job.

Don't say hospital.

I don't think that's necessary, but definitely keep calling your doctor. And, if you don't hear back, is there an urgent care place nearby?

Thanks for all of the ~~ma this morning. So far, everything is going swimmingly. I stopped and bought bagels for the office and ran into my new boss who was also there to buy bagels, but I beat her to it. She said I'd be loved instantly for bringing in food. Wheee!!

I have a really good felling about this place. I told Joe this morning that I haven't felt this good on the first day of a new job in, like, ever.

I love you guys.

What's your weapon of choice?

Christopher Walken dancing to Fatboy Slim.

And, if you don't hear back, is there an urgent care place nearby?

There's a hospital that's about a 3-minute drive away from my office.

But I'll probably de-puff.

Yeah, the Benedryl should really help.

I JUST ASKED FOR A RAISE!

Oy. And he said "Everyone I have spoken with has been impressed with your work so far. Let me look into the process for mid-year adjustments".

Sounds like a "sure, let me figure out how to do it" to me - right?

Hyperventalating now.

Yeah, the Benedryl should really help.

It's a wonder drug. Although I should probably go swill some more coffee right now, b/c the benadryl is going to zonk me.
