Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I found out what the charge was.

How would you rate the juiciness of the charge?

a) Unpaid traffic tickets
b) Snorted coke of tranny hookers ass
c) White slavery

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How would you rate the juiciness of the charge?

d) Shoplifted My Little Pony box set

Ok - current co-worker had a court date in November. While she was there, a case was called - State of Michigan vs. Former Boss.

I found the docket number and did a search. Found out he had been arraigned in October.

I did more digging, and found out he was charged with assault or assault and battery!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I can't help you more, Aims.

I like PACER, and you can get a password right away if you register with a credit card. Also, I think they only send you a bill when you run up $10 worth of charges (it used to be $30), so you can look at 800 pages without paying a dime, and the accounts used to reset every Jan 1 -- I dunno if they still do.

What info could/would PACER get me?

I feel bad for the guy - he was a dick, but still. How stressful and icky.

PACER would get you nothin' because it's only federal courts.

Do you think he didn't do it? Because he's worse than a dick if he beat somebody up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd never heard of it [epidural] in a non-childbirth context.

Knee surgery and vasectomies also.

Jury's still out on yesterday's procedure. Despite sedation it was very painful, and I have restricted vertical movement of my head. But laterally seems improved.

Unfortunately the soreness exacerbated the migraine I'd been having since Wednesday, so I hauled my ass out of bed in the wee hours of this morning to go to the ER. Where I learnt that Dr. Baraff will no longer be authorising any pain meds for me. I have a chronic condition and "his" ER doesn't treat those. He's also sending an email telling my migraine specialist to stop sending me there.

I can't lie--I did envision a scenario or two in which he was in need of what I do, and I could turn him down for an equally weighty rationale. But wishes never fulfill like that, do they?

Aside from his decision, he was particularly shitty wrt talking to me--just discharged me without notice or discussion. I had to choose to wait on him for almost an hour more to get the justification above. He's not even a professional shithead.
