I stayed behind after my appointment to talk to the doctor again. I'm pretty sure I pissed him off, but he says he'll consult with my migraine specialist. But given the speed migraine guy works at, I'll have a few more ER visits before they even talk. I'm just not urgent anymore. Visibly depressed, according to the pain guy, but apparently not urgent.
Saffron: You're a good man. Mal: You clearly haven't been talking to anyone else on this boat.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

So what did Bobby Jindal choose to ridicule in this response to Obama last night? Volcano monitoring, of course.
That combined with the reference to Katrina apparently indicates that the lesson of Katrina is that the government shouldn't waste money monitoring hurricanes and leave rescue and relief efforts to the private sector.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Harry Lee is still around? He was sheriff of Jefferson Parish when I was a student in NOLA. And I graduated 25 years ago.
And am I terrible because Bobby Jindal's name makes me think of an old Kay Kyser song (I've got spurs that Jindal, Jandal, Jindal....)?

He died...last year? Couple of years ago? Sheriff of Jefferson Parish to the end.

At one job I had in Boston, I regularly corresponded with a man in the San Francisco office. Once he left me a voice mail consisting entirely of him singing a couple choruses of that song.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
He died...last year? Couple of years ago?
Yeah. '07.

When I did TV news monitoring, I did a lot of work with NOLA. One of the local reporters went across the river to report on something, and she and her cameraman were hassled and the cameraman arrested for something. The next night, she was wearing something khaki, and the anchor said, "Oh, going across the river again tonight? You're dressed for combat."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Argh, argh! Dear coworkers, would you just send me the last couple of things I need? I understand that they are taking a long time to complete, but I don't understand WHY.

I have just agreed to go out on Friday night with some work colleagues. Why have I done this? Why can't I learn to say no? I'm officially freaking out now!
