Lappy won't boot, can't find a hard drive. Seems pretty fatal. Nearly an hour on the phone with Dell. Can't make any more decisions tonight.

Did Dell have you open up the Hard Drive bay and reseat the HDD? If they didn't, you should.

...providing that model has an easily accessible HDD.

Except on the Office, where it sent pop up my nose from quite literally LOL.

Don't know if it's the same scene you mean, but the scene from the UK version of The Office where the wheelchair user is abandoned on the stairs during the fire drill is a total classic.

I don't know why, so long after so much other stupidity is eradicated, the idea that sitting in a wheelchair for a day or blindfolding yourself "tells you what it's like" persists.

It's heavily criticised over here. I've just been writing about that in my dissertation (specifically, why physiotherapists shouldn't be doing this and then saying they're trained in 'disability'.) Do you have Disability Equality Training in the States? The version of such training which is focused on, well, equality. It's good. No blindfolds, earplugs or borrowed wheelchairs anywhere in that. I was planning to start working as a trainer in that field. I got distracted by academic stuff. But I still might.

Next time (which hopefully there isn't one), can you call the police from your car while the guy is still there?

That's the advice I was given - to call 999 if I feel threatened. It's a tough call, deciding when you should do that, 'cos I don't want to waste police time. But if I'm accosted by that man again, I absolutely will.

OK, I'm working. Seriously. I was never here.

Bruce's son with Talia Al Ghul. That would be the son who wasn't in continuity, until DC decided he should be.

I indulge in my geek . . .

So the graphic novels aren't considered continuity? (ie, I own the one where the baby is born)

Speaking of fail, in looking up a fail pic, I found this. Punctuation vigilante strikes again! [link]

So the graphic novels aren't considered continuity?

Most of them are, but that one wasn't. But now it is.

I showed up for the shot along with 2 billion other people. There was no parking anywhere and a ridiculous line, so I left. I don't even know what to do. None of my doctors have it and can't refer me to anyone. We have an appointment today with a pediatrician - I'm hoping maybe he has it and will take pity on me? So annoying.

GC, some of the pharmacy's around here are giving them at as well as the urgent cares, is that an option for you?

I've called both - no luck :(

{{{GC}}} I'm sorry for the frustration.

I have no idea if this McDonald's milkshake I'm drinking has any actual food content, but man it's sooooooooooo gooooooooood.
