Spike ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I wish teachers were considered high risk. I swear we get exposed to just as many germs as the average health care worker.
Srsly. I am considered high risk due to my asthma, but getting an H1N1 shot is next to impossible right now. So, I wait.
I get the regular flu shot every year.
In non-viral news, I've arrived on Kos. Somebody just called me sexist and an example of a middle-school mentality. No word on locker-shoving or being a Mean Girl as of this writing. As if. But I used more words than that. I just *love* getting chastised by strangers...sets the day off so nicely. Like that friendly "Hi, newbie," kick in the groin.
You'll really know you've arrived when they compare you to Hitler.
Then I guess I get to run for office.

Ginger is just like Hitler! Um... they're both bipedal and... um... like candy....
I believe in health care reform with a public option. That makes me a Nazi, right?
I believe in single-payer public healthcare, which I'm pretty sure makes me Hitler.
(My current job search would be going so much better if it weren't tied to my health insurance. Freelance opportunities are popping up everywhere, and I can't afford to take any of them.)

A socialist Nazi.
So, anyway, Tom and I went out on the town last night to celebrate me finishing my comps and him winning first prize (and $100!) for a Woot photoshop competition. It was fun- we went out to this place for dinner and I asked the bartender if he knew any good cocktails that had Fernet as an ingredient.
Et, voila!
It was really tasty, and I may have found myself a new cocktail.
We had a really fun time- after dinner, we went to another bar and hung out with some friends for an hour and then went to ANOTHER bar, ostensibly to drop off growlers but we ended up staying for a beer. It was like Date Night! Fun.
I actually believe in single-payer care, but I wasn't sure where that would put me in the spectrum of odious comparisons.
The evils of our current system become much more obvious if you're freelancing and/or have a pre-existing condition. The largely accidental linkage of health insurance to employer has so warped our current system. One of the reasons I just want to point and laugh at people who want the "free market" to govern health care is that our system cannot properly operate as a free market, because most users of the service are not the customers. Their employers are the customers.
