Considering the way I feel right now, I suspect that I'll be spending the weekend in bed. I hope it's not the flu. Maybe I should take my work laptop with me tonight in case it is.
I'm scheduled to get a regular flu shot next week.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Punishingly Intricate
Ha! Yaya. I am having a day. Seat assignments came out for our new office space and I am busted back to a cube. Despite just having taken over project management of the main project I work on with no added compensation. Grrr. I know I should be glad to have a job and our space is super limited but I'm hurt and pissed.

I got my kids seasonal FluMist yesterday. The county has H1N1 FluMist now but not the shots (I want to get the kids the H1N1 shots. Go on, ask me why.) In GA the only people getting the H1N1 vaccine appear to be county health departments, and they are first-come, first served. Not sure if they are enforcing any limits on who is eligible.
Does Liese have H1N1? She seems pretty seriously sick, yo. And a couple of other of my online friends, too. It's been widespread but mild in GA so far, but these things come in waves, so just because my kids didn't get it in late September when it was all over here doesn't mean they'll be safe when it comes back in February.

I'm not sure I've ever had the flu. But I got my first flu shot Wednesday because they did them here in the office. After the crazy not-swine flu I had back in April, I'll do anything to not get sick this year. I was a bit tired, but I have a feeling that's from overwork and not the shot.

oh flea, why? I am hearing lots of arguments against the vaccine in general but nothing on mist vs. shot.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Em got the H1N1 vaccine in the mist. No seasonal flu vaccine though. Not sure if we'll do it this year.

Hil, that story is seriously effed up.
My back has been hurting for three days. This happens with PMS sometimes, but it usually doesn't last this long.
I got the flu shot at an office clinic, and will get the other if/when it becomes available.
So tired today. No particular reason. But it's a lazy Friday anyway with coming in late and employee appreciation day.
Aaand apparently I was just the victim of a phantom bus, so apparently I'll be sitting at a bus stop for a while longer.

6 Batman vs Batman: Mayor of Batman city sued Warner Brothers
The mayor of an oil-producing city in southeastern Turkey, which has the same name as the Caped Crusader, sued helmer Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros for royalties from mega-grosser "The Dark Knight." Huseyin Kalkan, the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party mayor of Batman accused "The Dark Knight" producers of using the city's name without permission.
"There is only one Batman in the world," Kalkan said. "The American producers used the name of our city without informing us." No one from the town of Batman has explained why it took so many years to take legal action, since Batman first appeared -as a comic book character- in 1939.
