Hey, it's Yaya from Top Model on Ugly Betty! t /random

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.

WARNING - freaky and disturbing!

15 Most Painful Shoes Ever Created

The first one is a shoe that does the same thing as foot-binding. Has a disturbing picture of a deformed foot that apparently resulted from wearing the shoes.

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.

12 Most Ridiculous Lawsuits

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.

FluMust has a live, but weakened virus. The shot is a killed virus. You CANNOT get the flu from getting a shot. You can possibly get the flu from FluMist - which is why they don't recommend it for the most vulnerable people, i.e. children under 2, pregnant women, and the severely immunocompromised. My kids aren't particularly at-risk, but if I have a choice, for them I'll take the shot. And since they just got FluMist for seasonal, I'd rather they get the shot for H1N1 if possible. It's not fully rational, and if my choice is FluMist or nothing, I'll be okay with FluMist.

Also, children under 10 are supposed to get TWO doses of the H1N1, a month apart. How the heck I will manage that i do not know.
