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.
Back from the doctor. My pee is good. No pneumonia. No infection. Just a flu. "A real flu, like swine or the seasonal." I just have to tough it out through the rest of this week, and continue my ibuprofen gobbling ways.
So. That cost $15 and three hours of my day. And I had to sit in a waiting room for an hour with a mask on my face.
On the plus side: the doctor was nice.
well, still good to know there's not a UTI...my last one would not GET OUT, and the anti-b that works the best now gives me hives...that was like the worst August ever.
Hmm. I wonder how full-featured the mailroom at work is. It would be too much to hope they'd let me give them money for postage, I guess. But at least I can drop a package off there.
We have a full post office at work, which is nice. I can mail packages from there even when I'm on vacation :)
A question for people who drink: how unusual do you think it is for someone not to drink? I met a guy at a meetup a week ago, and when I told him I didn't drink, I got this response:
No drinking?? Odd but understandable. More explanation is a definitely necessary.
Is it really an OMGWTF YOU MUST EXPLAIN kind of thing?
Is it really an OMGWTF YOU MUST EXPLAIN kind of thing?
No, it really isn't.
Not in this day and age, I don't think so.
P.-C., no, no explanation is required. "Drinking alcohol" should not be considered the default condition of a human.
My sister doesn't drink now, and I think it's freakish and strange. But we grew up together, and I know her. When I meet someone new who doesn't drink it doesn't make me wonder, unless I had had plans to take advantage of them while they were inebriated.
Well, she basically doesn't drink, which means I will be trying to ply her with alcohol the whole time she's with me. I did kinda feel like a lush the last time we holidayed together at the all-inclusive place and I discovered my love of the plain daquiri.
To some drinkers it is though. I have (ex)friends who only socialize over drinks. It is their main activity outside of work and home and they always make a weird deal out of people 1) not drinking 2) having only one or two drinks.
