Vodka talk! I drink Absolut. (And then I get a bit tipsy and throw glasses around. Which somewhat defeats the object of the exercise.) I also like a gin and tonic if it's decent gin, and go through phases of really enjoying a nice glass of white wine in the evenings (red gives me migraines).
It's odd discussing alcohol at midday.
Trudy, that sounds strange. Your answer sounds professional and clear. I use the same tone in my statements when companies ask about disability before it's legal to do so. I think it's fair enough to refuse to give details that companies shouldn't be asking for.
I am being unproductive again. Hmph.
Jilli, I spotted the pink sparkly stuff at my local Jewel the other day.
Trudy, I agree, your answer seems on point.
Also, I want to try absinthe reallllly badly, but I would want to try the illegal hallucinatory kind. Doesn't seem worth it otherwise. Is it?
It's not illegal anymore, as the wormwood=hallucination myth, while long dispelled, took some time to get through the American bureaucracy of such things.
Drinking more than 3 sips of almost any kind of alcohol will send me to hell the following day, with not-very-functioning-or-forgiving body. I also dislike the taste of it.
So I avoid it, most of the time. Or try to keep it under 3 sips.
QUICK QUICK I NEED A BRITTANY ANNULMENT! ON THE GROUNDS OF IRRECONCOLIVABLE DIFFERENCES!
haven't you been married too long for that?
I just had the most pain-free healthcare billing related phone call ever! I was sent a ginormous invoice for some bloodwork from a few weeks ago, but it didn't look like they'd billed my insurance company at all. So I called them up, read them the info off my card and that was that! I was expecting bureaucratic hoops, so it was a nice surprise.
Oh thank goodness. I'm in the airport (it is way too early for that--my tummy isn't even awake enough for me to buy food!) and the only seat was next to a guy who turned out to smell. Bad. But he just got up and moved. Whew. Now I just have to...work all day after waking up at 4:40am
ack.
Daniel's taking today off from work, as he is suffering symptoms of stomach flu.
And I'm having a massive headache which even an aspirin/tylenol/caffiene cocktail is not bannishing. Man, that even works on migraines for me, what in blazes is this about?
Fuck CVS. I brought in a prescription yesterday. The person at the pharmacy desk said that they didn't have it in stock, but that they could order it and I could pick it up today. She also called the other local CVS and they said that they didn't have it in stock either. So I said fine, and that I could wait a day for it. I just called to see if it was ready for me to pick up yet. The person who answered told me that the regular pharmacist was on vacation, and she was filling in for this week, but the medication that I need is a controlled substance and she's not authorized to order more of it. So I have to wait for the regular pharmacist -- who is apparently the only person in the store authorized to order controlled substances -- to come back, and I can get my meds on Thursday or Friday.
The hell? How are they allowed to have someone "fill in for" the pharmacist if that someone isn't allowed to dispense certain drugs?
