I wonder if the office could tell the very busy doctor that the laws of physics don't know how busy he is, the processes to repair his screw up are done by machines, and can't be done faster than the machine is physically able to operate.

[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.

Yeah, he is not so much with the listening and being reasonable. Shockingly, he is also the type to be obnoxious to the other office staff then be all sweet when he gets me on the phone. I am working from home. grumble

Laura, tell him if he keeps hitting the Enter key on his computer it will go faster.
I just made it rain by spraying Roundup. For my next tricks, I will water and leave my umbrella in the car. It's an absolute frog-strangler out there, too, and graphically illustrating my drainage problems.
I'm loading software onto a Windows 7 machine while working on an XP machine. It's kind of like rubbing your tummy while patting your head.

Dear Dr. Air O'Gant,
We have two speeds; if you don't like this one, you ain't gonna like the other. So shut your cakehole.

Happy birthday, Ellie!
Pete's other way of dealing with me when I am sickly: surprising me with movies and books. I now have the new Wolfman movie on Blu-Ray, and the Neil Gaiman & Charles Vess book Instructions.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm sort of cleaning. I'm too achy to really move much, so I'm looking around and trying to decide what to Freecycle. So far, the only thing I've found is an electric keyboard from about 1990.
