I actually went out to a bar that night (after having my wisdom teeth out) but didn't drink of course. Reaction to wisdom tooth extraction varies wildly, but I would give yourself a day or two.

{{{Nora}}} Job~ma.

Bah. I hate doctor's appointments. It's like they see me coming and start thinking of all the different procedures they can try to see if they would work.

Seems my mom got herself a Kindle. Now, she doesn't have a modern computer, or net access. But the kindle downloads without. But is there a way to send her Project Gutenburg plain text type books? Can you plug in a thumb drive and transfer stuff?

You can't plug in a thumb drive, at least not on mine (the older version). But if you rummage around a bit on the Amazon Kindle page, you'll find instructions on how to get books from Project Gutenberg and other places as well. I copied the info, but that's now on the defunct computer.

smonster, excellent hair!

Seska and smonster, glad your respective airlines got themselves sorted out.

Erin, I would have walked out on that massuese. Really. And possibly demanded my money back, if I were feeling confrontational. Anyone pressed down on my sacrum, I get nervous.

Glamcookie Babymama! Wonder who's in there? Soon you'll know!

WindSparrow, I would strongly recommend a day off after wisdom teeth extraction. You may not need it, but dang, if you do, you don't want to have to go to work.

Nora, I want to strangle your stupid boss. I may be projecting; he sounds a lot like how my boss acts sometimes.

I also vote "take the day off." For me, it's not been particularly painful the day after; I've just been exhausted and achy. Also, staying home where you know you've got soft food and teabags to bite on and where you're not likely to have to deal with an emergency is just safer. It is a form of surgery, after all.

I agree a nice social drink is in order.

Great! Uh, I had 4.

---

That doesn't sound good.

Just some tanned, silver-blond woman driving an enormous SUV calling her child (Well, ok, short person in the back seat I couldn't see clearly through the tinted window so I am making an assumption) a fucking asshole. I memorized her license plate, and reported it to social services. I doubt anything will be done, but hey, if she thinks it is ok to talk like that to a child at a gas station, one can only imagine what gets said in private. Maybe, just maybe, having it on record will make a difference to that kid, some day. If they even pursue it enough to follow up on the license plate.

omnis, should we send in the clowns, or the clowns with the flaming chainsaws?

The clowns are already here. Like Stephen King types of clowns. Driving me mad in various ways. Today is particularly crazy with the holiday. Had to get (2) Purchase order/Check Request thingies (they are in transition, still call them PO's, but they are basically Check Requests) in before end of day, as it seems they only cut checks on Wednesday. And nobody was giving me an invoice. I swear. How many times can I say "we want to pay you, but I need an invoice". and they want to be paid before the holiday, and I say, "then I need the invoice now!". Ugg. Now I have to try an schedule a fed ex pick up in ny for a heavy keyboard.

Looked at a Nook in B&N. Liked the form and the weight and the screen. Hated the feel. It felt sluggish and cheap and buggy.

I was supposed to meet with my advisor today. He told me to email him to remind him. I emailed. He still wasn't there.

---

Hil, I wish you got a dollar for every time your adviser did that to you. Soon, you will be done with him!
