Ah, never mind on the urgent care query. Not enough money, so it's moot.
Phone is also turned off til Friday (payday) Sure hope none of my job prospects call.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Erin}}} Not enough sleep makes everything else so much harder. I wish I had some idea that might help.

Yup. Nothing like an endless round of worrying about trying to sleep. And now I might lose the line on the only job-nibbles I have had in months.
It's very, very frustrating and depressing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Kanji symbols are... controversial in tattooing, from what I know. I think they are passing out of fashion, and are often roundly mocked by Japanese/Chinese speakers.
If I were ever to get a Hanzi tattoo, it would be 有仁 ('Yŏu Rén'). It means 'benevolent'. It's also Ryan's Chinese name. I'm pretty confident I haven't mistranslated it or missed any "Ich Bin Ein Berliner" wackiness (unless Wallybee's parents are in on it, and I wouldn't entirely put it past her father). It is, however, phonetically identical to "This toilet is occupied".
It looks like the feeding tube will be coming out tomorrow barring any major setbacks.
Excellent!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Yup. Nothing like an endless round of worrying about trying to sleep.
It's the worst. I spent last night / this morning doing it. And just getting close or drifting off for a few minutes at a time. A few times long enough to dream of shooting people. Which was surprisingly easy.
I wish you rest, Erin.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Erin, do you need a Google Voice invite? That way in future stuff you can use your GV phone and even if the phone line gets turned off like that, you can still see and grab the messages online. I'd be happy to send you an invite.
I hope you find a way to sleep. I'd suggest a hot bath just before planned bedtime but I'm guessing you've already tried that one.

Congrats on the successful lunch, Drew! I hope you're on target for the tube coming out tomorrow.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Erin. I wish there was something I could do.
It is, however, phonetically identical to "This toilet is occupied".
BWAH!!! Well, at least you wouldn't get peed on? By anyone other than Ryan, of course.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Drew, that's fantastic news. Fingers crossed that everything stays down properly and you're extubated by morning.
And ugh, Sox. I am totally cockpunching that prof with my brain.
And damn, Erin. I just two days ago managed to get off the no-sleep train after a good month or so of worry-induced 3-5 hours a night unless chemically assisted. I just wanted it to go away, not migrate to someone else.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Today, my officemate went off on a rant about how the TIAA-CREF retirement fund is forcing him to invest in all kinds of things that he doesn't want to invest in, because he'll only invest in precious metals, because that's the only real commodity, and the Fed is ruining our currency, and a dollar isn't worth anything anymore, the only thing worth anything now is gold.
Why are all of your officemates crazy? And if he doesn't want to invest in other things, he should open a freaking Roth IRA and have someone invest him money at his direction. TIAA_CREF is not compulsory.
