This is a really interesting article about the first five or so minutes of reporting the Supreme Court's health care ruling.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have to go to work! Ugh. Not enough vacation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And double-ugh, I sent the wrong thing out when I was working on vacation! This is why I should not work on vacation -- I half-assed it because I was annoyed to be doing it at all, and therefore fucked it up. I'll fix it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nothing like starting the morning realising you have a doctor's appointment at 9 and haven't told anyone yet.
Never mind the not-over-the-headacheness you were going to juggle anyway.
Yeah, let's start the week by working from home. It's just simpler.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What do you call it when you're in college and you get a grant to do some research?
My boss wants to know.

Also joining the work-from-home club. Mostly because I can, today, which is just beautiful out, so I get more time to enjoy it instead of driving through it.

Fellowship? Research Grant?
So last week when I went to the Dr, my blood pressure was very high. Like 180 over something. I had forgot my drugs when I had gone home, the previous two days, so my doc made me come back today to test it again after a few days back on the meds. I had an appt. with a nurse for the BP test, followed by an appt. with a resident. My BP was fine (124/72), so there was nothing for the resident to really do with me in my appt. But she was really keen, so she started trolling through my records to see what else she could do. And that's how I ended up getting a tetanus vaccination (with added pertussis vacc) this morning.
