I'm in a new to me portion of the hospital! It's something between the ER and the observation unit. Which means new nurses, and mine is an Android-slut, so we talked Asus Transformers and the limitations and strong points of various OSes, as well as web sites with...useful stuff.
Why am I here? Because the ER wouldn't follow protocol, not even the wrong one. I didn't get one recommended dose, never mind the 2 or 3 that it would take to work. Guess what? The doctor hadn't even realised THERE WAS A SPECIFIED REGIMEN. Until the last dose, at which point he did up the dilaudid, but it was too late, and a bit too little to boot.
Silliness.
Anyway, that's my Sunday.
My poor sister. Due to my general embargo on political discussion (like, with parties involved, not rights, etc) she functioned as my only outlet during my first election ever.
She seems to care less about condoms in porn and more about GMO labelling than I do. Neither of which ostensibly have to do with parties, but they're right there next to party stuff.
Question (in the not having watched Schoolhouse Rock way): if I wanted a proposition voted on, what would I have to do to make it happen? I mean, who do I need to be, how much money do I need to have, how much do I need to spend, etc?
In California? I think it's just X number of signatures saying we want to be able to vote on this proposition. And X is a surprisingly low number, although I do not remember what it is, just that I was surprised it wasn't higher. More money means being able to hire more people to collect signatures, mostly. But it's supposed to be grass-roots and it's a pretty low bar to entry.
I'm glad I voted in the middle of the week. On Saturday, the last day of early voting in Georgia, there were reported waits up to 6 hours. The main advertising we have is over the charter school Constitutional amendment, which is essentially a blank check for for-profit school companies. During the past few days, there have been apocalyptic Romney ads.
I don't understand people. Some people are complaining that they missed part of SNL because the local news continued coverage of a breaking story about a helicopter crash that killed two police officers. Get some perspective and learn how to use a computer, people. The officers were part of a search for a 9-year-old who ran away after getting a bad grade. He was found shortly after that, and his mother is blaming herself for the officers' deaths.
Nothing quite like getting a collect call from a jail. No, I don't know who it was, and no, I didn't accept the charges.
Scratches Dana off the list.
Well, Tom, next time you have to enunciate. Being arrested is no excuse.
Looks like the schools in my parents' town (my town? The town where I grew up, anyway) aren't reopening until Wednesday at the earliest. I think that at least one of the schools still has no power.

We used to get these at work, heh.

I once took one of those at work. Our photographer was out on an assignment and got stopped for an outstanding warrant for a ticket he thought he'd paid.
He had to call for the boss to come bail him out. it turned out that he was right about having paid the ticket, too. It was all pretty funny. He's a small slender man with a long braided pony tail, so we had a lot of fun with the idea of him in jail.

Not an excuse but sometimes there's an explanation, like say if the caller was arrested for drunk driving?
