Thrive to spite them

Things can change suddenly too. A former co worker's son died of cancer this year. At one point they were told he was in remission and his family was posting on FB about how happy they were and tentatively making plans for the future.

Then it seemed a month later the cancer was back and there was nothing anyone could do. He went downhill really fast, they wanted to plan a family trip for Make a Wish, but he wanted to Skype with a Disney star. A few days after that he died.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There was a really long post there. I deleted it. I have no idea what I was trying to say.

Fucking work making me fucking insane. I actually ended up in an argument with my boss whether it constituted a problem that one special type of observation brings the system to its knees in less than 30 minutes and we don't know if there are other cases out there that can do the same amidst 50TB of data. She felt it was not longer as much of a priority to fix the software now that we isolated the known cases. I beg to differ. I'm sorry, if you have software that is capable of running amok and rendering a powerful server difficult to POWERCYCLE, your software has a problem. Uhg. And then the team leads were getting all pissy over territories and UHG. I mean, that I do understand, we're all kinda fucked with resources right now, but whyso testy? We actually have a very good symbiotic relationship between dev, test and ops. WhereTF did that come from?

I'm so over this week.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've only ever been tempted to make a sock puppet to correct grammar and spelling in the comments on sites like Jezebel.

This is why I love us.

and extra hugs to all y'all who are dealing with (family) illness, just because

Do you need an axe, sarameg? That will cycle your power, bingo!

This is why I love us.

Sometimes I want to say "Oy! You! Get off my side until you learn how to capitalise consistently. We don't need Your Kind herE."

Is it okay to take pills in a pill organizer on the plane or do they all have to be in bottles?

That, or to leave snarkier-than-usual comments on some of the Goth tumblrs.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

askye, I've taken medicine in an organizer many times and not had a problem.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Is it okay to take pills in a pill organizer on the plane or do they all have to be in bottles?

Technically, anything prescription needs to be in bottles. I travel with them in an organizer unless I am traveling with something that takes an extra special script or something.

Heavy painkillers or stuff that can go black market, I'd throw in script bottles just because it's so much easier.

But I've never had an issue with either. I do try and remember to put meds in carry on if it's anything I'd care that went missing with luggage for a day or two. Just in case.

The IT guy said he got a little panicked and was afraid he'd have to unplug it. SO BAD.
