Oh my god, I need a nap.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I locked myself out of my work email, which is mildly okay since I'm off work to go in for a procedure (eta: but my out of office message has the wrong date...). I was at the hospital at 8am, and finally at noon they let me go home because they had no bed yet, and they don't want you to bring your meds in and it was time for my next dose. Of course I don't want to go back to the horribly uncomfortable waiting room, and they said they'd call me at home when they had a room, but I don't trust them. So I called them, and they're already behind just returning that call.
::sigh:: So that's a half day I could have worked. Thanks, guys! One wasted cab round trip, one early wakeup and rushed meal, and hours sitting in thoughtlessly designed chairs.
Not that they confirmed this until I called them at 4:30 yesterday, or anything.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Am I the only one who thinks maybe this news item isn't telling the whole story? Child rapist dies in farm accident before going to prison.
Props to the news station for not putting "accident" in scare quotes.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
sounds like he committed suicide to me.

I'm saying. (Outside possibility that he got whacked, but most likely suicide.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
ETA:remember this when you see "All Vegetarian Diet" as that's really a not great thing. We probably shouldn't feed them Vienna sausages (though they love fish scraps as I recently learned) but for the most humane chicken raising they should be pastured and eat bugs
I am always suspicious when I see eggs labeled both "Free Range!" and "All Vegetarian Diet!" If one isn't a blatant lie, those are some extremely disciplined chickens.

Disciplined chickens conjures up odd images.
I give up. I'm running away from work, I just cannot deal with any more today.

Hey. New board.
To be fair, they usually say "fed an all vegetarian diet" which I assume mean their provided supplemental feed (posturing is never enough) is vegetarian. As is mine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(posturing is never enough)
I knew those chicken farmers were poseurs!
Gris, are you raising chickens for your own use, or more than that?
